New to R3V!!!

Hello all Just posting my E30. I got this about six months ago from a kid who did a M52 OBD1 swap. You could start the car but never got it to actually drive. I fell in love with this car once I saw it and figured it would be a good buy. The body overall isn't a rust bucket but has some dings, dents, and scratches. I was going to get the M52 running, but a S52 fell into my lap so I am going to be doing a S52 OBDII swap!

Nice color! Good luck getting the car back up and running after you get the S52 in!

Thank you. I was going back and forth on keeping the color. I am a purest in some ways and others I am not. I finally settled on keeping the color. I have been gathering parts that I need for the swap and since the M52 was already swapped I have a good head start than most have when tackling a project like this. My goal is to have this ready by August. That is when we have a local cruise that draws a good crowd.

Right on. I needed more opinions on the color. I honestly can not wait to drive it. I have driven it a total of 25 ft. Pretty much from the former owners garage to the trailer so the anticipation is killing me! I am taking the M52 out this week and prepping the body for the new heart.

I think I remember this car and wanted to buy it simply because of the color. A nice Blue E30 is hard to find.

Man, that's a beautiful color. I would love to see it all cleaned up. Which blue is it specifically?

[LostE30]

I thought I got a good deal. I bought out for 1,000 bucks and it already was swapped (not really running) and it has a decent coil over set up on it. The color is Lazer Blau metallic.

Here ya go. I did a quick clean and buff to show how well this 24 yr old paint looks like!

[LostE30]

Who did the M52 swap?

2 owners ago and sad to say but it was done on a budget and not done well thats why it barley runs.
