E30 Zone

It’s finally happening, after getting my E30 off fleabay in jan this year it’s finally out the garage and having it’s heart fitted........I brought it cheap with a fooked engine I think if I remember rightly it had about an 8”a crack under the cam........but the guy I brought the car off chucked another engine in so it’s all good........I got the head checked and it was fine .. We was gonna just use the head but I decided I wanted to get a whole new engine instead so that’s what I’ve done.............It’s been in my garage for months now and I finally decided to get it fitted ..........It got taken away on Tuesday with my beemer so I’m hoping it wont be to long before it’s finished and back on the road...........I can’t wait to have some rwd fun...........I'm driving my XR£I cabby at the mo so it’ll be nice to take that off the road and start driving the beemer as the cabby is a mobile swimming pool at the mo”¦”¦”¦”¦.I was hoping to have it back in time for the meet at the ace café at the weekend but I very much doubt it will be done to be fair so I will have to wait until next time”¦”¦”¦”¦Gonna be good to have it on the road finally though”¦”¦..got to get my momo’s refurbed to so they are looking good”¦”¦”¦I hope to meet some of you at some shows and meets next year x x X
