I'm based in Kent most of the time, currently searching for a good shell to use for my m30 conversion!

Driftboy is based in Maidstone, he drives a 3.5 E30 as well!

Hello again Candyman!

I am indeed in Maidstone, and I did indeed fit an M30 engine into my E30.

I've been very busy at weekends lately and probably will be for a little while yet but I'll help you out if I can, if you need any help that is.

Just let me know a little in advance and I'll see what I can do! :D

Thanks again

No probs, you are welcome to come and have a look over / under - whatever you want to see. Or I could come to you when I've got some time.

I used the E30 325i gearbox cross-member with no modifications.

have i? :mad: :D just the one mate :D and it's spent 2/3 of the time since i did it off the road! not the cars fault mind but: money, moving house, sickness, winter, wrong kind of leaves on the line... you get the idea!

as with the other offers, drop me a line if you're over this want and want to have a look how mine is done or anything...

moving towards playtime again though with the evenings getting longer :D

I went there last year, to a Lamborghini owner's club meeting!


I don't own one though. :(

It's a very good venue as well.

And some nice roads to get there on - if I remember right!
