im just a little boy so im only putting in the 2.5 m20 not brave enough for 24 valves or big beastie engines!!

spent the last 2 days getting rid of all the rust on the body work and re aligning doors, fitting new alarm etc.

still trying to source an engine, was going to just buy an old 525 that had rusted away and swap engines.

loving this whole e30 thing, its a piece of piss to work on compaired to other cars i have had.

A mate of mine uses a JCB. great for getting them out but not very precise when putting them back in but the JCB is knackered and about 30 years old.
