HOW MUCH TIME DID MY LS3 E30 TAKE? [EP.14]

Today we break down how much time went into building our LS3 swapped E30. This thing got an engine bay shave, fresh paint, custom body kit, modernized interior, and a LS swap! So you know this thing is going to have an insane amount of hours spent on it!

I'll say it again. This channel is underrated asf

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

You the real MVP 🙏🙏

[@colinbarrineau3102]

I want this channel to blow up already so the builds can go faster lol

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

Yeah that would be really nice

[@jasonkelley6185]

Channel should have more viewership. Sweet work man.

[@lukehopkins3329]

So cool to see how much you guys grind to perfect your craft! Can you do a video about what you guys daily in the winter?

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

Thanks! Ya we could probably do a video on that. Could be a fun topic. Winters get crazy up here

[@Keylimesicle]

That car is a work of art, very nice.

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

Thanks so much!

[@gavinpotter8741]

This is what TH-cam recommend to people, not channels who mod their steering wheels with the help of a team of professional fabricators, I’m lucky cause another friend recommended this to me, millions of TH-cam viewers don’t have a friend recommending good channels to them, and are forced to watch rich people sending their cars to a professional work shop and do the work “themselves ”. I really like this channel so TH-cam, stop recommending shit to us, show us something better, for instance, slightly mad customs 😡😡😡

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

Haha thanks so much! We’ll get there one day! Need more people sharing our stuff!

[@gwaynehiner]

Very interesting. Thanks for the detail and the reminder of the massive investment that you make in these videos.

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

You’re welcome! Happy to share!

[@decelation]

This was a great video. I think you really underestimated the time you spent researching the build. I have at least 300 hrs in the research of my current build and yours looks even better planned than mine. You guys are extremely underrated for the talent and skill you possess. Keep building.

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

Ya I agree. Hard to put a solid number on research for sure. Thanks so much!

[@decelation]

@@slightlyMADcustoms Thank you for creating quality content. Side note I also hate you because now I am trying to figure out what car I can shoehorn a viper engine into lol

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

LOL 😂 do a Porsche 944

[@decelation]

@@slightlyMADcustoms That would be an insane sleeper. Hmmm

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

Or do a C4 vette. Real up and coming chassis I think

[@christiaanmostert3167]

The fact that the video is perfectly 10 minutes long is almost as satisfying as looking at the paint on the car.

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

Lol thanks man! Actually the past 12 videos we’ve posted are exactly 10 mins long 😂

I love it 😩

I love you

[@brett2themax]

If you sold that car of $50,000 you would roughly make $40 an hour, you said in a previous video it cost around $30k to build. I would say you could get AT LEAST that out of her, especially if you get her out at shows when that stuff opens back up.
Just to bring some perspective, I know you love that car, but imagine having 50-60k for a build right off the bat(Ferrari engine? Lamborghini?) Not sure if your cars are licensed to the business as an expense ect but if you start selling them, this may be something you want to look into.
As a car lover I would have a hard time parting with it and would just like add to my personal collection, but as a builder, isnt the point to sell cars? I would love to see you do either, the car is great content, so is getting your product on the market to the consumer.

[@desmomotodesmomoto2033]

They don't want to make things open back up, new variants and all the other lies and garbage,

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

So true. The money would be nice. But it’s also exactly what I wanted out of a E30. To sell it I’d be starting back a square one. Not sure tho. Maybe after a few more summers of enjoying it I’d be fine to let it go

[@walterharris6191]

But you have to think of the money saved 500+ worked hrs mean easily 1000-1500 flagged hrs if he paid some one to do it not to mention the mark up on parts and taxes and any other fees so financially by doing it themselves that's a potential 60k+ saved then factor in TH-cam revenue and I'd say it's not a bad deal
Plus if you're enjoying what you do it's 500+ hrs of fun (mostly) haha

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

Exactly! I miss the building that car now

[@brett2themax]

@@slightlyMADcustoms 100% I would keep it too, you guys have just mentioned being full time builders as a dream job. Burn the wheels off it this summer! I, for one, want to see some track video or even see the E30 vs the FD. Honestly, with the way the market is o E30s, I bet you could get way more than the 50-60k. Those things are getting $$$$$$

[@ayandajones1348]

Did you do the upholstery yourself or did you buy ready made covers?

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

I bought pre made covers from lseat.com
I was a little concerned by the price but they’re actually very nice. Not top of the line premium quality, but I honestly can’t complain

The car is super wavy no straight body

Why you out here being a negative Nancy ?

[@adrianaguilar1236]

Would u be willing to tell me where you got your m tech two front bumper from? I found that having a detachable front bumper would be best for easy replacement in the future. I’ve beat my fiber tech 2 bumper in less than a year!

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

It’s a OEM kit I got off a E30 parts car. I got super luck. These things are getting so hard to find
