    Hopefully your tank wasn't full!

      Sadly yes it was, it leaked for a good 8-10 minutes. I had filled it up the night before with 91 octane (for the s52 engine). Oh well, stuff happens.

        Balls man, that does blow. Do you have AAA?

        I got a new hood and grilles today. My choice was Bronzit or Alpine Weiss. I figure now that I have to paint a hood I may as well also replace the whole front end while I'm in there. So I'm on the hunt fora few fenders.

            I'm glad you got one. When are you putting that in? Willy reminded me there is a red hood in the State street yard, so I'll be getting that ASAP.

              Not sure when I am going to install it. I need to paint the bottom with rubberized undercoating, and I need it to warm up first before I do that. It'll probably be a few weeks.

              I didn't know there were any e30 at State Street, but its been a few years since I have been there.

                You have an S52?? I am about to begin my M50 swap. It is about 80% ready. Need a few more parts. I would really like to see your set up, may help with my install.

                  Yep, OBD2 S52. I stripped it down to the bare block and head and did a full rebuild first. Its fun. I can show you the car...but its gonna be a few weeks until I have it running again. I'll gladly help you with any questions you have.

                      good question. I'm not sure the owner is on here.

                        I don't think they are on here, in fact I'm not even sure I have ever seen that car and I live 7 blocks from there and walk or drive past there twice a day on my way to work and back home. Interesting, I need to investigate...

                            ArtFood... Nice work. I saw you also created a build thread. I am sub'ing to that. FYI, zoom out to Jalopy in Nampa they have an '87 bronzit, if you need more parts. It was pretty complete.

                              Thanks! I was going to trade the white fender for a bronzit one but I lost the receipt :(

                                Are you the one selling the bronzit hood an fender on Craigslist? I'll keep my eyes pealed for your e30.
