Nice, $20,000:p

Fucking fantastic. Any chance you could get it on a scale some day? I'd love to know how much a poverty-spec 316 weighs!

[Ray Smoodiver]

I love the econo-less tacho! Not often you see that!

I would definitely S14 this and keep the original motor in storage.

The plan is to get the M30 running on the M88 ITB's in my other E30, once it's running properly, transfer it to this one.

$20,000?!? I like how he calls it unmolested yet the hood is off in all the photos as if he drives it like that.

The 316 should weigh in around 2300#... Poverty spec ftw

I have 316i with M20B25...best in both world! (except for no A/C)

How'd you do at the show?

[rav320uk]

Didn't enter any show&Shine comps, I find them a bit "Fixed" lately, i've seen some crap winning 1st place, and it's not just me, plenty of other people were shocked.

Sooooooo......today
What a day, 5 hours later and finally finished.
Washed it 2 bucket method, then used the new G3 Clay mitt, surprisingly work well.....next onto some G3 Paint restorer, what a pain, then Autoglm SRP, and finally finished of with Autoglym HD Wax. Autoglym window cleaner, and Trim Gel....good stuff that. result below.

Is that rust in the door jam?

[rav320uk]

No,lol, probably the way the shadow is...
The only "Rust" on this is a few stonechips on the bonnet which need to be sorted.

May I recommend Iron-x and then an OEM paint stick?

You can, but tbh, I think i'll leave it to the experts, i don't want to ruin what seems to be a delicate job.:D

My favorite E30 right now.
