Thought i'd start one of these to keep a diary of the progress of E30 Touring drift build!
So i bought my first e30 touring about 4 months ago with the intention of using it for drifting, picked up a 325 touring for £850 with tax and MOT, welded the diff and off i went!
That was it at Lydden, performed surprisingly well, after this it slowly got worse to the point where it was usable as a daily and i needed it gone, called a mate who breaks cars, exchanged some money and a few hours later i was the owner of a 306 diesel workhorse!
While i had the 30, i may have smashed it in to some solid items, so i'd sourced a shell on ebay, a last minute bid meant i picked up this gem...
For the grand sum of £110! Thought it was basically a rolling shell with no front end, after looking over it found it had an e36 rack, e36 m3 lower arms with polybushed lollipops and also had the front end, along with many other spares in the back of the car. RESULT!!!!
It had half of a 1.8is engine with the box, no loom though except the lighting loom.
Interior was also pretty good condition, although none of this is staying except the dash! And yes i was given a folder of history with the shell!
So it went in the garage, and i kind of just neglected the fact it was there while i looked for guides and others cars for inspiration!
And finally i pulled my finger out and did some stuff!!
Stripped EVERYTHING from the interior, don't really realise how much things weigh until you start getting them out, carpet weighs a hell of a lot! Only found one tiny patch of rust under the carpet which is less than a 1p coin which is good!
Next job is to get the sound deadening gone which looks to be a "fun" job, then i can paint the interior and crack on with the fun stuff!
So yeah, hopefully will be regular updates with this, got a long to do list!
Thanks for reading
I had an e36 before my first e30 and the 30 drifts so much better in my opinion, you'll love it mate!
