Here are some photos of my motorsport after I rebuilt the top end of the engine during the winter because head gasket blow between 2 cylinders. The engine also came out for sump gasket replacement and complete clean and paint, with loads and loads of new parts!!!
Hope you all like it!!! :)

Very sexy mate!

If anyone wanted to know what their E30 looked like when it came out the factory then look at the pics above. Infact, that's probably cleaner than when it left the factory.

You know you'll have to keep that cleanliness up now 8O

Keeping the engine as clean as it is now will be a mission, but i'll try my best. (No more driving through puddles for me!!!)

I work at Greenford and drive in from South London each day.
This car is an every day car for me.
Glad you like the car, It was looking a bit dirty this morning as it poured down yesterday whilst i was out!!!!
I'll have to clean it again tonight!!!! lol

Neil, That sounds like my area mate, If the car was parked down a drive way at 6 in the morning it was probably not my motorsport as I was driving at that time but could have been My Jreg Cabriolet. Thats mint condition too!!!!
:D
