E30 m3

Got offered a e30 m3 a few months ago. Decided I had to have it the moment I saw it.
The previous owner bought it ten years ago drove it twice and then set about replacing everything on it . He has done a rhd conversion, put a 3.2 s50 engine with a supercharger on it. There are bills for thousands just on nuts and bolts from BMW . I'd say the car was about ninety per cent complete but sadly he got ill and passed away.
Ive managed to get in touch with a e30 fanatic who is going to finish off this guys work and hopefully turn this into a beautiful car.
i know that the conversions he has done are not to everyone's taste but the amount of work that has gone into this is unbelievable.
give it six weeks and the car should be complete but looks like the supercharger is a no go until maybe next year as it need a custom ecu plus live mapping which is going to break my budget.

BMW porn right there mate. Anymore pics?

Just needs a bit more love.
New wheels ordered gone for bb rs (replicas)17" because its got hi spec brakes
Booked into the spray shop.
Should be up and running soon compression test all good . Needs a different oil cooler but nothing major has turned up yet.
The underneath is like a new car

I always wanted a e30 m3…………….but I've had a m tech 1 325i sport, 325i sport m tech 2 and a 325i d reg cabby

I don't blame you going for that, it's one stunning motor

Cheers 
It will be stunning once done. The guy whose doing the work thinks it will be about 340 bhp once it's done without the supercharger so looking forward to seeing how she goes. About 450 bhp if I get the supercharger done next year but he thinks il be more than happy as it is. 

Wow what a machine, nice :-)

bet that wasnt cheap 

mate thats beautiful, im jealous!

finally got it back from the sprayers.
Getting excited now . my mechanic thinks it should be done in a couple of weeks.

Looks awesome mate. Bet you can't wait for it to be finished.

Good lord i think i just did a man wee        

Cars back from the sprayers after what was months. Have have to order some specialist parts. Had to get the brake disks trimmed down by 5mm ( just too big 360 mm). Quite a few parts that are no longer available but the guy whose been doing the work has loads of contacts.
Engine got started up yesterday for the first time sounded absolutely amazing. Hoping to be all finished in three weeks.(this time I hope he means it lol)





So happy with the way it's coming along. Can honestly say though that the golf is going to put up a fight especially as I've just put some new wheels on her . She is looking awesome as well

Ordered the rest of the wheels today after all the problems caused by the brakes. Had to get specialist spacers made

I can't wait to find out. The guy that's doing has developed his own abs / traction system so once I've saved up a bit I'm going to get that fitted as well

Hopefully getting near the finishing line .
Mot on Saturday at bmw . Got her new kumhos on looking the part now .




Can't wait to see it once all the spoilers and front bumper  back on
Fingers crossed for Saturday
