Thanks mate, nice to see that there are fellow members on here that recognise hard work.

e46 purple tag steering rack fitted and modded the steering knucle to suit

That joint needs the rubber thing in between. With it, the joints will be in correct phase to one another, and the change in rotation speed will be cancelled out. Bit difficult to explain with my english skills.. google it.

Interesting project despite my hatred for diesels.

Did the E30 BBS caps fit straight onto the 16" BBS?

[Marneus]

Awesome work there mate.

Don't see no issues at all as it the same as e34 solid link except the 2 parts are bolted together with self lockers plus the rubber is merly a guibo to take out vibration and to act as a impact point if you had a head on crash.

No I had a spare set of e34 plastic weave caps cut the centre hex out and used the e30 aluminium weave with abit of modding

Forgot to add exhaust has been made, I made the downpipe from 2.5" stainless steel using mandral bends and then got the rest made up from a exhaust company using the 330d standard backbox running twin 2" pipework from the downpipe to the backbox

[appletree]

It would look good with a downswept tip on the exhuast eveb if it is usually the lesser power dervs that have the down swept tip.

[jasso]

Down sept tips are on derv's that did not carry DPF's, but i decidedto have straight 2.75" tail ends even though theres no cats at all.

[jasso]

Pic of the tail ends, not the best pic but you get the idea

[E30machine]

How much you reckon this swap has cost you so far in parts?

I am looking to get this job done too. Big Bavarian Beauties say that they can.

I love what you are doing and I commend you girls the efforts you are putting into the project. Fantastic.

I'm just trying to budget for it if you don't mind assisting me..


Thank you so much.

[glenn]

interesting.....
looking forward to updates

That's intresting as big Bavarian contacted me to ask how much of a mission this swap was.

I'll try to keep them comming but due to having to wait for the welding that's the thing slowing me down at the moment.

lol dude we both know its difficult finding a good welder...specially when we own alot of rust

[jasso]

Got some new interior

[jasso]

If anyone has matching front door cards please let me know

[senna]

amazing!

[jasso]

amazing!

Thanks mate, took it out the other day man it's quick and yet so good on diesel.

[jasso]

Ok so the welding guy has come back to me with a price of 300 - 350 to weld the following 2 sills complete, back pannel, under the headlights, 5p hole on the driver footwell and rust in the corner of thepassenger footwell.

is this a good price?

[jasso]

And plate the bottom of the wings if required.

[pacerpete]

And plate the bottom of the wings if required.

Show us the holes / rust and then we can comment. Remember, not all welders are created equal, some think that a nailed on patch and some stonechip is a proper fix

[Abm1977]

[jasso]

Ok the car is getting welded next weekend or the weekend after as I've ordered new jacking points from cotsworld and they are getting them from Germany with a 5-7 working days turn around.
