Hi Temp18e30,I see you have good taste in likeing the B6's.I see you posted pics of Kelson's but the red one belongs to my other half RJB6 Roy.He is at present restoreing the car to newer than new condition.This weekend he has plans on taking the engine out to respray the engine bay.He was hoping to have it finished for Gaydon but at the moment it will be Gaydon next year :cry: He is taking pictures of ever stage of the restoration and will later post a thread of all the work he has done.Here is a few of them so far.He does not get on here that often now as he is always in the garage,I think he'd sleep in there if I would let him.But It will be one hell of a car when he's finished it.

He is cleaning everything to new or replacing them,even bits that you'll never see.When the engine bay is complete,the back axile is coming off to be powedered coated and new bushes all round.Is he mad or what???

...........Oh and a re-spray.
Other than that, my Touring's ok for me as it is. After all, it's a working car and I don't have the time to enjoy (or look after) a "weekend" car. :(
Just thought of something else.....
.......2.3 bottom end. YES you did read that right. I fancy doing something a bit different - everyone does, or wants to do, a 2.7.
A 2.3 is smooooooother and more free-revving. I did toy with the idea of an M50B25 conversion or even a 3.2 for a while but I've gone off those 'cos they're too involved - and I'm getting too old for all that malarky!! :fart:
This is why I no longer drive an E30......
