E30 Zone

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.

Look forward to it, bronzit cars are cool

Ahem - this is the photo section

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

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.

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.

Cheers Colin, ill give you a bell.

What like this?


Colin, thought you looked pretty happy.

Yep that rocks on Mims!

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

Here you go

Looking good.

Thanks for that mate , am bit crap when comes to computer stuff.
I was surprised how good it is when started clearing it out.

Another local E30 getting the good news 24v style.


I am with you Lee, chrome bumpers FTW

+1 ^^

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

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

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

and log books

Looking good

Looks so good on the Mims.
Good work so far...

Few recent pics.

finished this year ?

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
