The S50 Touring nears completion !

[bigpimpin]

Finally I got my bonnet back on Sunday after 4 Months of dicking around!

I've got a new A4 list of To-Do's but the end is in sight An afternoon of work should get through most of that list and the rest can be done over the winter when it's tucked up in the garage.

I've not updated my website for ages so theres loads to do on it and looking at ste's project website I need to improve it a lot!

Thanks again to everyone on here who's helped me out (you know who you are!). And thanks to the zone, I'd have less scraped knuckles and a lot more money in the bank if I hadn't found you!

I'll get some decent pics up at the weekend after i've got things sorted and gave her a good clean. Here's a wee taster!

[stE30w]

Aright sandy!
good to hear that you finally got your bonnet back not before time eh!

just in time for the sunshine

I`ll just say that ive sat in the passenger seat of this beast(albeit just for a short blast) and it is just that

awsome car and power

credit to ye......

[nickso]

good stuff sandy

hope to get a seat in this beast next summer when it emerges from hibernation

shame you didnt make it to the aberdeen meet.....the two m30 e30's and your creation would have been a great presence

[Andy335Touring]

looking sweeeeeeeeeeeet!

Amen !

[Morat]

I'd give my left nut for that car!
















(not that you'd particularly WANT my left but... but the offer is there ).

[bigpimpin]

Thanks for the kind words and offers of male body parts!

Spadge, the colour is Lazer Blue.

Stew, the blast would have been longer if I didn't have my mate in the back causing the tyres to rub

[mattG]

nice job sandy lets hope your old kit looks as good as this one, when you coming south in it

[DieselMeister]

Awesome

If that is what Lazer blue looks like when its clean then there is every chance i may just stick my M30 in the blue one mate
That looks awesome

[Richy325iTouring]

[fuzzy]

spadge the lazur blau paint looks gorgeous when polished and in good daylight, it goes all flippy with red/purply bits too

[tomtomiS]

is that an mtec spoiler on the tailgate? looks well nice

[stE30w]

Stew, the blast would have been longer if I didn't have my mate in the back causing the tyres to rub

yip...maybe i should have sat in the back...then again that`d probably made no difference

there`ll be more chances i`m sure but it was long enough for my gut to say hello to my spine!

now wheres the checkbook.....

[old_skool]

Loving those wheels. Me want some for mine. What are they?

If mine looks as good as that when it's finished then I'll be a very happy bunny indeed. Well done that looks the business.

[bigpimpin]

[gcorky]

[dobbie82]

wheels..

[fastdave]

i luv those wheels r they 4 or 5 stud

[FlashBastd]

Pardon my ignorance, but what is the S50 out of?

[DieselMeister]

The wheels are 5 stud BBS rims - he's done a swap to E30 M3 front legs / rear hubs.

The S50B32 is is the 3.2 litre straight six from the E36 M3 Evo (321bhp).

This car is one of my favourite E30s, and there are a lot of very nice cars on this board

[FlashBastd]

Ah, very nice!

[fastdave]

What a perrrrrrfect motor now i know tourings r the way 2 go!!!! u have set a standard by which other tourers will be judged respect!!

[WillG]

mtech spoliers arent rubber so it isnt. ive got one and its plastic

[bigpimpin]

Here's a few pics I took at the weekend. All the other ones are blurred cause I was freezin!

[DieselMeister]

respect to anyone who can plan a project like this and then still be bothered to actually do it when people all around him are talking the talk but never going for it.

most of us here have grand plans but they aint ever gonna happen. you actually did the job.

I could not have done it without the help of the Zoners who have completed or are still working on their conversions.

Its not the easiest E30 conversion but the sheer brute force of the thing when its completed makes up for all the effort. I almost gave up a couple of times (first engine trashed & the locking LSD incident) but now I feel I could tackle anything!

Would I do it again......maybe if my wife left me!

[320Touring]
