actually eggie, i have been very impatient whilst waiting for this E30 to be ready. not long ago, i sworn i will not do anything to the other cars before this project is completed. however, since the E30 is taking way much longer than it should, i had to cool myself down by replacing the E34's upholstery, bought and top overhauled a new engine (!) for it, swapped and refurbished new rims, sourced and sprayed new bumpers and skirts, replaced the shocks and springs, changed headlamps and foglamps, bought set of pilot sports, a new steering wheel, and installed a kick-ass sound system. all of that and the E30 is still not on the road. oh, i also sent the E46 for full repaint last week although it just needed a new rear bumper; before that i bought a set of pilot sports for it and refurbished the rims. that's how impatient i am over the E30

Ahh I see. My mistake. Hope you're alright. Seems like you're very devoted to your stable of Bimmers now. E30, E34, E46. When will you add the 7 silis to your stable?
Anyways, it does seem like a very long time for a resto project, but like you mentioned earlier, it doesn't pay to rush the whole project through. And well, look at the pics! They speak for themselves. From the complete stripping of the interior and total respray, and sourcing of those rims, and to the complete overhaul and protection of the undercarriage, you've definitely spared no expense in ensuring your E30 will be as good as new.
A lot of owners would love to be in your shoes, with the financial means to actually see a project from start to finish, and I am sure the end result will be something priceless. :top:
Hang in there bro.

attempting to install the ultra-racing rear arb
bracket thickness had to be machined down.. tak boleh masuk the top insert on body.
then found the screw lobangs on the brackets don't align to the ones on mount. need to send to machine shop to elongate the holes to match..
