the car maybe had some mileage on it 162k but the engine sounded sweet and manual 6 speed gearbox was good aswell..
after not realy long time thinking if i should go for e36 or e30 i started looking for a car.
on here i found one with cage (not the best one in the world) ,fiberglass body kit some brakes and sporty suspension for a good price so decided to buy it.
few days later i had the car int the garage and started putting it apart to find out that some of the beautifull rust was covered with filler. actually quite a bit of it.. however just on the back.
pushed it inside
took the engine out of the 5 series
and as much as i didnt like the view of it.. needed to get rid of the 5 series shell
cheked the bottom end for loose bolts as i eard they may come loose
and started the worst job ever.... wiring
removing unnecesary bits
once tons and tons of cables were no longer required we started taking everything out from inside and engine bay.
so shitty dashboar butchered by previous owner. burned engine and old wiring loom
after giving a bit of a clean to the engine bay i thought it will look better in white and rust proofed at the same time
before
and after
after that.. removed everything from inside and after cleaning rust proofed that aswell
and bit of assembly of wiring in the car
unfortunately when i started taking it all apat i founf lots of rust at the rear end so had to sort it out.
(im not the best at it)
started the angle grinder and cut shit load of it out
but in the end.. bit of welding and fiberglass filler made it more like a car that a shit bucket
ok.. so after fixing some of the rust problems it was turn for the engine
it was actually easyer than i thought to put it there.... there is not much space in certain places but all in all good.
done bit more of wiring
and to my surprise it actually worked.
after that i tried to start it.. and i did.. without manifold.. and jesus was it loud.
anybody who looked into the m60/m62 engine conversion in e30 should know that the manifolds are a bich to do with shit clearance.
i gave it a go anyway... knowing that over the winter i will be doing it properly i just made some steel ones to get the idea what goes where.
with all that done it was finally time to put some seats in .steering wheel.. hydro and sort of set it up for my height so its comfortable.. im nearly 7 foot tall.
with this done and a little tidy up i had to somehow put some colour on it as the black red paint was shit and annoing.
and after a small coat of primer or should i say something to rub down before painting over winter
right now im doing some mods to lock and other small bits.
so should be out on the track soon.
