hey everyone,

i said i would start a thread when i did something worth documenting so here's were it begins

this is my e30 Tappy

She's a white 91' 318i with a solid shell and a reliable alltho tappety engine(clichè) :B

she's done 185k but the shell looks like its not done half that,

I purchased her in april and so far iv not really done much to it appart from service stuff and takin the sticker off the boot,

in the near future im planning;-

bbs rs reps,
e36 rack w/extralock spacers
custom coilovers with vented discs,
rear disc's,
Welded diff
black leather seats,
mtech 1 spoiler
and an m42/m44 turbo depending on what donor car i get,
or maby even an sr20det,

so the thread begins with reapplying some stoneguard to the rear valance as it started to peel a little and getting the diff off and welded,(will be spraying the valance next week)

Image

diff was a right pain to get off as i dont have a lift,

somehow earwigs had been living on the casing,
no idea why or even how they got there lol

brought it to my mates and set about it with a vengance

Image

result

as i was under the car i could smell petrol, had a feel around were the filler mates to the tank and it was wet ¬_¬,
after some research if found this to be a common problem, so that shall be the next thing to get done, tomorrow hopefully
