Bottletops taken off,16" Borbet Bs(9J All Round) put on.

Standard Cloth Interior stripped out,Light Cream recaro Sport interior put in(leathers havent even been sat,were retrimmed about 4 years ago and were still in wrapping winkeye .

Clifford Alarm installed with every sensor you could think of(should stop the b*stard thieves)

Exhast welded all over(was blowing)

THINGS TO DO ON THE WEEKEND & Future Plans-

Roll Rear Arches so i can drop it(wana go seriously low)

Hopefully lower the front too

Put my 2 amps in,with a headunit.

Install 8K xenons.

Put the door cards on.

Install Brand New Scorpian Le Mans Style centre section and rear box.

Install Chip.

Put a Full M-Tech 2 Kit On(Front & Rear Bumpers only needed)

Sort out niggly bits on bodywork

that looks good!
if you're going very low with a M30, remember the front will sit lower already and is heavier.
after fiddling and the complication of having a M30 touring, i'm now running Leda coilovers and i'm very happy with the result! More touring car than just touring!

Looks crap. You need to chop the roof off. I've got a chain saw. Would be happy to give you a hand if you want winkeye

Just cant imagine you in a non cab E30 :?

Loads of potential there dude - going to look very good.

Have you thought of not fitting an Mtech Kit? Would look nice de-trimmed and all the holes welded up on such a simple car. 8)

shaz, this looks very impressive, i think calypso red is one of the best colours in the e30. if i were you, i'd resist the temptation of the tech2 kit, you will save money and and this car would look alot better with a euro/german look. either way i'll be very interested to see where this car goes...

Looks very classy and i love that colour. Get the kit on there mate and that would spot on although the suggestions of not having kit would make it equally lush.

How is the search going for the complete kit?

The fact it has no kit makes it slighly classy! (for an E30)

Thaks for your comments guys,if i dont have any luck getting the kit my plan was to strip the side plastic sill off and flushit,as some of you have mentioned.

hammoj28-i will be blacking the kidney grill out on the weekend,forgot to mention.cheers

Rushy that kinda looks spot on,may go lower :mad:

Giggz got hold of the both side pods & skirts,also a lower front valance,other than that im still searching.

anyway heres 2 pics of the leathers,full pics to come on the weekend-
