Verde’s GM 5.3 E30 conversion

October 5, 2018November 14, 2018 Steve 5740 Views build, E30, E30 Zone, LS, restoration

Verde decided years back that he wanted his E30 to be running a v8 with the m60 in mind however, he decided to forget half measures and fulfil his dream of LS power. More simplistic design, easier to work on with an array of parts, improved reliability along with plenty power and an incredible sound. It also works out much smaller and lighter than anything BMW has to offer V8 wise.

Mineralblue’s, mineral blue cab

October 3, 2018November 14, 2018 Steve 5013 Views build, cab, E30, E30 Zone, restoration

The colour I know is marmite, but love it or hate it, I have never seen another cab in it (some would say for good reason, but I love it)
Having used it as a daily for 7 years it finally began to show signs of not liking it anymore and eventually I had to park it up and wait for me to raise some funds.

Clarko74’s Chromie

September 28, 2018November 14, 2018 Steve 2274 Views build, E30, E30 Zone, restoration

In late 2007 Clarko got a 1987 320 chromie in zinnober red with 132,000 miles on it. He had heard that the 320 is a little lacking in power but was unprepared for how slow it was compared to the 325. This was put right by swapping the engine from the (now sorn) 325 into it.
