That looks really cool, what lips and barrels did you use? Did you just cut the brackets off the Coilovers and weld them into the e28 struts? I have some d2s that I want to do the same with... Any issues with the diameters like the golf Coilovers being smaller?

Thanks! Dont remember the name of the company just that its a french company that makes them.

I cut of the brackets, and had to machine down the diameter on the coilover to make it fit inside the e28 struts. The best would have been if I used e34 struts since they are a bit bigger

Since my last post I've replaced the headgasket, got new lips for what is now the rear wheels, a last minuted solution before a bmw meet, modifyed golf 2 coilovers up front mtech fender flares and mtech 2 steering wheel with brown leather to match the interior but I'll let the pictures do the talkin

Not happy about the height up front yet but it will go lower soon

10x17 rear with 3,5" lips








Golf mk2 coils into e28 coils :P a little stiff but works fine for now

Man amazing build! Just read the whole thread and it's very inspiring.
I love the clean engine bay, relocated fuse box etc...
I've seen some people flip the throttle body over to the other side of the intake manifold to have the air intake on the cold side. That would eliminate the 90 degree elbows.

Thanks for sharing and keep it up!

Thanks man! Comments like this motivates me

Yeah I know people flip the throttle body and I was thinking about doing it myself but I think it looks kinda stupid too :p

The trx's are on, and the car is lowerd again... not happy with the fitment up front, so I'm gonna order 3.5j lips to make the 7.5j into 9.5j. Then its gonna be 8.5j up front and 9.5j in the rear

If I wasnt an idiot this car would be drivable now I used only hose clamps on the high pressure side on the powersteering.. so that ended in a blood bath lol but that is fixed now.. going to fill it up with oil today and hopefully take it for a proper test drive with both power steering and power brakes

Some pictures of the cars first take on the fresh air after 5 months..



And heres the solution on the air filter and airflow meter situation..
