, long term lover of the more 'retro' cars, always had a soft spot for the E30 shape (hankered after an M3 for ages a few years back), and when my old faithful Mondeo lapsed its MOT and Tax.....good old E-Bay found me a local E30 318 tourer, bought it, gave it a service and then found the engine was fubared (must have had treacle for oil, as it wasnt burning it before the oil change), so did what every sane person does - dropped the engine and went for a 2.0 converion and auto to manual.The reason for the thanks....it only runs
still a few small jobs to do, needs an exhaust, brackets from the donor car, plumbing etc, but it fired first go.Once this is finished, its time to clear the garage, then start getting serious with the other toy, a road legal dragster thats (hopefully) going to run in the Street Eliminator class, looking for somewhere in the 9sec range, time will tell, and Ive never been that fast, so there is a good chance im going to scare myself silly in the process
