Labour cost -2.8 Stroker build

Hi guys - Ive got a cost for labour to take out engine, strip down engines B20 and B25 and build a 2.8 and refit - all the parts supplied by myself.

Labour Cost £800 - How does this sound? Low, High, OK??

Thanks in advance

I don't subscribe to driving cabbies in the sunshine when the temperature is still <10C, however I am in the frozen North.
Same - we often still get snow in March. April to End of Sep for me.

Front Brake Pad Wear Sensor Wiring

Does anyone know if you can still buy the wiring and plug for this - the plug that is faulty is attached to the loom on the car (not the perishable plug that attaches to the pad).

Re: What's a E30 325i sport worth ? With genuine 80k miles!

It's worth what your willing to pay for it - you'll get a million opinions on here - try and find a few cars of similar description as benchmarks - what are you going to do with it? Sounds too good for a daily driver if the mileage is genuine - if it's an investment to be garaged and gently restored...

Re: 320 cab exhaust

2 or 3 piece is relevant, however equally important is the manifold connection - 3 bolt and 4 bolt with2 different sizes. Especially important if it is a 2 piece as this includes the connection to the manifold.

Re:

It's quiet because people are being driven away by other people who think that they are more important than the cars and a general lack of respect for each other....... In my opinion. I pop in now and again but am generally happy having my own personal E30 experience.

Motorsport Leather 0319

Does anyone know if you can still buy or get from an alternative source the leather used in 89 Motorsport Convertibles? The code is 0319 Silver Leather (Silber Volleder)

Good bit away from doing this task but keen to do some research in the meantime.
