Hi guys, I have been lurking on here for a while and I really enjoy clicking around this forum!
I am from the UK, I have mainly used this forum to offload a collection of parts from parted out cars and also some rare morsels but I thought I would show you some of my cars past and present....
First was a 1990 318is M42 bought in 2009 had a Tech2 kit and I fell in love with this car but unfortunately so did the tin-worm :(
Ended up parting it out, saved some nice bits for myself but she was in a bad way
Previous accident damage sealed its fate
So I also picked this up for small money, not got many pics of this one as it was completely rotten and parted out super quick!
Bought this early 316 carb for the price of a crate of beer, had fun playing with this and learning how to set up and use my mig welder... All to no avail as again I got seriously bored migging and grinding over and over so weighed it in when I found out we were expectin my daughter...
Far too much of this lurking in this sorry blue shitbox
So moving on, bought a cheap M50b25 and collected a few parts for an conversion, I just needed a decent shell as good 2 door E30's are few and far between in the UK now....
Bit of fettling later...
Then this 4 door showed up, best conditioned shell E30 I have seen!
So molested it lol, lowered 55mm
Had a lovely clean engine bay too!
Sold it to a mate in the end after I stripped its morsels and made a profit on it. This car still lives with an M30b35 Alpina engine it now on ATS cups!
Moving on a bit further, spotted this car up for sale 60 miles away on the internet
Looked interesting and I had a few sheckles in my pocket so went for a look...
Then it sat on my drive for a while due to a shitty winter
Turned out to be super clean with only a few rot issues, could this be the one for my 24v engine??
Swapped out the shit interior for the one from my first E30 318is
Offered up a Hartge H27 spoiler I bought.... hmm prefer spoilerless so sack that idea
In the meantime had a load of parts powdercoated and spent third world dephesit at BMW...
HOLD UP!! Got side tracked again.... Bought this heap o'shit from ebay....
The car had kudos though, turns out it is the oldest known RHD E30 built in week 50 of 1982!!!!
Spent a couple of weeks pratting about with it as some muppet had decided to molest it into a matt black drift special, some cars should be kept original and this 323i Henna red car should have been as it was numbe 45 off the Munich production line :)
The previous 44 are believed to be long since chinese toasters....
Blah blah more pics...
Started trying to get it back to some sort of orginality
Replaced welded diff, chrome grills new fogs etc etc
Mint bottletops what it would have had from factory
Got lucky and found the correct interior from a badly crusted donor!
Including the rare 83 spec rear seat with its different fixings!
Removed welded diff
Did a few other bits
Then, got this far with it and being a new parent I just ended up with no time so in a moment of madness I gave this car to my brother for free lol
ROLL FORWARD A GOOD FEW MONTHS, parted out another worthy chariot to generate some money...
Bit more parent time and then paid a mate to install my M50 into the delphin shell
Some other fancy bits including Works Motorsport (WMS) brakes 4 pot front and 2 pot rear om nom nom
Spec is huuuuge, the car wants for nothing and stands me at about $12500 big ones all told not including my own labour..
More pics to follow as away for winter...
Leaves me now with this 323i Bronzit, it is a donor for the earlier mentioned Henna red car so after we liberate the Recaro seats, rear bumper, original spec suspension it will get the full Spax suspension from the henna car, bucket seats, harnesses, Motronic 1.3 conversion and set of 15" BBS and get taken on track days. Even though it looks a proud chariot, it has the early stages of roof rot and rear arch fail.
Sick of parting these cars out so thought I would save this one this time :)
Anyway, if you are still reading thanks for looking and hope you enjoyed my extremely boring life lol
More updates to follow I hope
