I salute you for taking up an E30 restoration project.

It will be a long road ahead, but one that will be worthwhile when it's done. It doesn't matter what engine is has, a nicely restored E30 with a M20 engine will still turn heads :)

Cheers

thank you mr president. as the title goes, this is a once in a lifetime sort of project.. looking back years from now, it will be something to either be very proud of or regret big time :eek:

fuhh major rust of the bottom floor pan and also the firewall ...anyway that's the pain the car body has to go through ....

the end result will surely be awsome .....
 
good luck bro mizhan. don't give up. this baby deserves this. an e30 always does, especially a nostalgic 323. :top:

yup, basically had to replace entire firewall and floors.
 
hmmmnnn....

this will be project will be on your mind before you sleep each night...

believe me, mine was 5 years in the making, yours is one fifth of my time...besides my e28, fast track of 2.5 months...

since you on the whole fire wall, get more welding done on the joints, on the tower, not too much, might distort the chassis..then ask them to use the 'car joint putty'.. kev will know which one to use..

if you wan the chassis to be more reliable, suggest to foam the front inner strut (as shown in the picture without the fender).. since the panels are being replaced part by part.. it will do some justice..

i will add some advise here and there..

cheers..
