Full on resto Mtech sport 2

[Jim320i]

I can see the m40 engine mount in the bay.

baltiboy got busted.

There is no way the donor shell was a Tech II, unless the kit was glued on!

Will somebody tell this muppet to F$&$ off the subframe is different because the origiinals are away getting shotblasted and powdercoated
Ive had enough of this Forum i share a project and some small minded twats are just waiting to pick faults and criticize

Ignore the minority dude. The majority are good people and the zone can be great.

The bellends above do need to pish off though

Demlotcrew, your hardly setting an example seeing as your a moderator

I think the issues the above haterzz have is the title implies this is a Sport resto, but the pictures show a 4 pot auto shell being repaired.

Personally I couldnt care less, looks like a nice weldathon that will end with a tidy car

Bang on Jim. Another one bites the dust.

[E30_Aza]

Was gonna put my resto up, but this kind of shite puts me off!
Nice work mate, hope we get to see it finished!

[Nobby_N]

Keep it coming Baltiboy! Fook these coonts, willl look great when you get it done!

[magpie]

Does it really matter?

No it doesn't. The guy is doing a great job.

Please stop wrecking this guys thread. No wonder no f*cker can be bothered to be in this gaff anymore.

i'm w iv treva . let the man build his car and show us his skillz innit

[Rich320I]

great project and nice to see some qaulity body work being carried out.

i cant understand the importance of the shell swap, happens/happened alot with mk2 escorts all the original rs2000's/mexicos where trashed and welded to within an inch of their lives. so good solid base model shells got used to restore and swap all the bits over into. surely its better to be building into a nice solid shell. rather than a patchwork quilt just for the sake of originality

[staley_turbo]

With the new scuttle panel, which vin number did you use?

[Duke137]

Keep posting pics mate, it looks an epic resto!

Hats off to you, more E30's need to be saved IMO

[B7]

With the new scuttle panel, which vin number did you use?

This has been discussed before and I think if a new panel is ordered, I think BMW stamp it for you, Seem to remember Kos knowing the score.

[euan]

keep up the good work another one saved !!

[adit]

Proper resto!

this is true,
order a new scuttle from the stealers and it comes complete with vin numbers, you need to produce valid documents to do this,

this turd in question has seen some action that's definitely a 4 pot shell

will it be registered/advertised as a sport ? or a 318i with new ID ?

correct, your full chassis no is stamped on as is the shell no.

you need the V5, ID and what ever else they request and possibly a police inspection

dare i say it the cars' been re shelled but retained its original ID. in some respects this would be called a ringer, but when you have a legitimate paper trail, photos etc it is legitimate and accepted

[bss325i]

How many mk1/2 RS escorts and now even series 1/2 RS turbos have had the same treatment?

Ringing is a bit of a harsh description as that normally involves stolen cars etc.

This subject has been discussed many a time on this forum and it's such a grey area.

No doubt there will/have been a few E30 M3'd that have had the same treatment although obviously much more work!

[Andyboy]

How many mk1/2 RS escorts have had the same treatment?

At least half if not more. If this ends up a mint Sport with all the right bits it's another one to be seen at shows and enjoyed by the owners, present and future.
The alternative is that it ceases to exist.

Very good point Andy. Well said.

[DanThe]

Its a shame that Tay fella isnt about anymore, this particular topic was one of his specialities

[B7]

Difference is Dan, this guy is making some kind of effort. Tay was just a plum with no clue!

[Andyboy]

Tay was a legend!

[DanThe]

Home made engine internals FTW! It was like a Leyland reconditioned BMW

[Low_E30]

Tay's rear bench was the stuff of legends...

Never mind his rear bench, it was his underwear drawer that got my attention !
