Ended up buying myself another e30 for a daily (previous daily was an e30 and weekender is an S50 E30....):
Please excuse my shitty phone camera pictures - still need to take some proper ones...
200k km 1990 318i Auto (freshly rebuilt M40 by PO)
When I got it the thing was the cleanest e30 I have ever seen - every piece of trim was intact, everything works - the only thing it needed was new engine mounts which I did along with a fer washers as spacers. I managed to get the pan pretty close to level with the subframe, but this also meant trimming the fan shroud as it no longer agreed with the fan blades.
Once this was all done, it was time to install the Airlift Performance Series kit that had just recently arrived (thanks to Bag Riders).
Didnt take any pics while installing but here is the dummy mounting of the tank/compressors (ignore temp water trap placement):
Few more shots:
As it is, the front tyres are sitting on the upper of the guards, need to grind the seam away for another 10mm or so drop. Also have an iS lip to go on so should be able to put it on the floor
Just need to roll guards and then its time for wheels/smaller tyres!
