Anyway this is how we do engine conversions here in Australia.... Chuck a Chev V8 in it... Ide ditch the seats and change the wheels but he has big brakes so that might be a problem.... Anyway Enjoy.

Not my car by the way im just salivating over it lol

It was incredible the dust... I woke up real early in the morning and it ws exactly like you would of seen on the tv... I thought geez its real foggy our there. (I thought it was one of those red sunrises lighting up the fog).. Then the missus came home after driving 50 miles in it... Its funny every car looks like its done a rally in the desert.. There is little sand dunes in the gutters..

Very very weird day. I have washed the other car that did the 50 miles in it 3 times and its still got dust all through it..

I like the idea of a sleeper but why waste all that money on a frankly scrap base vehicle.
$5000 engine + $10 car does not = $30 000 8O

Problem is Pete, that beige 4dr is probably better than 90% of the e30's in this country!
Bollocks to this 24v scrap!

Ah, but Bob, rust can be fixed. There is no known cure for too many doors, apart from the hiab ! :D
