4door tech II conversion

Recommended Posts

Progress pics. Will finish sometime in next couple of days when work isn't so manic.

Found the donor car cheap as chips with no WOF or Reg and stuffed Auto. Will rebuild in stock form with new Auto for g/f for matching e30's. It will be a 4door auto 320 and will have my current suspension setup for slamming looks. My car will have a more fitting H&R plus bilstein setup.

Night 1: Donor car halfway thru stripping

Still to do - wash and fit number plate, align LHS front door as it is from the donor car and needs fine tuning, swap mirrors for painted ones, swap boot lids to finish tech II, fit rear guard tech II panels.

Then I can start repairing and reassembling the donor car for my g/f - it never ends!!!

P.S. the observant among you will also notice I scored a smiley ellipsoid upgrade.

I may be a bit bias here, but I love it! I truly think e30s look better in four door.

Awesome Mtech two ftw!

Real nice.

With some cars, the paint can fade ever so slightly over time.

Does the donor have any colour matching issues?

If not -- you're a luckey bastard and shouldn't complain about the workload.

They're not perfect,but only direct sunlight or 1000W halogens can tell.

Pretty stoked.

I do all my work on a dirt floor. Makes it even more impressive I say - when your digging around on the floor in the dirt for a spring clip for the 10,022nd time...

And when you jump in the shower afterward and the water running out of your hair is brown...

And when you spill oil and all you have to do is kick dirt over it. :P

M tech body parts look fantastic in black!

Being a diesel / heavy vehicle mechanic, +1 for working in dirt :D 4 door FTW!!
