I got offered one of these for free a couple of years ago, because I had no space I had to turn it down :cry:

Good luck with the project though - it would be lovely when done :D

M50 though not M30 winkeye

Fair enough! I was only saying that as it's what I've dont to my E30 - chances are if I'd stuck an M30 in it I would be raving about that :D

I've stuck a M30 in my cab winkeye and done most of it myself, so luckily i sort of know what i'm doing on the mechanical and electrical side of things, plus i've already bought the engine mounts :cool:
