    My new blank canvas

    So I picked up this beauty the other day for $600. Its not much to look at now but it does have a 5 lug swap with e36 m3 front spindles and control arms with ti rears, 3.15 lsd diff, and a good rear bumper and almost zero rust. One little spot on the roof where they had a sunroof shade thing. I run a junk yard and have about 5 e30s including two complete cars I haven't even touched yet just for this type of reason so putting it back together is a lot of work but won't cost that much. Still deciding between a M54, S52 or just putting a M20 back in or going crazy and dropping a S54 or S62 in but that will get expensive

    Seems like a pretty big project. I would definitely love to see a M54 swap, S52 power, M20 weight, with a nice flat torque curve.

        Hey, that's Jeremy's (old) car! Did you buy it from him?

            Wouldn't it be easier to swap the suspension into one of the complete cars...?

              Probably but I bought a 90 coupe at an auction with a blown head gasket and a lot of rust that's just sitting around right now. I'm thinking about doing a m54 first

                OK so I need everyone's opinion. Since this is just a shell it wouldn't be that hard to change the color. Although I do like the white I also like henna red or I could go with a custom color. Should I change the color or keep it white?

                  depends how nice you want it to look.. Its a lot of work changing the colour of a car

                  thats certainly going to be a big project and lots of prep cleaning it up.. Pretty much look like a full strip down job..
