Hi all,
So quick intro. I bought my first E30 back in ´12, a alpina white ´86 euro 316. I started a m60 engine swap for it in ´15 but sold it at the end of that year due to buying my first home.
Now fast forward to 2020, I turned 30 and the E30 bug started itching again (dirty thirty e30 thing). So after keeping an eye on the market here in the Netherlands I found someone who was selling his M60B40 project for a nice price, he sold is cause he needed some space. He bought the car from someone else in Poland.
So right now I have a "handed down" project car from Poland in the Netherlands right now. I still need to officially import the car, for this it needs to be completely road legal.
Issues I have at this moment right now are:
- Car starts but doesnt run well
- Car leaks petrol from the exhaust
- Brakes dont work
- Cooling needs to be fixed
- Gearbox adapter needs a proper one installed
- Body work is a PoS (luckily my neighbour has a bodyshop)
- Interior looks like it was in a flood
Lots of stuff to do.
For right now I want to have the engine running well without any petrol leaks. Then I will remove the engine and give it some TLC along with the engine bay.
