I didn't realize there was a hairdryer under the hood of that. This is crazy to think you just casually did a 5.3 swap on the side (seemingly in a couple weeks) while you've got the main project in the garage. Nice work.

E30 is getting close, still need to finish up the little bullshit and wheels/tires.
Swapped in e46 control arms for some added camber to get these wheels to "fit"
Made new rear caliper brackets. Welded in diff mount, installed chromoly axles that will probably snap. Filled the diff up. Sold my second hand homebrew coilovers and I'll be ordering some bcracing coilovers like I have in my e28. E28 is all done, running and driving just needs a tune for big cam and no maf. Things are good.

Nicely done! What year is the e28! I love those cars. I have three of them. One will get a LS1 in it. Put it's currently, 4th on the project list... That puts it out into 2018 before it gets done, unfortunately!
