E30 sr320 drift project

[yogi325]

Right lads, said i'd stick this up.. started this over a year ago but it got put to one side and forgot about til a few months ago when i finally got the finger out

basically i had an s13 sr20 that came to a sorry end, so rather than reshell it i decided to stick the runnin gear into an aul e30 shell i had lyin around just to be different

its gonna be a while before its 100% finished cos i'm not workin at the min so just doin little bits at a time and eventually it'l all come together!! needs to be jigged as well after a minor incident with a wall in tullow, the front is a bit outta line but still drives ok so happy days! just worryin about the handling, braking and suspension side of things for now then when thats sorted i'l worry bout the bodywork! looks like shit at the min but it go's like f**k so who cares

only have a few pics of the work so far cos a mate of mine ( bennycw43 on here) did most of the work! he's fairly handy at it i hav ta say cheers ben
