E30 m50 "hatchet"

Said I might as well start a thread for this. This is my first project so it will probably be slow and painfull. The car is a rusty-roofed E30 4door with an m50b25 engine. I took it as a p/x for my old e36, this started as a road car but penalty points changed them plans. Don't have a huge budget as I'm still in college that's why things will be a bit slow for now and I've no shed either haha

So things I've done so far are:

- car came with bc coil overs :) and an e36 rack fitted
- stripped interior including the dash.
- beat out my heater motor with the hammer.
- stripped all the interior wiring loom and threw it in the bin.
- d2 racing hydro and new obp .625 cylinder.
-new disks and CL pads.
- sprayed the inside last night with the help of " Dermot-r32"
- got a Mishimoto rad (not fitted yet)
- ordered a 3 gallon fuel tank with built in swirl pot (on the way)
- had mike Deane build my 3.6 LSD

Plans to do:

- spray the outside
- fit the new rad and make up a frankenstine expansion bottle
- lower the car
- get extra lock
- fix the bumper after super drift
- fit the fuel tank and new lines
- flock the dash and wire the new fuel pump to a switch as well as a second fan and the lights etc
- refit the bucket seat and harness
- fit a new low temperature thermostat and a better (not leaking p/s pump)

Probably more just can't think ATM. Anyway hope to update this again shortly and any ideas comments appreciated, good or bad

It's not going as quick as I'd like but that's always the case ha,

And dil it's going black on the outside with bits of pink and green ( to match the harness )

Took the badges off today and gave the boot a quick sand down, not sure if im gunna use the same spoiler , leave it spoiler less or make up a spoiler, took a few pics to see if any one wreck ones the ducktail would look decent.?

And the rough mock up of how the standard spoiler mounted on the edge would look

I might see if I can find an s13 spoiler, think that would be the closest to the e30?

Spoiler less mate. Leave that sexy ass clean.
Good luck with the project ;)
