I'm starting this build thread now, so I can remember to update it, since I keep forgetting to make one.
I have 2 E30s, as the title would suggest.
The Vert (aka Champagne Papi aka Old Man) (Acquired 11/2018)
1989 325i
Looks
How it came:
Bronzitbeige (a fan favorite)
Natural Interior
My plans for it:
Brilliant Red wrap or paint
Lotus White / MTech Evo Black cloth interior (in progress)
Power
How it came:
M20B25
5-Speed Manual Transmission
My plans for it:
Refresh M20B25 (a lot of this work is done already, but I have decided to pull the engine and fix it even more, along with cleaning/restoring the engine bay)
Transmission is fine, no plans for it
The day I bought it:
The Coupe (aka Frankie) (Acquired 01/2020)
1986 325es
Looks
How it came:
Alpinweiss
Pearl Beige Interior (not for long)
My plans for it:
help the Alpinweiss paint, someone rattle-canned parts of it at some point in it's life, but it will stay white
Cardinal Red Interior
Power
How it came:
M20B27
5-Speed Manual Transmission
My plans for it:
Refresh M20B27 for now
S54 swap once I have finished all of the other projects in my life / $$$
Transmission is fine, no plans for it until swap time
The day I bought it:
I am currently taking the vert's interior apart and cleaning up / rebuilding the seat frames and mechanics.
