    My AW e30 m3 project

    i just bought this AW e30 m3 with the help of my buddy Archie. The car over all is clean but had bad compression. i took the motor apart and it was the head.. Oh well shit happens but I am going to redo the engine, body/paint and interior. I am going to make this into a nice clean AW e30 m3 with the S14.. Here is some paint pics for now..










    more to come once she is all done and assembled.. Turn around time was 1 week...

              lmao.. This one will be for sale soon. It will be a nice and clean e30 m3 with zero issues, it will just need a good home to take good care of her..

              Oh wait til you see my Henna project. lol

                    Hey Karim, what was wrong with the head on the S14? Wish I had the money to pick up the pieces of the S14, that could be an awesome engine for my black car..

                    Have fun with the Alpineweiss. Looks pretty good already.. Still can't figure out what color to make my M3. The Zinno car looks hot though. Post more pictures of that one complete and convince me!

                            the head has 2 bad valves, so a 3 angle valve job on the head will do the job..

                              well I like them nice and clean and most people would rather buy a worry free car then something they have to pay big money to bring back to life..

                              for example and ordinary guy buy an e30 m3 that needs a paint job, upholstery and engine refreshing. It will cost him at least 10k plus. so why not buy one that has all that done.. people with clean e30 m3 want at least 20k plus.. I will sell my white one for under 20k and it will be cleaner than the so called clean ones out there... Makes sense right..
