Yeup, a blog... I mainly wanted to have a document of the main parts of this build for future reference for a possible sale, and also to document my second build, I guess to start off a portfolio of work if you will.

A little background: this E30 was actually my first car when I turned 16 and went through hell for 3-4 years driving down gravel and being punished at local auto-x's. The car came from Florida and was purchased in Cedar Rapids, Ia. The only rust when I purchased the vehicle was on the sunroof panels. The chassis is still rust free and in great condition considering the fore mentioned. I started this revival process in the spring of 2009 by pulling the engine and going through all of the upper end and replacing all the necessary seals/gaskets in the lower end. The car then had plans for a daily driver/track day car but that lasted about a week. The car started to take on the form of a full race car starting in August of 2009 and just as of recently has gone full swing with a full IT legal cage from Performance Fabrication Inc in Dubuque Iowa.

My main goal is to be race ready by April 17th for the first event of the season with Midwestern Council (http://www.mcscc.com/). This gives me roughly 15 weeks to complete a lot of odds and ends that will make my little white e30 race ready...

From here I have the cage fully installed and ready for clean up and a fresh coat of paint.
