Hello, I picked up a 85 318i that had been sitting in front of a woman's house for two years with a fuel leak for cheap. I've started into it with no real knowledge of E30s but a general skill level of a shade tree mechanic. Here is the latest pic of her with springs installed -
She's is an M10 motor 318 which is good for me because I have a 1985 Toyota MR2 all race ready with the same power and same wheel bolt pattern. I already replaced the guibo but found out I need to replace the drive shaft bushing so I get to do it all again next weekend. I have not checked the motor yet but no oil loss or coolant loss so I think its good. I'll check compression next. Currently the plan is to make it into my Auto-X car and maybe when I get tired of the MR2 to transition it to mt track day/race car. Oh yeah, here is a nice pic of the guibo when I pulled it out, probably same one that came on the car from the factory.
