Picked this up to use for a while.

[eko]

Picked this up off Ebay earlier this week.
Paid peanuts for it and with a few jobs done should make a decent car.
MOTed till February next year,even has couple of months TAX
Needs a small patch of welding behind o/s headlight otherwise its pretty solid.
Has some nice bits fitted...

Black Sport leather trim
//M bumpers/skirts/sidestrips/sill plates/spoiler etc.
LSD
Scorpion exhaust
Coilovers
Staggered Sunflowers

I bought it with an overheating issue.
Boiled over almost immediate;ly after starting and major misfire.
I had the M50 engine I was originally going to fit in my E30 sat in my garage doing nothing so will just fit that in.
I have already removed the knackered engine and picked up a few more bits today to start swapping the parts over from old engine to the new one.

Once its up and running ill swap my insurance over from the E30 to this and smoke it around for a while as the MOT is due on the E30 at the end of this month and ive got a few things to do to that.

fair play, job's a good'n

[bridgemond]

Looks good man

[leeparkes]

Engine swaps on E36's are much easier with the ability to remove the front end and bonnet in the service position

Looks a bargain!

[eko]

Engine all bolted back in and running
Just got to finish putting the front end back together and do a few checks then time for a test drive!

[eko]

Finished!
Front end put back together,fluids checked and clutch bled etc.
Only tried it up the road and all seems well.
Need to do a few more small jobs then ill transfer the insurance over from the E30 to this

Time waits for no man....or so they say

The wheels actually look pretty good on it tbh. I can't believe you have 2 red cars... you must really like polishing

[monkey]

i bet your pleased that you never sold the old m50 lump now

[rix313]

They're growing on me E36s

You know me Paul,never been one to regulary polish my cars.
Does need doing badly though!

Matt I was ment to ring you over the weekend about scanning a mates Audi A4 1.6.
Once upto running temp its a sack of shite.Ive changed the coolant temp switch but made no difference.
Any chance you could take a look sometime for me?

[shedrool83]

Looks tidy Tony and as said above you dont hang around mate.

i never thought i would be able to say the same.

[leeparkes]

In this pic i prefer the look of the E36 to the E30, it sits just right



There not as much fun as an E30 though

I agree mate although the E36 is a bit too low so ill raise it a touch at somepoint.

Only need to smoke this around untill I decide what to do with the Touring.
MOT is due on that very soon and I found a bit of welding on the N/S/R boot box.Combine that too all the little dent/scratches that dont show in the pics is making me question its future

a bad workman always blames his tools

take an e36 316i with bald clad bottle tops on wet salted tarmac and give it some hoof like a complete bell

[BackPeddler]

I have a e36 328i cab, I'm selling it to get a e30 325i cab.
Just found myself surfing ebay for a e36 sport coupe, eko your a bad influence.
Let me know if you decide to part with it...
