Hi my name is chris and i live in sweden this is my e30 that is under construction,

Wow looks good, I love how stealth it looks in the photos above. I really need funds to go turbo.

Thanks =) Well its not cheap to build a turbo on 6 cylinder engine but there are ways =)

Just curious how much time and money you spent on your car... but posted 3 shitty pictures that don't do any justice lol.
