Amazing work mate, very nice.

[suchy]

Oh so you have been doing something then

[Nobby_N]

Amazing

[Jhonno]

Nice..! Looks like it could do with some camber though..

[Hoobs]

Nice aggressive look without looking OTT. Really like the overall look fella. Just goes to prove hard work is worth the effort.

[Dirty6]

And








Now take 'em to the platers and see how hard he laughs at them.

[Dirty6]

Aint that the truth.

There's a thread with your v8 round 'ere somewhere no? Cant find it, want pics, this thing could do with a few more cylinders....

[Demlotcrew]

Very nice! Great work, would be nice to see some close up shots of the rear mountings?

PS I couldn't resist, this is Alice too!



I was ignoring her, this certainly got my attention!

[Dirty6]

Done

[Hoobs]

Very, very nice.

How did i miss this thread?!

Epic build, hat's off mate, looks like a factory BMW build...only better. Incredible attention to detail.

[Dirty6]

Was a bit bummed with it.

Anyway, was a nice day today, so thought I'd wash some of the pine pollen off that gathers this time of year. Cursed stuff. Dropped it on its wheels, towed it outside, washed it. Feel betterer.









Aaaannd threw a battery in it to test some stuff. Decided to check out the fuel pump to see if I could find a reason why it wasn't triggering and no earth! Fixed that. Springs into life. Fuck it. Plug the missing coolant sensor in, throw some gas in it. Fuel pump works, builds pressure and stops just like it's supposed to. Flick key to start. Raaaaaa.

Fucking stoked. Idles smooth, revs nicely, sounds crisp (through no exhaust ha). Win.

I`ve been watching this beast grow,got to say mate very insperational work.
I`ve noticed that you`ve delocked the doors and boot,have you made some sort of manual override in case of remote failure.
Always fancied de-locked doors but never gave much thought as what to do for an override.
I`ve seen fords with them done and put a little push switch under the mirror,which seems a bit daft as you see it a mile off.


Edit. Just seen page 1 with boot lock pic

[Sawyer_E30]

What an undertaking - This E30 looks great!

[Dirty6]

Never did get around to posting these here.









Pics are up to the usual standard of course.

Car is fully legal but as per, now have new plans after acquiring a rough as guts 540i as the next doner for it.

[Hoobs]

Like the sound of that idea.

[dirtee-herbert]

Oh my god.
This is amazing. You f#####g legend.

Well done.

[Gortour]

After all that work, and getting it looking that good, you're going to pull it apart again?

[DanThe]

At least an M62 will be plug and play

[Dirty6]

Should be pretty close Dan, some coding but not to big a deal.

Wish fitting the thing in the hole was as easy. After changing it to a rear sump setup I've boxed myself into a corner somewhat.
