lovely looking E28

[shanehaward]

have no plans yet just clean it up.
although an m30 would be nice
its just got the m10b18 fuel injection at the moment, am i right in thinking i can use the m10 gearbox? would be handy if i could as its a manual...

[Gert_8]

What?! Straight swap? No way!! That's the deal of the century.

[bss325i]

What donk was in the 'scort?

Yes the M30 will bolt up to the M10 gearbox.

[kangman]

that 5'er looks sweet, you best turn your phone off b'cos that guy will be blowing up your line when he realises what he did..

[lyricalnut02]

very nice looking 5 series.

[spook]

Another sick E28 owner, good man

[shanehaward]

What donk was in the 'scort?

Yes the M30 will bolt up to the M10 gearbox.

it was a BIG block 1.3 with a close ratio 4 speed box..

im loving the e28 long time at the moment

[Duke137]

That esc-rot looked like a chip shop counter [shit]

no offence, you raped the bloke M10 or not!

[Splondike]

[daimlerman]

Lose the gangsta number plates and stick an M52 in it.

Needs a real engine though lol
Looks clean

[B7]

Has the other guy been sectioned yet?

[shanehaward]

would love an m52 but its alot of work on one of these isnt it? just going to plod about with the m10 for now. Would like to drop an m30b35 in the near future.

Cannot see why,but I am sure that the guys on the 5 forum will point you the right way.

Engine bay is wider than E30,steering box instead of a rack,so ooddles of room...bet an M60 would drop in.....

[macas]

What a lovely example!!

[shanehaward]

m60 in this would be my dream car. i think this cars turning me into a pervert... every chance i get i go outside just to look at it or take it out for a spin. i think im in love with it lol

[bab-91]

Great deal!

Is the previous owner aware of the swap?

[shanehaward]

yeah he was the one that rang me! . im not complaining. the e28 is not perfect though

[bab-91]

There are some sick people in the world

It's a good colour and despite condition it will be a better steed

Does it have any gremlins lurking?

[shanehaward]

none that ive noticed. i little bit on a corner bit of rear bumper but he gave me a good spare. has abit of laquer peel on sunroof and stone chips on front panel. i call it english patina.. its also blowing from down pipe but he gave me a brand new replacement also . rev counter works sometimes if you give it a whack

[shanehaward]

[rh306]

[George]

Very nice! The alloys alone must be worth a fair bit.

[mani]

That e28 looks the part

[Hotspur]

Shrewd work. Some wagon

[shanehaward]

[Splondike]

Someone stole your springs and rear bumper. Put up a thread to help find these villains

[shanehaward]

bumper will be back on soon dont worry. just waiting for parts to repair it

[suchy]

Bloody hell you lucky b'stard!! You've had a pretty good deal, unless the Escort had expensive suspension and powerplant!!! Looked a piece of cr*p - no offence!! Nice looking E28 you have instead- would look very nice with red leather

[shanehaward]

no offence taken suchy. yeah ill be searching for black leather next year. got to get an m30 in there first and sort a few jobs that need doing.

[shanehaward]

repaired rear bumper finally. also gave it a quick wash




anyone want a deal with my e28? m50/m30 converted e30s welcome
