Oyeah, offcourse the car isn't finished yet, it will never be I quess :roll: . The only thing for the first time out will be a passengerseat but after that, we've got some changes lined up.

( and the cornermarkerlights at the front will be filled, the side lines aswell.. )

I'm loving the total factory style rebuld - totally awesome guys, 101% ..however I'm now looking at my own car and thinking she must feel unloved in comparison :cry: :cry:

I've been an avid bmw enthusiast and have owned my e30 since day 1..being legal to drive...
I've been a part of other forums..but have never seen such a great restoration ever performed on a E30 or any "now classic" 80's BMW! OUTSTANDING WORK!
Keep the posts coming! :D

Thanks guys, cool reactions!

Yesterday we had the first testdrive at the Circuit of Zolder in Belgium. It went suprisingly well. With all the modifications and all we expected to run in some problems somewhere but the car just started, every temperature and pressure stayed the way i should and we ran all afternoon. Now we're going to finetune the car as is and after that we will make some improvements.

Some pictures and a movie :

Cheers d6dph 8) ( love your e30 by the way, like the ultimate street e30 )

Now we're going to fix some small problems. The fuelstarvation in fast bends, the way too long difratio and some small things like that. Trying to get it finished for a trackday at Spa at the end of this month.
