Beemerlad's M52 Chromie

No, No pictures of your car at all. Just the one picture.

Lee,

Spotted this on my travels:

WCMUT> My friend owns an E30 318i. He has bene talking for ages about putting the M42 engine (from the iS) in to it as he has already purchased one. He just sent me this picture of it:

Now I could be wrong and he might have meant to send me the picture for some other reason but I can't check now as he logged off. To me, that looks like a 6-pot, not like an M42... I do hope he's not gone and bought the wrong engine

who's using your photobucket pictures then?
Or have you sold the engine?

Thats mad,
the cheek of some people!

[E30BeemerLad]

I think I have genuinely had it with this thing now, I just can't be arsed anymore.

Another day wasted really, faffing about fighting myself and the car. Thing is, I can't even be arsed to strip the thing to frag it.

[DanThe]

So what are you going to do next Lee, slip into a coma?

I think you should trailer it down here and pay me to spend the days work it needs to finish it

[E30BeemerLad]

roughly how much are you talking about, I'm being serious

[bss325i]

Come on Lee, see it through!

You've got to finish it!

[Simon13]

Come on bert you've got to see it through your close.

Sometimes you'll spend a day and feel like fook all is done but you always learn something or get other things clear in your mind for the next attack!

[320Touring]

ferkin amateurs...

In it for the long haul lee!

I did some work on 320 today-first time in 4 months..

[e30topless]

stick with it fella I have a contract starting in york soon I will be happy to lend a hand

[bss325i]

Tis a shame your not closer Lee.

[Daf318is]

I've just finished my M50, finally put it on the road last friday: You MUST MUST MUST finish it!

It is totally worth every minute spent on it.

[E30BeemerLad]

lol Daf, there's been quite a few minutes done to this one, most of them making cups of tea, arse scratching and wondering how easy the windows would go through with the wheel brace

[Daf318is]

Oh I know all about the wheel brace temptation....... just go get that cup of tea instead!

When you do finish it though one word of advice based on my experience - dont take it for your first drive in the snow, it's a very bad idea!!

[E30BeemerLad]

no chance of snow being about when this is finished, although that would take us through to next winter, so it can't be ruled out

[buster]

isn't this finish yet lee
come on get your finger out. ( looks cool with the french lights btw )

[E30BeemerLad]

Hey stranger,

I heard rumours you were molesting a crapi and fitting a V8 ???

[buster]

yeah i've bought Darrens old engine. 4.8 ltr with those awesome wildcat heads.Good for a 9.6 quarter , i dont think the crapi is good for that speed though

Also bought myself another v8 beast.



Russian Zil 131 . 6x6

[E30BeemerLad]

Dude, that is awesome, is the E30 still parked up with a knackered gearbox?

[buster]

yeah
I've got a new one just need a 3.25 diff.Im on with getting it sorted now though.

[Daf318is]

Russian Zil 131 . 6x6

Man that's a big piece of machinery! I think my E30 would fit under that!

[DanThe]

Changing the diff oil doesnt look a bad job

[gooner1]

Buster, that,s brilliant, love it.

Lee, you,ll always be wondering what it would of been like if you give up now.
This snow won,t. last forever.

[buster]

Diff oil easy, wheel change not

Come on then lee , whats the score with the car then.What needs doing ?

[Daf318is]

Shall we arrange a trip up to York? Get as many zoners as possible to go and work on it and get it all done in a couple of hours?

[daimlerman]

When you lot have finished Lee's car off,call in at Lincoln on your way home and sort my bugger out!

[Omi]

I felt really ashamed that I'd taken so long with mine. (About a month.) This makes me happy.

Lee, organise bacon butties and tea on tap, make sure you've got everything needed and call a regioal meet at your gaff. - Will be finished in hours!

[Bob_S]

he's being a fairy and wont accept the help nor does he want a buggery load of loud m50'd chariots blocking his road lol!!!
come on lee my m52's nearly done now!!

[E30BeemerLad]

hehe, yeah I'm a big girl and I've thrown my toys out the pram with this adventure a few times.

I'm getting hold of a few bits & bobs I need and then I'll put out a mayday call for a work party and see if we can come up with a few dates where folk would be happy to help.

Rest assured, anyone who is willing to give up their time to help will be substantially fed & watered and any favours reciprocated wherever possible.

Thanks guys

[Daf318is]

Two and a half hours away York is - i'm willing to come finish the damn thing with you!

Anyone else coming?

[SUMPCRACKER]

Hire a minibus,fill with tools,collect zoners...send them home full of beer.(not the driver)

[Daf318is]

I don't want to drive then

[E30Gheko]

I'm happy to come and pass spanners as long as I can get the time off work. Presumably it'll be a weekend? Sunday would be best for me as I doubt very much I could swing another Saturday off!

[Omi]

North Wales to York is a bit of a trek, but the more the merrier!

We'll have it tearing up the streets by lunchtime at this rate. - Pub for the afternoon!

[E30Gheko]

Me and Daf live almost round the corner so I guess we could share the driving. It would be an adventure!

[Bob_S]

Two and a half hours away York is - i'm willing to come finish the damn thing with you!

Anyone else coming?

we'll take the golf kid! air conditioned, heated seat luxury!!
and will be over in minutes

won't take long with a pair of numpty's hands on deck, Omi, I can bring that prop up too if we come
