The £200 e30 build progress new pics added

[Jozi]

Should do, pretty sure the wheel base of a touring is the same as a coupe

[Alex]

cosworth conversion for £1800? everything needed to convert and drive away.

a lot of money to have a ford badge under your bonnet

[brewer]

a hell of alot i must say !!!!!!

[magpie]

Ronal Turbos would look

is that a volvo spoiler.


op what engine is in that touring?

[ImysE30]

What colour green is it?

[Ollie_bwoii]

Malachite by the looks of it!

And magpie that is an oem front splitter, was an optional extra on 85-87 chromies and chromie cabby's!

[Dezzy]

Skirts will fit

[brewer]

It has a 2,5 single cam lump init

[brewer]

After driving the touring im in two minds weather to strip and take all the parts i need off it to put on to mine what do you guys recomend i do ???
the spec,

60/40 lowering kit (dont know what make! maybe spax)
IS front sport seats
z3 short shift kit
smaller aftermarket steering wheel
bbs 15" wheels with half decent tyres
chipped

Took it to a rolling road day 2 weeks ago and got 172bhp and it does feel like it while driving. It does have a lumpy idle but drives good. The clutch bite is high but the clutch doesnt slip. Still has the alloy wishbones
this is a snipet from the previos owner from his advert of the zone

[ImysE30]

What's the condition like on the shell?

Sell me the wheels

[brewer]

The shell is 100% solid no rust anywere and the wheels are mine and they even came with the orignal centres been after wheels for ages you or to now tht !!!!

[ImysE30]

Depends on what you want really, a solid shell is not an easy thing to come by nowadays

Touring project, hmmmmm

[brewer]

On the downside all fixing brackets for rear benh etc etc has all been cut out so not entirely sure what to do!!

[ImysE30]

Track it

What parts are you going to 'nick' off it?

[brewer]

Wheels engine suspention and a full is interior came with it too but on the other hand i know someone with a 3.5 tht would go nicley in the 2.5 place hmm or i could go reall crazy and fit some kind of v8 ohhh dear youve dne it again imeys imagination running wild again

[ImysE30]

With my imagination, i would need to win the lottery twice over

V8 would cost too much IMO, 3.5 would do nicely

[brewer]

We will have to see what happens really like the drifting scene but gonna have to stop dooing it streeto as my mate got cought dooing the other week so the touring is going to have to be a track drift car !!!!

[ImysE30]

Not going anywhere without any wheels or an engine though

[brewer]

Well looks asif this is going to be project number two then

[ImysE30]
