Project E30 M52 bronzit

[johnmaccow]

Just got my rolling shell which was a 318i auto in bronze, has no interior engine or box but shell is clean and very solid.
I have a M52 328i engine and box to fit which was for my E36 saloon but after driving a E30 have decided to sell the E36 and build a E30 track/fast road toy.
I have the sump conversion,m50 manifold and m20 flywheel,clutch and starter ready to go on engine and a 3.73 diff. I am also getting the 325 suspension and front and rear disc swap, m3 prop and few other bits and pieces.
I will add pics probably this weekend after I drag it out of the garage and give it a good going over.

Ahem - this is the photo section

Facelift or pre-facelift ? Has CR24v got a new member ??

[johnmaccow]

I know I need my pics up , been meaning to post on here for while so now I know I need the pics up Il definatley bother my arse.
Its a facelift model with black bumpers but I really do like the chromies.
I like the fact it just looks like a tidy old BM with 318i on rear but is going to surprise a few people.
Im gutting whats left of the interior this weekend so will get some pics up asap.
Anyone know decent place around Newcastle to get flywheel lightened?

Shame it's a facelift, but bronzit is by far my fave E30 colour.

Would rock a set of Mim 1900's and a cheeky wee drop. M52 will feel potent.

[Duke137]

Yeah man bronzit on MiMs.....

My old car, in Sig, is now P10Mike's car and he has mims on it. Mims rule.

I saw him today in it, I was driving the cabby home after it passed it's MOT, which was nice.

I've got some bits here for you - including an ABS pump, bonnet ram etc.

[Tedswagon]

What like this?


Colin, thought you looked pretty happy.

[Duke137]

Yep that rocks on Mims!

[johnmaccow]

That looks pretty nice on them wheels, Ive got a set of 15" tsw's that look same as bbs at the mo that I got off Invader. I really want some minilites for it for retro look eventually. Is a set of mims for sale near me at mo . Also got a fibreglass bonnet for it but not sure wether to go satin black or origional bronzit yet.

Not sure how to put pics straight on thread but here's a link.
Cut carpets out and got all water out of it weigh a ton them carpets,got dash in place, just need some front seats as think leather ones too heavy.
Going to set to it with some t-cut and polish and gunk for under bonnet next

[Dezzy]

Another local E30 getting the good news 24v style.


I am with you Lee, chrome bumpers FTW

[Finto_316]

+1 ^^

[bigredbmw]

aye its a solid shell like ............

[mercdriver]

I like it, its different...but cool! bronzit looks good too, not many cars can pull off that kind of colour and look sweet. Spoiler is a good touch to set it off too

[johnmaccow]

Been a while since I been on here, since these pics its now got m3 cloth chequered seats for front and got a houndstooth rear bench to keep in the garage for MOT time and if the kids are in the car.
Ive got a tech2 rear spoiler but dunno if I like it yet, might keep it spoilerless.
Just need a 325i exhaust system, fuel pump, steering wheel and some engine mounts.
Getting there slowly but getting there.
Flywheel off for skimming next

[johnmaccow]

Car is now about ready for test, all lights working apart from headlights dipped and rear fogs so got a bit playing about to do.
Exhaust needs resealing and fan wiring done and it's about there
