[jbh325i]

well someone said to me about sticking some pics of my E30s up so any exscuse for showing off my BMW's and im sure to show them off. so first up is my touring.. heres a few pics of it first couple are just after i picked it up a few weeks ago off eBay it needed a full system, headlight and 2 tyres for its MOT











here it is after a bit of work done and ready to go over for its MOT




and heres some of it once it passed and i got it home









future plans are building a 2.7 for it fitting the LSD and full s/s system with the 6 branch and the koni adjutable shocks

ill need to dig some pics out of the 325i sport its going through a restoration at the moment so don't expect to much at the moment.

ill need to take some pics for you the way it is at the moment its nearly bare shelled. windows and the running gear is all that remains. wiring loom is half removed no dash or interior.. the engine is next to come out as its only fit for scrap metal. and once the welding is done it will be the painful experience of rebuilding it..

Well done fella, it's nice to see someone keeping classic motors going strong - they're getting a bit rare now.

I reckon the early 90's BM's were probably the best? I know 90's Mercs are reported as the best they ever were

I must admit im not a lover of modern cars the misses loves the 406 and dont get me wrong i like it but given the choice if im going somwhere myself ill take the E30

E30's are great - cheap, light and RWD!

Like the Hartge wheels - Whats the plan with the 2.7 engine - ETA block to create a stroker?

not only is it the Hartge wheels but its also got the Hartge steering wheel and strut brace. im still on the look out for a Hartge rocker cover but they are in high demand. once its been resprayed ill get the stripes on to match..

the 2.7 will be getting built with the ETA bottom end and ill use a high compression head from an early 2.5 a lot of ppl will say to use the 2.5 pistons and rods but then you need to deck the block and use vernier pulleys extra where as ive built a few in the past just by putting on the high comp head and using the new motronic engine loom and had good results in the past. my last one was running with 200bhp which i got told from a "E30 specialist" that it wouldnt be possible to get more than 190bhp using the highcomp head with a standard ETA bottom end
