E30 Zone

hello to all, thought i would put up some pics of my new project. a few details of the car....its a f-reg 325 cab, full black leathers, leaking roof, no engine, abit of rust, a few dents and in need of my tlc, i paid £500 for it off my mate about 7 months ago. so hears a few pics. i will keep you all up to date with fresh pics and what my plans are as and when they come to me. hope you all like (or not)

Wow. The Zone actually likes a car you are building. Slightly different reception than the last car hey

That looks awsome with them wheels on.I own a 325 cab aswell but it was like brand new wen i bought it but now iv pulled the m20 out n im dropin a e28 m5 lump in it.Hope it turns out as well as yours cos it looks a million dollars.

I love the smoothed engine bay

Looking good get some more pics up when you can

Nice clean looking E30... Good luck, and what turbo engine you going for? ;)

thanks for your comments guys, the wheels are th mono's and yes they are staying on. as for the turbo conversion its going to see ant when i book it in, the front bumper is staying on and the rest of the kit is a gen tec 2. its still a work in progress.

hello mate nice to see you starting something looks good so far.
how much wer rear lights and where from need me some of those.

but i love to be different dont you agree.

As stated in your sig...

"BEFORE I DIE, I WANT TO OWN A CAR WITH AN ENGINE THAT STICKS OUT OF THE BONNET"

Is this going to be "the one"?

To be fair thnk most people appreciated the time and imagination that went into your other work. Maybe for most though it was a bit extreme but even Piccaso must of had his critics. Loving the look of this one BTW.

i wish it was mate but not this one. should have alot of power to play with though.

gooner1- lol i was just having a light joke. even i agree my last one was extreme. thanks for the comment on this one mate.

elf- i agree totally mate. still think the zone should have a modified section. even if there are only a few. you've got a pm by the way.

cars coming along nicely, wheels look sweet!

Maybe they are finally getting the point that modding is not about doing what everyone has done already, but the opposit Cant wait to see the finished article

Thats looking well sweet mate

Seems like your planning to have quite a few extra dials!....

Going to be very sweet.

Smoothed engine bay, respect!

Not keen on rear lights though...
