well today my e30 4 door arrived back at home :D :D soo chuffed with it its unreal :D

the car origionally had a 2.7 aplina c2 engine in it but this was replaced for a high compression e30 325i engine :D

so this is how she was before she left for mine

be more pictures tommorow when i get along to the garage and get everything cleaned out 8)

the car has its light grills in the boot but most of the interior is basically stripped so its most likely going to stay that way :mrgreen:


also the car is to get booked into a shot blasters to get took right back to bare metal so i can get a full bare metal respray in diamond swartz black 8)

theyres going to be a massive list of stuff to be done and with the plans thats been rushing through my head id be happy to see it on the road by 2010 if that :?

the thing people may like the car is having a cage harnesses buckets and the stripped looked purely because i dont want the car to have the concours look interior but i do on the exterior i know it sounds majorly daft but makes sense in my head :mad:

so the big list of plans



chassis - wheels - tyres - brakes

kw variant 3 coilovers
power flex bushes all round
25mm antil roll bar front
19mm antiroll bar back
custom made font strut tower (strut to strut then bolts back to buck head)
custom made rear strut tower (strut to strut then diagonal bar to the floor )
kazz 2 way lsd
m3 front wishbones
solid engine mounts

hi - spec 4 pot capliers
285mm grooved and drilled discs
ferrodo ds500 pads
good ridge steel braided lines

16 x 8 , 16 x 8.5 bbs lm (reps i know)

205 / 45 /16 goodyear eagle f1's all round


Exterior

M-tech 1 bodykit
Bmw bonnet roundel smoothed
will be a fair bit of exterior smoothing to be done but just thinking what would look best first

Interior

Dash flocked
oil temp , oil pressure, water temp , boost , volt meter gauge all built into the glovebox

Carbon fibre sheets Replaced as door cards

Bucket seats or some description looking at recaro spg's at the moment

willans 4 point harnesses

Engine

2.5 6 cylinder engine
Forged pistons and rods (still researching this)
supercharged or turbo'd still looking at pro's and con's

so its going to be a long and expensive build but when ya know the right folk your ok

remember the only thing thats confirmed at the moment is the shotblasters so everything will hopefully be done in time
