The Yoga E30 Sedan Chronicle

[Norwegian]

Cool.. i think it's funny to the we are doing the same thing.. but my motor pulling is on a hold until i get my "new" motor..

[graphikg]

Whatever - a clean body e30 is still hard to get. Still a good deal I say.

Kinda, but I'm not getting a new motor. Im just replacing a head gasket ^



Heres the plan -

Operation replace and repair M20

Head gasket
Head Bolts
Water pump (metal)
Thermostat
Timing belt

and a bunch of supporting gaskets and O-rings

I'll probably paint the valve cover and manifold. What color do you guys think? Something clean and simple. Wrinkle black? Silver? White?

I have no bad feelings about this build. It wasn't a do or die situation but a big chunk of preventative maintenance. This car is clean as heck. I imagine that I'll take it on as a turbo or swap car in the next year or two. I daily drive an eta that is starting to show its age, unlike this car.

The lady wants something newer... :dot: go figure. Maybe an E46 wagon? Not to get off topic. We'll see.

It was repainted by the previous owner "new bmw black"
Originally it was schwartz.

[Dj Buttchug]

fap worthy. one of the cleanest 4 doors here imo

I like everything about this thread. A good looking woman that likes to drives a super clean and manual e30? You're a very lucky guy haha

Car looks great so far man, it was a real catch. From a fellow sedan owner, I appreciate a good looking sedan. Keep up the good work!

[e30edward]

Great score on the car and very clean!

[Nick_S]

Gorgeous car! Good luck with the rebuild. It seems you take your time and do things right so this shouldn't be too bad for you.

Well would you look at that. My girl has a black 91 325i four door as well.

[JCarp90]

I would KILL for a four door. Especially one that clean. Love it.

Congrats on the pickup!

[Butler]

Thanks for the love guys
