Just thought i'd chime in here - I'm from Glastonbury, New to the forum but thought i'd start posting rather than just lurking and collecting info as i have so far!

I'm plotting my E30 at the moment, as an attempted 30th birthday present to myself (Mid-August!). Going for an M62B44 4.4 V8 Engine swap, so be good to know of some local experts too :) Currently selling all and sundry to help fund it, and looking for a relatively inexpensive 318 lux/318is with good bodywork to start from, and drive around whilst i gather the engine & conversion parts, and give the engine an overhaul.

Apologies for the live-story feel of my post!!
