I agree with Jon on that one too!
What would I do this fictitious Ԛ£6k that I'm going to throw at my Touring?
1. Hartge H3 'head conversion on a 323i bottom end, with a decent 6-branch.
2. Sport gearbox with Z3 short-shift.
3. Full re-spray.
4. Slightly lower front suspension.
5. 370mm MTech1 steering wheel.
6. Set of Hartge 8x16 wheels.
7. Re-trim (maybe in half leather if there's enough cash left).
8. If there's still a bit cash left, E36 steering rack conversion.
Stuart.
This is why I no longer drive an E30......

P'raps not adventureous enough for some peeps but I'd sell my car, put the 6k for remoddin' to it and buy the best E30 M3 i could find for about 11/12 k & done. Innit ?

I agree with acid bath... but after, full galvanise, then repaint.... engine rebuild, renew everything.... then show it proper.

Finally promoted to Regular! Only took 7 years...

With 6k?!
GRP/Carbon bonnet/front wings/bootlide, custom made to look like factory,
Respray
Oh and that turbo that bmw made to make an m10 get 1400bhp
Or maybe thats slightly over budget....

buy as many e30 mot failures (not hard) as I could, and make some money breaking them. then spend it on a playboy lifestyle. or, if i had to buy more e30s, i'd repeat the above
