BMW e30 - shaved bay m50 turbo - super hella stance - UK build

[Mehowski]

I salue you for taking on such a build, I'll be honest I'd be too lazy to rebuild the whole car haha, it'll be well worth the wait too though. You planning on sticking more Alpina goodies on it seeing as you have that lovely spoiler on it already?

Awesome build! Love the shaved bay progress pictures

few updates.


RIpped all the gear apart and sent it away for shotblasting and powdercoating



painted the bay






but not happy with it. maybe 60% happy. the lacquer has run quite bad in a few places. started to try and flat them out, but gave up and have now sanded it all back to try again.



went to some very good friends of mine to get the crank ground and polished. and the block honed.





painted the block



and started the headwork this afternoon



Hard to find time for the car at the moment, all my friends cars are broke and need fixing. start my new job at Porsche monday, girlfriends birthday next week, running out of money etc etc. still pushing for players classic though!

thanks

Just read through all this. Don't stop! You'll regret it as soon as you sell it.

Awesome build! Now keep at it, and get it done!
I'm guessing you're based in the UK somewhere.... If so, I'll shoot it once finished.... Could get it featured for PBMW?

Ha. Yeah im in Redditch in the midlands. Just out of Birmingham. Dude a feature would be insane. Wouldn't have imagined the quality would be feature worthy?

Wow that turbo manifold looks beautiful! Keep up the great work man!

You must finish this. Keep up the god work! Looks amazing.

Deadlines always blow out, mate. Keep at it. You've got great foundations in place.

Quality build you got going on here, i want to do this conversion in my E28 once i finish my V8 E30 build!

awesome job

thanks you!

Gahhhh. This thing is so good. I'm subbing to this!

thanks! i always thought it looked better without the aero stuff. some people loved it though

Finish it you pansy

haha

exhaust update. after nearly ~10 weeks at jc weldfab i have the car back. massively behind schedule, but im pleased with the quality.









ive got so much to do, and so much to spend. players classic is looking unlikely. pretty fed up atm tbh. anyone want to buy an expensive and useless e30?

[iamsilverfox]

just a quick update. its going to be a bit quiet now the e30's gone. it means more time to fix Thooooom's 46
