So, with this now in climate controlled dehumidified storage I've got to put my latest E30 back together while I'm off work over the winter break.

The plan is also to get the E34 M5 up and running.

Fingers crossed!

My tech 1 convertible is parked up but hoping to collect some parts for the new year, the parts I'm hoping to source are a 6 branch manifold, 260 getrag gearbox and a clean rear top leather bench seat :)

My touring which I'm currently doing up has a few things i need to do in the coming week such as a engine service, source some bbs caps, refurb the wheels etc..

Plan is to take the wings and valance off, dash and interior out etc and have a good hunt for rust and then fully overhaul the front suspension and brakes.

I have lock up with power but if its to cold i will overhaul the front callipers and rebuilt with the new kit that arrived today from Bigred.

:D
Just noticed my above post nearly a year ago (almost to the day)...the cabby has come along way since as i ended up removing the engine and dash owing to some rust holes on the bulk head that needed cutting out and new meatl welding in.

have a number of small jobs to do finish off but am aiming for summer 2016.

also need to find a med case 3.91 diff (open) as the 4.10 is still to high...pm me if anyone has one for sale.

Not got a lot of time over Christmas - too busy at work to take extra leave, two families landing at once for a couple of nights...

But it would be nice to get the M52 that's sat in my garage down to its component parts ready for the M54B30 bottom end.
