My E30M3 and 190E16V slow builds.

[idobref]

So I sold my 2005 Subaru STI and i picked up two cars to build
the first is a 1989 E30 M3 all original thats been sitting for 14 years and currently is undergoing a restoration.
the other is a 1986 190E 16v with 5 speed dogleg all stock just lowered on springs.
The benz is my "daily" till the m3 starts running again

here is the benz when i picked it up



here is the bmw being towed





both of them









painted the grill black and installed a DIY lip on the benz.. came out nice imo

[idobref]

while waiting on parts for the m3 to be delivered i got new wheels and remus exhaust for the benz

[idobref]

wheels installed

not the most aggressive fitment but definitely better than the old ones

[idobref]

got black interior and new dash for the m3 also special delivery from the motherland





also scored 4 pots from e 420E for the benz from the junkyard



decided to paint them silver

Two cars id love to own one day, and you have them both lol. Looks good man, cant wait to see the M3 come to light

[idobref]

Brakes for the benz are done, will install today or tomorrow, hopefully they fit with those wheels.

I love this kind of unbias.

Just need a alfa 155 too, and you'll be set.

what a great thread. so much potential. subscribed! Really hope you're going for a mostly OEM+ look

^^ yep, nothing too crazy, the benz will be 100% stock, just wheels and few suspension mods

i scored a crackfree dash from the junkyard today ;P

Updates.................

[idobref]

I'm really bad at keeping my threads up to date ;(
A lot has happened since the last update
New wheels on the benz, new dash, new bilstein shocks, some suspension mods...
the beemer is almost completely stripped and ready for paint.

















theres a lot of small things that i have done, but dont have pics ;(

I also bought another wrecked 16v with tons of good parts, some i will use on my car, some i will sell..
