has not been the best start to what we both said would be "The year " for us both ,i feel there are still trying times ahead but im sure mate will get both finished to a standard we are happy with and once the 2 blocks are built and we are sipping at a cold glass of coke each in the workshop will look back and think to our selfs ....................................................................."I AINT F**KING DOING THAT AGAIN " :mad: lol

car is now up and running :D

rav, charger seized due to lack of oil. there was oil in there but the circuit was crap as it was installed to high and had no cooler. new set up is awesome and does the job perfect.

gingerrusta, pleasure to meet you and i hope the wheels are all ok. will drop you a line once i begin stripping the cab down.

s, wheel are rota rbx's in 9.5x17 et -19 flavour.

321gazza. i bought the gauges from an audio show a couple of years back. got a good deal on buying them at the same time. demon tweaks sell them too, available in red or blue. expensive but worth it as they read true.

still a few things to do but at least i can enjoy a drive with no worries. can't wait until its run in (again) to give it a boot. I've missed the power

once again, thanks for all the comments

Just read this from page one. Very cool E30. Love the black against the pink/purple wheels and cage. Gauges looks cool. Great work mate. I hope nothing else goes wrong with her and you can enjoy melting tyres at some track days 8) :D

[quote="kingcruizer"]so.. a long awaited finished item is now sat on my drive. running issue sorted with a rather expensive dta s80 pro ecu lovingly tuned by paul over at circuit motors :thumb:
i'll just upload the pics and let them tell the story,

I'd love to know more about the side skirts on this project car. This is a fabulous build major kudos to the original poster - now my mentor...
