Default My E30...
Hey fellas, My names Mike. Been looking around. Have done some posting of my own just didnt share anything..
My car is a 90 325is. Right now its a work in progress. Getting a fully shaved engine bay. Motor swap. paint work. You know all the good stuff.
I took care of all the suspension and brakes a few months ago.

Well here are some photos of it in its current condition.











Heres a photo of the engine bay during work.



A photo of my work so you know what to expect from me and the car.





This is going to be a pretty slow build, So dont expect anything to happen to fast.
Enjoy..

Ha, Thanks. I love them. I just wish they made the 16s with chrome lips. I was looking at a set of SSR Professors. Still might happen if I find the right set.

The metal has a thick layer of scale which doesn't allow it to rust. I moved away for college and don't have a grinder or anything to work on it with so I'm just going to leave it for a while. I have a friend who said he wants to make it a cowl hood so maybe I'll do that eventually lol. Would be weird looking.

Did you try putting some vinegar/water mix on it? Should rust up within the hour.


And thanks fellas I appreciate it.

Vinegar and hydrogen peroxide actually, doesn't do anything unless it rape it with a wire wheel. Shit is strong.

24v swap into the daily? You sir have a BMW sickness.

I hope it comes out good, Its a shit ton of work to do this. Some people dont realize that you need to strip all of the undercoating out of the wheels wells when you do this.
Then self etching primer, primer sealer, undercoating. Its a big pain in the ass but I hope it is worth it in the end.

I got to finish up my DD..






Why cant I leave anything alone.
