Hey guys
After years of wanting to get back into the garage and lusting over E30 M3s I bit the bullet and bought an old unregistered two door 1987 318i. Striker01 suggested I put together a build thread so here we go!!!
My aim for my car is something that pays tribute to the M3s but with a modern twist. I don't want a replica, so it's going to have various differences: a similar metal body kit, a smooth N52 and some more modern interior creature comforts. It's not going to be a track car, but will see some spirted driving through some nice bumpy back roads (my background is rallying) - so firm but not hard.
Not 100% sure how people normally put build threads together, but I will put some of my work on here. Will probably keep each sub project to a separate post.
In the meantime I'm still going to keep reading everyone elses build project and learn from you guys. I've already leant on hoveringuy for the oil pan - now all welding up and looking good.
Great to be part of this community!!
