Hello everyone!
Im a engine crazed Swede and my mate happened to have a e30 4 door which dident pass the annual inspection.
So the car had been sitting for about 6months.
Expectations were; No battery, maybe rusted brake rotors.
Outcome, Car was parked between my friends boss car and a concrete rail.
Car wouldent start so we had to toe it backwards cause the jumper cables wouldent reach :P.
When we got the car out and started up, the front brakes were totally locked. Rears got loosened up quite fast. SO we drove the car back and forth on a semi snowy parking lot in hopes of getting them to loosen up.
Ended up that we had to lift the left front tire, remove the wheel, bash on the brake rotor in hope we would get the worst rust to let go.
Eventually we got the car running on all fours. Drove it home, chirping on the front brakes (guess they werent even straight one bit :P).
Now got the car home in the garage, removed all the interior. Gonna start clear up some rust holes.
SO THE BORING BIT CLEARED.
Plans for this car is to just go sideways on track... maybe some on the street just for fun.
So first of planing for a M62B44 to put in, -97 nonvanos.
Gearbox; Im not quite 100% sure, Since there basically is no V8 manuals just laying around, Im thinking about any good 5/6speed gearbox and just weld a new bellhouse. Any ideas for any possible good gearboxes id be happy to hear about =).
(Pictures will come, sorry for the text start:hitler:)
