V8 Swapped E30

[johnprusinski]

I ordered the roll cage from rollcagecomponents.com. it took about 3 months to get to my work, so you can order it now and in three month you will have all the parts.

[johnprusinski]

Well I decided to build the step boxes for the cage and I ended up mounting the main hoop.

I got a little bit more tacked in over the weekend.

Looking great so far!

[johnprusinski]

After some time, I finally got the majority of the cage in. I messed up on one piece and I cut it too short, but it was bound to happen. I'll just have to get another piece.

I finally got everything tacked in last night besides the door bars.

Hassle? Fun? Not bad?

[johnprusinski]

It wasn't too bad. Just figuring out where everything goes was not fun.

It's been a while since I've updated this thread. I took a break on the car to focus on family issues, but now I'm back and ready to spend some money. 

The first thing I did was clean the garage and move my car over. I also put it on the ground so I would get a little more motivated. 

Then I bought some coilovers, sway bars, control arms and tie rods. I got the majority if everything done besides the front coils.

It's a 1969 Studebaker project I've also go. Then next to that is an 89 k10.

Welp I finally got my front coilovers done when I got the right strut housings. Now I have a rolling chassis. Just for kicks I put the wheels from my black e30 on.

I know that is just primer but it looked like light silver and I liked it. What color are you doing again?

What a noob

[johnprusinski]

Lol yeah the fender is silver. I painted it just to see if I could paint. I'm going to go with a gray for the color.

Can I suggest aviator grey?  Its such an awesome color.

pastels belong on VWs/girl cars only.

Wouldn't it have to be an actual color to be pastel? I never thought of any shade of grey being able to be called pastel lol
