That's awesome... it would be great to have that opportunity with your dad. My dad is only interested in airplanes... which is fine, but it's what I do for a living.
Power isn't everything, but you should be able to get a decent improvement at least. And the satisfaction of doing it yourself. Lol my E30 is a joke as far as power goes, but I plan on keeping an M10 in it.

Yeah, I've always wanted to rebuild or swap the engine with my dad. He worked on cars for a long time growing up, worked in a machine shop, built bicycles. He's my idol and I think it'd be a great opportunity for us.
The engine isn't anything special, but I'm not looking for horsepower. I just want to have a newer engine with less miles that my dad and I have swapped in to the e28 with our own hands.

[mtm_motors]

i'm liking the sound of that much better

[runningpanda]

So I was offered a 1989 325i engine and an 88 e28 engine for a total $500.
89 has 80k miles.
88 has 170k miles.
So... this may become a project car.
My dad and I have always tossed around the idea of rebuilding the engine, and I think this is a screaming opportunity.

Thanks Krank
Cole, whoever did those zipties was a life saver :P
I've got something in the works... :3

[Bracknaphobia]

Dude whoever did that zip-tie installation was good at it :3

Can't wait to hang out again, she's looking good. Ever decide on a shifter?

[Spencer]

thanks for posting pics dude. Really digging the front end

[runningpanda]

Went out for a shoot today. Bored.















Anyways, hope you enjoy.

Paint is beat on the roof, trunk and hood. I may keep it as my project car, but I could use the couple I can get for it.
I think I'm going to grind my fenders today. Maybe go lower.
This will help the sale.
Thanks, though man. Your e30 touring is sooo perfect.

[slammed-e30]

Looks mint. Why would i sell it

[runningpanda]

Going lower... again... again.
I think a half inch to 3/4 inch in front will do and half inch in back will fit well.

[simsima325]

nice car. sad it has to go.

[Eric the Ricer]

Lovin the new height

[runningpanda]

Hahahahaha, thanks man. It could be lower... but this'll do.
I can't wait for the spring and summer. Hopefully I'll have an easy transition once I get a new car.
