Hi everyone, this is my first thread, i've had my e30 for over a year now and have been a member for quite a while, always use the site for advice when things constantly go wrong, but never posted anything as general maintenance doesn't seem to exciting to write about!

However, work in progress, here she is my 320, 318is engine which I'm just keeping going until I'm ready to do a swap, have lots of plans and very little time, like to do everything myself therefore progression is slow!

No exciting spec to talk about, since i've had her i've done endless amounts of work to her however mostly its mending things and sorting out bodywork rather than improvements but hopefully this will change soon! :)

Thankyou,

I've had a lot of problems lately so have decided to begin a swap. Have an M52 engine ready for her which i'm planning to put in next weekend.

Not posted for a while, to cut a long story short, put the M52 engine in in August, took the entire car to pieces to complete the wiring, lost all love for her with this new engine so on a sunday afternoon recently, I forklifted the M52 out and popped her old one back in.... then had the pleasure of re connecting every single wire in the loom that had been cut to match up with the M52 loom... And finally 2 weeks later she is now running beautifully and i could probably draw an entire 318is wiring diagram off by heart the amount of time i've spent staring at it :roll: However the final wire in the dash has just been connected :D :D :D :D
