At last, the project is starting to get well under way - all the main parts have been collected together and as soon as the taxi shell has been removed by the scrapman, or whoever wants the thing, then its time to make a start on the zeemer

So far I have aquired the following parts

1991 H reg 320i SE - full electrics etc etc, 1 owner from new, FBMWSH, 94k on the clock - £550



















Totally rot free in all the usual rot places, Needs 2 new rear arches as they are bubbleing a bit, but something and nothing


Full E30 M3 front and rear axles complete with M3 suspension, Brakes and uprated pads and discs, Polybushes and goodridge braided hoses, 3.64:1 LSD and driveshafts











A SEXUAL Set of BBS Wheels- 17"x8.5" - yes, eight and a half inch WIDE shod with Pirelli P-Zero rubber (225/40 for the rear and 215/40 for the front







Full M-tech 2 bodykit, Genuine M3 rear wing and a leather tech-2 steering wheel








More updates to follow once i've gotten the project underway

 

As i said on msn dude them wheels are properly sexual!!!

Gonna be a cool little car when its finished

 

 

Nice


should be a monster when finished


You keeping the same power? And going for rwd?

 

Would a RWD MT75 gearbox suggest that its going to be some-what mental Radders

 

Nice one


I'll have to come up and have a battle with you when my cossie S2's done

 

lush wheels...i love BBS

 

You're cossing the BMW? I've been away for a bit, what happened to your Sapph?

I'm very confused?

 

Karroussell + too fast + wrong angle = getting spat out half way round and twisting things

 

Oh I seeeeee................. Sorry to hear of the passing


Looking forward to seeing the BMW when it's done

 

Cool gracie glad to hear your sticking with rwd.

What going on with the engine? Same power as saph or is it getting the big bhp build?

 

i hoped u would have gotten a newer type shell

 

Why - i don't like the E36 - ugly machine

 

i reckon this model is fookin ugly

 

Can't wait to see the finished product, good luck with the work.

 

looking good Paul

can't wait to see it rolling....

and those wheels look the dogs......

 

Always did like those wheels!

 

BIG LOVE is due to you Doug - for it was YOU who found my needs, and put me in touch with Martin, So that I could hand over many of my hard earned readies

 

Sounds just like what i did in an E30



Project is looking awesome gracey, going to be a fantastic car when its finished

 

Gonna be a cracking little car mate, parts bin was looking a bit full yesterday.

Still think you should have kept the taxi and got a rear beam, but fair play for doing the BMW

Keep the updates coming

 

Sticky - you was loving the wheels was you not

Can't wait to get it done, should be a monster

 

Wheels were rather nice mate, gonna set it off a treat when they are in Anthracite with bright silver paintwork

 

It aint happening that way

 

We'll see

RED is a NO NO

 

Black with more black

 

Gracey, you seemed to have wandered accidently from the "what men do you like" post to the "your bmw" post.......

 

 

I didn't know that either!

Nice to see things are mobing along nicely already though mate, looks like it's gonna be a wicked project, something along the lines of the old Rudd Racing one!

 

BLACK!!

 

 

Gracey Black is

You'll be doing it white next with gold comps

 

OK People, here are a few more pictures of what I've been upto yesterday morning and this morning also

Essentially, stripping the M3 parts down to seperate components, wire-brushing them (angle grinder with wire wheel ) and then giving them a couple of coats of paint



Rear Slip-Diff looking nice and blue






Rear Arms looking nice and black






Front kingpins and suspension legs in nice black




Front and rear calipers in a lovely shade of Blue




Gave the nearly new front discs a going over with the wire wheel also, once again, they looks nice and fresh - Note the front anti-rollbar also




Complete set of polybushes came with the M3 goodies - all as new, and also a set of Goodridge braided brake hoses too







Thats all for the next couple of days, The best bit will start once the shitheap taxi shell has been removed and I can get the BMW into the garage for working on it

 

Been a busy boy

 

yep

Next - modify a cosworth steering rack to fit - i much prefer 2.5 turns lock-lock as opposed to 4

 

King L, Gracie, you don't mess about, do you?

Loving this! Want an E30 myself now after Mongo took me round.

 

excellenmt project im looking forward to this

 

Looking good old boy

 

e36 front and rear axles?
is the mt75 up to it?why not a t5?
and how difficult is it gonna be to get the lump in the bay?reyland gonna do the mounts etc?

 

have you considered the m3 rack as they are also 2.5 lock to lock and i also heard that there is an e36 rack which i think is the 318 is one which is 2.5
they may make fitting a little easier
excellent project really looking forward to the outcome

ps leave the bay red and do the outside black !!

 

Using full E30 m3 running gear - no shit E36 parts on my car.


The M3 rack is LHD - my car is RHD.


Reyland will not be doing the mounts, all will be made in-house at my workshop
