E30 Cosworth - finished :P

[Paulsimon8]

Just a couple of pics of the finished E30.

Bearing in mind, it needs to go back to the paintshop for flattening and machine polishing, so the paint is all over the place BUT it has 4 layers of it to get polished









Enjoy

Engine pics?

And are those recaro seats?

[Paulsimon8]

Those are indeed Recaro leather seats, as previously fitted to my cossie

I'll grab some more pics after Ford Fair tomorrow

[Demlotcrew]

Seems like a few people are doing this conversion

if its got plenty of paint on do it yourself its easy i did it with mine even if i am layed up for a few weeks as i fractured my knee cap doing it lol
you need some 1500 or 2000 grit and or a good colour retorer like zaino it will take you 2 days off hard graff but will be worth int i spent a day doing mine so far have a look at see what you think,no one will do it like yourself if you need any advice will help you with pleasure.

cheers Dale

[Paulsimon8]

Cheers Dale - I'm going to flat the paint back with lots of soapy water and 1500 grit paper, then machine polish it with G6 compound

Failing that, my mate who sprayed it will do it, he does it for a living

[hammoj28]

Beast! Looks ace!

[320Touring]

just leave it matt black and get some steelies on it, then go chasing scoobies!

looks ace dude-you and fuzzy will need to get an e30cozzie drift team going

[dmaxfield]

dont rub the edges to much and if you use a proffesional buffer be very carefull as it is easy to burn the paint ,I suggest if you have not done it before go to argo's and buy one of theres as you would not do it with one of those .I want to see your car looking really sweet.

[jon_pure_british]

put a 316 badge on it
and as mentioned above chase scoobies

[fuzzy]

nice one paul,didnt take you that long.it must be more satisfying to have built it yourself though .its an exclusive branch of the e30 zone that were in.only 2 off us so far

[Giggz]

Will hopefully be able to see this monster in the flesh tomorrow at ford fair IF i can get hold of a poxy car to get there!!!

Congratulations on the completion sir!

[Sparkysparks]

[Giggz]

[Jhonno]

[fuzzy]

Seems like a few people are doing this conversion

its the engine to have...what power are you putting down paul,must be nearer the 400bhp mark is it?

[Paulsimon8]

when the engine was in the sierra, it was about 350 horses.

I've turned the boost down slightly, so about 320 horsies now

[stuartgallafant]

Good work Fella! You made the whole job look ridiculously easy, which is more a testament to your ability than anything else. Well done!

Was hoping to see it at FF tomorrow, but both my mates are having to leave stupid early so nackers to that. Post more pics, and more importantly vids. Especially if you are on track.
