S14's are not for weak in the wallet members. BMW 2.3l s14 tall block is 10.5k with a good usable core so a S62 is more than fine for a car that never existed. Hell a nice S54 would be nice.Originally posted by grt View PostComment

Very refreshing. Properly stripped and on a rot, unlike Vlad.
Very proper and nice.

This is going to be one sick wagon."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

Thanks everyone for all the nice words. It is a project that has been in the making now for a long time, I have been getting all the bits together for it.

Yeh he seems like a great guy, he makes a huge contribution to this community, with his well documented rebuild.Originally posted by DaveG View Post
Yours looks like it will be just as in depth. Are you going to keep the S62 stock or make it a bit more powerful?sigpicComment

This is just coppied over so part of it references to an Alpina rep that this project started out as
Just picked up this touring, saved it just in time as if it had been left like this for long it would have been a basket case.
Body is really solid,no front seats,
Some people will prob shoot me but I think an alpina rep would suit it down to the ground in brilliant red.
Will get up a few more when I give it a wash and see what it cleans up like
Gave it a wash last night, striped the front off it and washed it again,
It has gotten painted a few time in its life as can be seen above where lacquer was used on a later repair
Body turns out to be excellent, small bit of rot in the usual e30 spots .
Small badly repaired crash damage
Rear pocket
Some light damage to repair
Got a bit of the car stripped today and can't get over how rust free it is, probably overkill doing a full strip on it but I might as well keep going now.
Was a bit surprised at the sunroof panel , no blisters at all on the outside but the bottom was really bad, you would normally see it on the top at this stage
All really good news other than that, windscreen corners and scuttle are mint
Sunroof tray is also mint which was a great relief
Even the notorious touring boot lid looks great
The bulkhead is the only place now that can throw something up.Comment
