    1988 E30 318i/320i/325i diamantschwarz metallic

    Hello guys!
    I already posted this e30 next to my other one: http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/show...21#post4344921 but i figured it would be better if i seperate cars in different threads for updates.

    My second e30 project is another 318i year 1988 with sunroof (i really miss it in the silver one). This car has a lot more standard equipment than my other e30 but is a lot rustier. I bought it last year in order to put in m20b25 someday and learn how to weld properly. Plan is to leave it as is on the outside (sort of rat look) but make it clean on the inside.

    As it stands today (missing headlights):


    The old m40b18 engine was shot so I had to buy something else. I've always wanted a straight 6 but didnt think it could happen anytime soon. I found this m20b20 engine in a junkjard in Italy from e34:

    I immediately bought the engine for around 140$ together with transmission:) This is how my fathers car looked like after we winched it in:


    Then after i brought engine back home we opened the valve cover and notice one of the bolts was cracked:

    Fortunately my frined got another good m20b20 block and head so we pieced it together:


    I didnt have any m20 e30 driveshaft so we had to modify e36 m50 in order to fit:


    Engine and car ready for swap:


    Engine in:


    And ofcourse you got to have a burnout at the end:

    This is it from me so far. I will try to update this topic as often as i can. Cheers!
