Alvin,
You are just killing me here.
Nevertheless, this is one awesome machine. Power is not everything, and this car proves it. What suspension and alignment set-up do you have on this baby? That's where the game is played. Please tell me it's Ground Control with adjustible camber plates.
Thanks for sharing.

Project coming along there Alvin. I've owned 3 E30 M3's and miss them all. Will never get tired of those. I'm sure you will be adding all the Evo III bits?
Some pics of my latest one which was sold some time ago for a 993 C4S

I drove on in 1988 and just couldn't swing getting one back then. I drove several and later bought an E36 M3. Altho it was a nice car, the original M3 was much more engaging. What a great engine.
I have friend on the west coast who stuffed an E30 M3 motor into a 1973 2002. What a fun car that is.
Beautiful M3. You sure have some nice vehicles.

As always, Alvin, you continue to impress. Can't wait to see that e30 (maybe next meet)?
BTW, that shop looks plenty familiar. Mr. Chiang does good work, and knows e30's inside and out. Good stuff....

Gorgeous. I too have always loved the E30 M3. For those of you who have owned one, how does the driving experience compare to your 993 or other Porsches you have driven/owned?

Alvin - are you sure this time that it will be DONE? 
I love the E30 M3 as well. One of the best M car built. Here's my previous car prior to the C4S...really missed this car.
