What lurks between seams gives me nightmares! :lol: Haha, me too! so glad hes having a good look at everything on it. Looked pretty clean but still hiding some horrors. Makes you wonder watching some of the patch work restorations what there not seeing/sorting! Managed to get hold of some dream bit...

The restorers are called Focus Five Autoworks in Cheshire and doing an absolutelly fab job! Some progress on the front and rear chassis rails: https://i.imgur.com/LCIrHuq.jpg https://i.imgur.com/PG8YMd4.jpg https://i.imgur.com/e94rhTA.jpg https://i.imgur.com/qjxzFji.jpg https://i.imgur.com/sO1rcq7.j...

It’s having all the metal work done then going back for another dip and e-coat then final paint.

Afew more pics fro mthe restorer of it going into bodywork primer.

Had word that the car is now in bodywork primer and ready for metal work. Were going to be ordering repair pannels and putting together the action plan for metal work.

Awesome info, thanks very much. I’ll have a look into the mk60 unit.

Dan has my rear beam and trailing arms at the minute so can see me bending his ear about this soon enough then!

I’m building a track/sprint/fast road car. Never came with ABS but have converted to 325i front struts and rear trailing arms all with abs rings. The car is a bare shell right now so wiring etc is no problem for me to add. Has anyone retrofitted ABS to a none ABS car? Is it worth adding? I believe t...

The restorers use Enviro strip for the dipping and e-coat. I've heard some horror stories too but ive heard about horrors with blasting too.
The restorer is really confident in the acid dipping process and hes the one whos putting his name to it and painting it so im happy if hes happy.

Alright Dan! I've got a couple. really surprised with how good it is. The main problems are fixing the dodgy repairs to the factory chassis mounts and a dodgy wheel arch welded on the passenger side. The lower rear vallance is toast and the battery tray has seen better days but the scuttle is solid....

yes i think so ,, il check,
thanks,

Any luck?

Well I got word that the E30 had come back from its date with an acid bath! Went down to have a look and very plesently surprised at how solid the old girl is. The main bulk of the work seems to be sorting some issues on the firewall, Drivers side inner arch (shock tower side), the rear vallance, fr...

After an m10 318i intake manifold with the fuel rail and throttle body if possible.
Hopefully they havent all been scrapped!

And heres the reason I've decided its time to fully restore. The cills looked abit crusty so i did some investigation with a wire wheel.

The current head scratcher. Ports line up nicely and think getting the new flange on there will be the easy bit. getting around the steering column may be fun!

Alpina style ABS boot spoiler and mtech2 style side skirts

Heres some recent updates of what ive been upto. Carbs rebuild with bigger chokes and jets sized to suit and hopefully make some power and get up onto the 292 cam!

Hi All, bit of a long timer on here with my 316. Its been in multiple garages over the last 10 years slowly rusting and waiting for some much needed attention. I'm finally at a point in life where I can do my dream build so its full send from here on in! I started this summer thinking I'd just get h...

Facelift front valance needed please. Doesn’t matter what colour just needs to be straight and not rusty.

Thanks,
Si

I'm after a front center console that goes around the gear leaver. Would prefer one with no window switches but not too bothered if it has them for a 2 door (will push me to convert to electric windows!)

Thanks,
Si

Hi Jon,

Si

Has anyone got any experience with decent aftermarket iS skirts? I've seen Garagistic are producing some. Any others that are worth a look if i cant get hold of some decent genuine ones?

Looking for some skirts for a 2 door please.

Holy thread revival :banana: The 316 has been in storage for a very long time while ive sorted my life out. Now shes back in my own garage. I'm hoarding parts and getting the mechanicals done to get her back on the road. WhatsApp Image 2023-04-29 at 13.20.07.jpg WhatsApp Image 2023-04-29 at 12.39.07...

Can anyone recommend a decent wheel stud conversion kit for stock e30 hubs? Sorry for being the fool but why do you want to do this ?? Mart. It’s a track/drift car I’m building and since having studs on my other car I just feel it’s a lot easier. Just want to make sure I get some decent ones.

Good to see you back with another Andy.......even if it's got the wrong engine!

Need to dust of mine and get it going again!

Heres a pic of the damage :( its poked a whole right through. luckily the roof lining is already out as I've been looking at the sunroof rust. Thinking about going for a carbon roofskin. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Si_e30/WP_000709.jpg The 2002 crank has a bigger stroke than the 316/318 o...

Hello! Its been a while since I've been here! The M10 is still going strong and up until the other day I was looking into getting the carbs retuned again as I'm struggling to find someone to do it properly! However the other night during the high winds a roof tile has decided to make a mess of my ro...

Never thought about the centre bearing! That'd explain it. Sounds terrible when lifting off, i think if its gone its proprly gone.

I've got a really bad rattle under my car. It only seems to be when i lift off and seems to knock around corners in time with road speed. Theres no marks or scrapes on wheels or drive shafts. It sounds alot like the exhaust is hitting a heat shield. Ive moved the exhaust round and checked the heat s...

Thats great, thanks very much.

Just one question about the fan clutch. is there a servicable part on them (like a clutch plate) or if they need replacing does the whole unit need to be changed?

Any news on these?

Hi Bret,

Chassis number I have PM'd and its Manual.

I'm not sure on the make of the fan clutch? its just to replace the tired old unit which i stupidly removed in favor of an electric fan.

Thanks
Si
