Initial D.oug · 11-13-2008, 12:23 AM

hot stunta. Keep up the work log!

I can't believe your doing all this work and then you're just going to sell the car. Keep it as a fun daily driver. e30s are very reliable, simple to work on and get good gas mileage.

coolio

pics ... pushed the car out of the garage .. since it wasnt raining today .. hopefully next time i push it outside it will be under its our power .. and i can take it down the street ...

i am actually thinking about keeping it .. ive put too much work and thought into it .. too much into the car to just let it go too soon ...

if anything i am saving up for some coilovers and BBK

There ya go. Once you start driving it you'll understand why we love these little bimmers so much. Fun little cars!

i purchased the vehicle with a rebuild title already from california for a couple hundred bucks .. and been putting into it ever since

i drove it for a while with a blow headgasket ... knew it was ... and blew it up .. on purpose .... and it was still plenty of fun at low compression on all cylinders ....

hence me putting in another motor from an automatic car ... only thing that sucked is the time between running, blowing up and then putting it back to running which is my own fault

ive been spending way to much money even tho this car isnt even running yet ... and i will probably spend even more money on it even tho it isnt even running yet ... thats how i am i guess .. im building it i guess

im putting all my extra parts up for sale ... to try and get a budget for coilovers and bbk for the front ...

drivnovrdaedge · 12-11-2008, 09:50 AM

well finished up with classes for this quarter on tuesday ...

and i spent a couple hours working on the car yesterday ... got pretty much everything i hooked up in the engine bay ....

around 8pm pushed the car outside .... used jumper cables .... cranked the motor

it poped off ... went into idle ... and sounded awesome ... no headers at all .. LOL

today i gotta push it outside lift it up and fit the exhaust .. wish me luck ...

kyleadkins · 12-19-2008, 04:39 PM

Luck Luck Luck Luck Luck Luck Luck!

Get to work!

drivnovrdaedge · 12-20-2008, 01:24 AM

even tho it is snowing ... i am still workin on my car in the garage the past couple of days

rear end lifted up ... matchin driver side fender ...

swapping out the tan carpet for a gray carpet .. what a pain in the ass!!!

finishing up the exhaust ....

my dad was doing the exhaust ... i helped a bit

using 2.5 inch piping ... 8 ft section .... used the cut a slit and bend method ... didnt use a pipe bender or nothing ... so pipping bends are almost as smooth as possible

these welds were done with an arc welder ... for some reason my father doesnt like using the MIG welder we have in the garage .. he rather use the big old arc (stick welder) .. but wahtever .. its his preference .. they dont need to be pretty

new side mirrors .. black .. off a 91 e30 ... nice color ... both sides match now

everything hooked up in the engine bay
