E30 M50 tear down kinda thing

Exactly! It was a lot easier with the bumper being ripped off too. Just drilled holes and used a sledge hammer to knock the shocks in.
Ironically, that's exactly what I did, unbolted it, drilled, sledge hammered them in.

Hell yeah. Whoever had it maaco painted, had them paint the metal bumpers too. So it almost looks like a plastic bumper with how far it sits in 0.o
Also talked to Andy (the guy who will be timing my motor) a little bit. Were going to be aiming to between now and this weekend for him to swing by. I told him no hurry, but I cant wait to get this thing finished!

I made a couple of subtle hints, like "Im literally free at any time during any day" and "I work for my dad. I can always make time" lol.
you better call me when you drop the motor in buddy.
Absolutely dude. You and Joe are always there when big things happen to my car.

Post pictures, I'm going to do this eventually to the E28, but once I have cash to waste away on the cute fancy fartsy stuff. for now, it's all about getting the car going again, and some fancy ass rims.
Damnit Brian. They're wheels!!!!!! Plus Testors candy red and clearcoat are about....$9 at your local hobby store. lol Screw the VHT crap
-
I paid $14 for all 4 cans. What do tires have to do with anything? Lol. Rims is incorrect. You don't put rims on a car, you put wheels on a car. Unless you're black and they're going on your Monte Carlo on hydraulics. Dem u got sum rimz y0.
I'm all ears.

Not the city lol. The Chevy bricks from the 70's.

I guess this is a long over-due update, but better late than never.
TMS under-drive pulley set, skid plate for an m50 in an e30, and a new coolant overflow
All red tails
Dropped front subframe
Took apart said subframe
Welded support plates on said subframe
Cleaned and painted it, and put said subframe back in car. You can tell its been a while since anything happened in the bay hahaha.
Im aiming for friday to get the m50 timed. If that happens, Ill have all weekend to put things back together! Order up new sway bar bushings and endlinks so hopefully those come before the weekend so my fubframe can be completely wrapped up. Im pretty sure I have all of the parts I need to get the whole car back together, but we will see.
