Updates, pulled the engine out of the donor car. Steering column knuckles were corroded, so we just angle grinded it out..
Also, remember to remove your shift linkage before pulling the drivetrain. We were baffled for about an hour trying to figure out what the engine was caught on.

Waiting for my check to process so i can send the parts to the machine shop.
Internals look surprisingly good! Now i have to start pulling the e30 apart.

Weathers been nice, so i did some work.

Got the top as a christmas gift from the parents.
Top is from topsonline. I did replace the tension straps and cables.
Unfortunately the crimped part of the front window seal guide broke off, so i need to order new ones for both sides before i can fit the cables and finish the project.
The frame also isnt secured down fully, thats why theres so much gap between the top and the frame.
The top quality was pretty good. The instructions suck, but the top actually wasnt a complete #$%^ to replace. If i had to sit down, i could definately point out some imperfections in it, but its the best quality you can get besides overpriced OEM.

Well, after 4 months (what?) of work at the machine shop, i only have one really quick update.

Do you still have the parts car? I havent heard back from you about snagging the parts I need=\
Naw man, the police were on my ass awhile back about it sitting in my yard for so long, and so I had to get rid of it. Luckily, i dont think I had any parts you needed, definately none in good shape.

Everythings together, but no crank.

Your lack of battery may cause no crank
