Sending the rear subframe off to the boys at catuned
Returned, powdercoated, and now e30 differential compatible
A better view of my reworked suspension
The car's original color and 40yrs worth of grime
Subframe/differential reassembled
Front subframe & rear control arms powdercoated
E30 vs 2002 diff.
Much better!
New rear diff installed
We're all done underneath
Now to start working on the top end of the car

Nice progress, keep up the good work! I'm looking forward to seeing the end result and the driving videos. Seems to be a very well thought out and documented build. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks -Homer-, I'll definitely keep y'all updated. Car's getting close to ready. I'll get some more photos up in a bit too.

I very nearly bought one of these with an F20C, had the gauge cluster etc. Please make sure you upgrade the brakes! It retained the non-assisted brakes - first brake on the test drive was a clencher for sure

What were the horse power and torque stats with the stock engine?
Looking good.

Yikes, this will be a major change. Do you know what car will likely weigh when you are done?
