E30 Zone

hi just joined the site few weeks ago great cars and projects on here im soon starting on my one which this great e30 i got for 50 quid taxed and MOT'd hardley no rust the the usual place on the rear tow eye section the wheels were standerd i had these keskins lying about so that was handy and just put the front brows on really.

its nothing speacial at the moment only a 1.8 m40

my plans are to either put in a 3.5 or a 2.8 m50 engine gathering on what ever one i get hold of first.






got hole of a 325i rear spoiler mtech front and back lower bumpers stil looking for m tech 2 sides

will be geting a fresh earley 82 rear end got all the panels ready for that just wiating on the rear lights..

will have updates soon as i get some work done


SAQ

£50 T&T great buy and good luck with the project.

looking good bruv, any chance of a 2.8 going in

cheers boys

if i get hold of a 2.8 before the 3.5 then yes it'l get a 2.8 in there

SAQ

sounds a bargain!

sounds like a good project to me, should be quite impressive once done. the KT1s will definetely look better once the tech2 kit is on.

Welcome to the zone fella... Keep us updated..

£50! what a bargain

the wheels will look great with the kit on

good luck!

HAHA £50? i want onee!!!

haha cheers fela's

Nice one Saqib, very good bargain.

Looks really good.

cheers people

m tec front and back lower skirts arrived today put the front on wilg et pics up tomorrow jus tneed the m tec 2 sides now

They'll bound to pop up on here from time to time - bear with it and i bet you'll get them in the end as most ppl need the front or rear, the side are always the hardest to shift if a seller decides to sell a complete kit in pieces.

oh yeh.............. £50, you lucky basta.............

Neil.

true true


LOOL cheers mate haha bargin

SAQ

will have some pics up today hopefully

SAQ

Nice find!!

Best of luck with the project. Did I read correctly, you're changing the back for pre facelift, or have i not had enough coffee yet??

How's will that affect fitting a tech 2 reap bumper? Although with the fabrication involved in changing to prefacelift, you shouldn't have a issue!! Keep us updated with progress.

Keskins look ok!

yes i wil update you all on changing the rear panel keskins look abit dodgey with out centre caps wich are on order lol. think i need to get the lip polished.

but anyhow i wil start the rear end by next weekend just awating for rear lights to arrive

SAQ

and oh im changing the back to the earlier one its a face lift at the moment

regards

saq

So taking out the whole back panel, welding in the pre facelift one in it's place??

You may need to modify the tech 2 bumper to fit, if that's the case. As Tech 2 to pre facelift cars and vice versa, needs work....

Yeah, polished lip, bodycoloured centres on the wheels would look cool!

yes doing all the work myself its not hard at all to be honest ive done a few in the past before

wil show every step when i do it next weekend

Wicked, look forward to it. I prefer pre facelift lights! Nothing to do with having prefacelift lights on mine, of course!

lool reason being its going prefacelift is, i like them more then the face lift and 2 i wil most proberbley find a m3 kit for it

SAQ.

50 smacks tax and tested! Was it an ebay bargain?

Welcome and look forward to seeing what mods you carry out

Nathan, it's easy done fella - the only real issue is the return of where the face lift lights were on the rear 1/4, you've got to in-fill the small void the rest is straight fit.

Saqi, m3 kit would need an immense amount of bodywork, inlcuding the rake of the rear windscrean, as well as rear arches, if you didn't want to plumb for some fibreglass trash...
