1990 Malachite Green 2 door 320i M20b25 converted.

[500]

Thought I'd start a thread about my 'toy'

As per title, it started out life as a 1990 320 in Malachite green with the light beige interior.

The previous owner had fitted a full powerflow system, standard twin exit, a cheap but effective lowering kit and dropped an M20b25 in it.

The interior was well past it so on the way back from collecting it I picked up a black comfort interior (from E30Gheko), very cheap but miles better than the one that was in it.

Add pics










Shame that the interior wasn't in better nick as I really like the colour combo!

Haven't taken any of the new interior yet, will do before the new sparco drivers seat goes in (and after)

Had a rocker snap, so that got changed along with a new rocker gasket and a black rocker cover (quick job)

Have a chip waiting to go in and a set of injectors being cleaned, just had water issues too so I braved the snow and now it has a new pump, thermostat and a shead load of anti-freeze in!

A couple of pics from the snow..


Just before I did the pump..

I agree the colour combo looks great..


Mine.. Malachite comes up really well with a good spit and polish

Edit. did you get rid of the rear beige headrests?.. are thwey leather?i would be interested in prurchasing if you are selling

It does look well!


Thats the plan, I have detailing gear so will give it a good going over once the weather gets better!

Rear headrests are cloth if you want them? I need the brackets that attach to the rear seat though.

Remember seeing this on ebay ages ago. Wrong coloured valance and bumper?

Love a malachite, not so keen on the wheels and spoiler though!
My malachite had wrecked beige cloth as well, wanted a beige sport leather interior for it but gave up in the end and settled for black

Yep, that's the one... Going to get the front end and the rear 1/4 painted soon, the paint in these areas leaves a lot to be desired or is the wrong colour

The interior is getting there slowly, need a rear carpet and a back shelf in grey/black, may just recover the rear shelf and a set of rear headrests, already got the brackets, there are a few other bits that need sorting too...

Found out that it will need some bushes and a wishbone for the MOT in may so I have the parts, just no room in the garage at the moment as the other half's car is in there being prepped for sale, will get it in for a full mechanical overhaul once there is room as I've some cleaned injectors from the group buy ready to fit and some gaskets too.

Bought some wheels, they're on as they look better than the last ones but they have a smaller rolling radius and are a bit square the kerbing I don't mind as I could have sorted that, looks like I need a new wheel or two or a new set ...

Prodrive Sparco Pro-WRC seat is in, it's the pax seat from my subaru but it will be a while before that needs it!


and some pics....
