Savin Big Money Project Thread

With the header panel sitting under the headlights and corner lights, it would be very difficult to get an e34 grille to fit and those portions would look out of place as filler panels. Also, the hood line and bumper line is much different than the e34 and it wouldn't line up properly. The amount of work it would require to make it look "proper" would cost much more time and money than just getting an e34. 

The funny thing about the e34 is it is almost exactly what an e30 and e36 would look like it they mated.

id say ditch the e30 grille stay with a e36 grille and do the e30 headlights

Why would someone remove the outer lenses......yuck

Hmm, I like the one with the old style grills better than the e36 center with round headlights, but they just don't jive that well.  It seemed better in my head.  I will just get Euro glass ones with city lights and no halos.

John, that is what I run=) City lights are far classier than ccfl's. I even retrofitted city lights into my US-Spec headlights before I purchased my current lights. I hate ccfl's to bits on any car they did not come on factory.

Totally agree, no offense to those with blingin halo rings on their e30s but it doesn't work for me.  I have no problem with upgrading your standard e39/e46 headlights with them though, they look great on those cars.

Just a creepin...

replace the headlights with M20 intake manifolds,   

Core drill a 3rd manifold, add splines, and use it as a steering wheel.

I thought it was in the backyard. I LOVE that it is in the front yard=P

[jc43089]

You are a creeper Mike haha.  Yea my wife loves it in the front yard too...  It is a nice accent to her flowers

[RamRod E28]

Did a few M20 soundoffs going by your house over the weekend cause I have a jobsite close to your house lol

Finally worked on this again, tested my HF sandblaster, using 80 grit glass bead works very nicely for paint/rust removal.  I worked on pulling the ABS harness before work today, just the part that goes through the firewall is left, I will have a complete uncut ABS harness/control box if anyone needs such a thing.  Also removed the Autopage alarm system installed with substandard craftsmanship.  No need for that junk in Pville, also the alarm was so sensitive it would go off if a squirrel farted within 20 feet of it so I never set it/locked the car anyway. 

Got the HVAC box out of the center too.  Pics to come.

[YoungCR]

In for sand blasting pics.

[jc43089]

For the sandblasting I was using the custom air compressor on my Land Cruiser (A/C compressor)  It worked awesome, blasting with a 3mm tip steady at 80-100PSI.  But I am concerned that I will ruin it by putting as many hours on it as it will take to do the whole bottom of the car so I am going to probably pick this up tomorrow.
