It all started about 5 years ago when i got a 325i. I used to play on the first forum:stuartgallafant wrote:we like pics :winkeye:
.Thats a nice looking 318is and the best colour to have one in.Mine was red as well and i spent a lot on it.Sadly a lad doing 100mph in a 30 crashed into it(t boned in the drivers door) and that was the end of that.Good luck with the project. 
have started by taking off the inlet and that side of the engine, but have hit a brickwall at the moment due to being ill...it's covered up and on a pallet, will it be ok out in the cold??

My plan was to replace most of the gaskets on it anyhow...It covered up with some proper stuff, so hopefully should be ok...Got some gunk, but using a hose, wouldn't any water get inside?325eye wrote:It is my father in law doing all the work, I just shout orders and take pictures.
Engines are best left somewhere dry, as long as it is well covered it should be ok. Ideally you want to steam clean it, or get some GUNK and use a regular hose and a scrubbing brush. A gasket set maybe required, but so far I recon the engine is pretty solid for 147k

When I had the car, I already had a modified Volvo 850 T5 that the wife used, we had our 2nd child on the way. At the same time we moved into a house that cost 3 times more than the one we was living in! At the time we were 21 and the insurance and running costs were mental —a so the Volvo and Beemer went. I am back in a T5 now ironically but only a shitter with an RICA ECU [304hp]. The wife has a Honda Odyssey [6 seat people mover] —a so I am keeping the cost of living down as we have 3 children now —a lol.
So I am hoping to buy this IS of the old man when he is done as it will be a real minter. I recon up to £2k is a fair price but we will see
Be very careful though
