Must be off my rocker but had to have 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.

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.

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

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
