E30 Zone

Anyone ever done it here? I know it has been done! but looking to find out how easy/hard it is to do and some info on what bits to use.

Suerly you can pick up a cheap V12 and a cheap E30 with no engine/box etc.

Thanks in advance.

hard, not easy

+1

I'm also not sure if theres such a thing as a cheap V12

have a look in here

try finding a manual gearbox and its not cheap by any means to do it right

Ive got a bell housing from a V12.........

You can pick up a G or H plate 7 series for about a grand i'd immagine, that's cheap considering imo!

I'll have a look on that thread cheers


It's just an idea for a future project, got a project on the go atm that will keep me busy for a few months yet!

Forget spending a grand on one of those, more like £250

Trying to find a 20 year old car/engine that doesn't need any money spent on it is like trying to find a hens tooth.
This conversion is for the rich and the brave and is not quite as simple as turning two £250 snotters into 1 running useable car , ask Dips and Glenn !
