well a few months ago i brought this
a 1991 320i se









i cleaned the engine bay up so it went from this:



to this

Very nice that, just needs a little drop IMO

thats is in progress as we speak!
got the lowering kit just trying to get all the poly bushes to replace the fooked stardard ones
then some new wheels and a few more bits an bobs

looks nice fella

looks nice, good buy

thats a great job youve done cleaning up the engine bay,

cheers guys, yea it took about 3 hours to clean it up.
not perfect but alot better

yeah looks alot better mate looks very clean

smart looking little chariot

Looks great. That aftermarket air filter decreases power. The standard air box in better.

really? feels like it goes better than before, and it sounds great

cheers guys!
im loving it tbh its great fun to drive even with fooked bushes lol

hopefully i will be at some of the meets when i get a weekend off work and get the rust sorted out :/

Some BBS 15in would just finish it off.

and a 40mm drop, and a black grille and... and... and....
this is how it all starts a looooong slippery slope!

yea its started! got the suspension, some of the polt bushes and a 6 branch for cheap
black grill to be done this week and the suspension fitted a busy week off
oh and sort the rear arches out to

right so a little update

went rust hunting the past few days
and found some :S

also fitting the new suspension
but that turn out to be a pain in the arse
lots of corroded parts and some very shagged front shocks!

so ordering the new bits and hopefully the don't break my arm off when they tell me the price :/

ill hav pics and more of an update in a few days

Cracking clean up on that engine bay, nice work....

Looking good fella nice

looking to get my first e20 soon. Just trying to find a good example on the el cheapo. I do like yours, nice cleaning you've done

right so a quick update, got some new bits coming

speedtouch chip
2.5 rear subframe
new sunroof sill
new headlining
and some others i can't think of atm

all i need now is some 15in bbs's for f'in sake!

well its be quite a while since i post on this thread

basicly just after my last post my father (whos been helping sort the car)
came down with swine flu his all better now though lol
then over christmas and the new year i came down with it to

then to top that off i lost my job at the begining of the year and we found out that my uncles garage roff leaked like a cullinder

but basicly its been all hads on deck to sort out the rear arches and all the other bits and bobs,
got it running again last week as the keys went missing with the imobiliser fob
so had to order a new key from bmw and remove the imobiliser (which was easier than i thought it would be)

so got a vid of her running with the new exhaust on it


goes well for a b20

more to come.....

Get some more pics up! Looks like you were making good progress until pig flu got ya

Now that's taking weight saving a little too far
