Hello,this is my e30 320 tourer. Found this one a 1.5 years ago. Noone had touched it for around 10 years :(. Decided to do something different and put in v8. Loads of work done already but still got long way to go.

That's great progress - nothing better than hearing a transplanted engine start up for the first time! Good luck with the rest of the project!

Great work, it must have been satisfying getting that job done yourself. I liked seeing your family supporting you throughout the process!

Did you stay the sat night? I only saw you driving out and missed you up the strip, would’ve loved a chat about that v8 conversion :(
