<![CDATA[The completely vague e30 build thread]]>So I've been off the forum for a bit but I thought I would hop on and give a quick update on the E30 status. Should finally be getting some miles on starting next week. 

I apologize that this really isn't a "build" but I hate saying I'm going to do things and then not getting it done. So I'll just show what happened  :cool:

Noteable updates

Paint, Euro bumper Trim, Side skirts, IS lip, Shaved antenna, H&R springs and Bilstien shocks, updated rear shock mounting with reinforcments, Pop-out window conversion, wheel refresh. 

More to come, but probably at a slower pace...

Looks like the misalignment wrecked the damper as well. Im guessing they did this because the sheetmetal for the mount tore out

Yeah the shock was toast. Body was fine though oddly enough. None the less I added reinforcement plates when I did the suspension update.

Here is a fix from the previous owner that I had to reverse. He gets points for originality... it definitely explains the clunking I heard driving it home.

Awesome. What color did you spray the car?

It's called Dyno Blue Pearl (Honda factory color). Trying to get some good pics because it really pops in the sun!

I did paint it myself (first time attempt in my garage, haha) so it has it's flaws if seen in person. I'm just happy it's one color!

I'm going to try and drive it some this next week (weather was perfect for Throttle Thurs this week! Wish I could have made it) . Only have about three miles on as I've been trying to get it somewhat "presentable".

Still haven't seen this one around Oshkosh yet - you should bring it out to a Throttle Thursday some night at Mahoneys!
