The Kamotors e30 fender flares showed up so I quick mocked them up.
They will need some trimming to fit.
Shot the first layer of matte clear on the trunk and fenders last night along with a rubberized underliner on the rockers.
Wet sanding the shell starts tonight and then first round of OD green !
-
The whole exterior of the car is in primer
Fenders and trunk kid are green!
-
Got the first layer of green on the fenders only to run out, no one in town currently has the dupli-color self etching OD flat primer that I'm using.
I'm going to check with napa tomorrow about custom mixed aerosol cans....
Since I didn't want to go home with no power I went back to the shop and cut my riveted aluminum panels to cover the gaping holes in the fenders
-
Almost done with the KBS on the front end, I've started priming at sanding the fenders and trunk lid. Need to get the hood down, kbs, then scuff it and spray the first layer of primer

or dis...
And you say I'm the one huffing paint?

I just have to keep saying it and crossing things off the list...

Might be saving a bunch of cash and getting the clutch and fly off the Kamotors e30
Got the shifter linkage
Flares are ordered
Got a second lead on fenders in good shape
So I'm using mine to test the paint scheme
Dtm fiberwerks Motorsport front bumper and factory rear vent windows are on there way shortly
Now I need to drop the rear sub, get the drive shaft out
Fab motor mounts
Fix brakes
Paint
Reassemble
M20 burnouts !

^ That looks like a CRX from the back=P
That is cool! It's like an AMC Eagle and a BMW did it and this popped out.
I do kinda like this though

The UUC from BAV auto with the oem M5 clutch for 900 bucks?
-
Glad you found one, I got one minus the shifter itself for 35 shipped. I just used my old e36 shifter for the e30. What are you thinking for the flywheel clutch setup?
Yeah someone said I could reuse the e21 shifter as well, I figured what the heck and got the whole unit so I don't have to mess around with it.
I'll get a short shifter eventually as well.
Clutch and flywheel I'm just going to buy new and bite that bullet but as long as both pieces are for the same car I can use a clutch and fly wheel from any model e30 I like, so lightweight single mass kit it is.
spending 700 bucks on a kit doesn't sound so bad when you're not spending 500 dollars on a shifter either
-
lots of dust up in there!
Are you finished with the metal cutting/welding patches?
Havent started yet... I'll admit that cutting the floor out scares me a bit and I've been fixated on getting the pait stripped so I can deep clean the shop and be done with that.

Well I went to the Motorwerks BMW in Bloomington MN on Saturday since I am at my parents for the weekend.
They want 538 dollars for everything in the specific exploded diagram, I politely thanked them for their time and walked out with an itemized list and the memory of why I don't work for a dealership anymore.
After doing some more digging about my specific trans I found that it is a "late" model gt 260 which can accept both the plate and beam style of shifter...
So that helps and I'll be holding out for a used part instead of dropping a ridiculous amount for NEW
Which means I can look at buying the clutch and flywheel as well.
Shooting for an installable motor by the end of the month.Here's the website that helped me sort out which version of the 260 I've got

AND - dohcdoh on bimmerforums.com just sold me a complete linkage for 45 dollars shipped... that is a lot better than 500!
-
This is what I'm getting info wise off my thread in the bimmerforums
Looks exactly like what you have in yours john
-
What linkage parts? Kruse Warthan is usually dissapointing, on service and price.
I'm at my parents so I went to motorwerks BMW in Bloomington mn.
I'm going to go back on Monday when a friend of a friend is working. He is supposed to be good.
Basically the whole carrier and linkage that you have in yours John
-
So I went to the dealer to get all the linkage parts... 500 dollars after tax... And the parts guy was less than helpful so I've got a list of parts to look at and then call in an order guy was less than

Holy shit, you weren't kidding that it was clean !
