Nooo, this hasn't been abandoned or forgotten :-) For the last 2-3 months its been as a fabricator / engineering shop having its under body rust fixed and chassis re structured. It has since been brought back to the warehouse where it is currently having the last bits of fabrication work done to complete the FULL conversion to Ute status - Eta is end of next month where it will also be send in for paint. Now, its just deciding what to do about the motor. Original plan was for a M62, but the motor is just too long gone. So will be either seeking a replacement M62, or fork out for a S62, or as some have previously suggested, go down the N44 route, so there will be some interesting decisions to be made... Ill get some pics up soon

Due to some recent business start ups and a family member passing away, I may need to consider selling this as I cant see myself heading to the track any time in the near future and its currently just sitting in the warehouse. Im not entirely sure what its worth, so before I list it for sale, it would be good to get an idea of what to ask for - if its less then $5-6K, I might just leave it stored away for a time where I will have time to track it. Sooooo, anyone have an idea of what this is worth?

Hey dude, I might be keen on the below for mine, Tail Lights Complete front grill incl headlight surround GAS pedal - if you can get it removed?

Im sure I see this car near my office on Penrose Rd? Sometimes? Looks pretty coolios

That's cool. Ill send you a PM to arrange banking details etc :-)

How much to ship to Auckland? Ill be keen on this

Will the shocks and hub in yours fit my E28 '82? if so ill take them off you.

Sorry, these are now sold

$450 anyone? Ono? Taking up valuable space in the workshop?

Yep, all 4 centre caps are there. Sure, where abouts down south are you based?

FREE but must be picked up from Meadowbank within the next 5 days or they'll be thrown in the skip

There are 4 wheels and tyres haha but one is in the DD

Hahaha will need to get it tidied up after picking up all the cars today. In a very positive note, it's right across the road from the BM service / parts department on Marua Rd

That's steering wheel needs to go. Retro fit an E46 M3 with Patel shift ? Works awesome in my E39

If they don't sell by Monday, I'll message you and we can work something out ?

Really liking this car, hah let me know how you get on with wiring, that's where im stuck on the rusta

Sorry Lads, been setting up the new workshop / car garage warehouse for all the toys. So now I can finish all the cars together. I thought I added another post about the measurements and photos but clearly not.... tyres are 225/50/R16 Numbers on the rims - RZ 469 BBS - 8Jx16H2 IS 25 Now im pretty sure these are ET20 (20p) as they fit snuggly on the E34 and E28, but they have also been on the E36 without clearance issues, but I only moved the car 10 meters. My brother also had them on his 5 stud converted E30 to get on a trailer and into his garage, but he didn't complain of them not fitting. The wheels are in fairly good nic, but ill get some proper pics up tonight. Pick up after today will be at the new workshop in Ellerslie on Marua Rd

Nice car Kyu. Let me know if you need help with the quad tips, ive already build the set up for the ute :-)

Haha sweet, ill probably have to do the same fairly soon

16" Mesh Meshies with decent tread, approx. 90%. Tyres are Ling-Long Crosswinds Not sure of the offset, but they have been fitted to the following, possibly 20p? E28 E30 (Apparently) E34 E36 I bought them off Ben earlier this year for the Rusta, but have since purchased new wheels for the project. Wanting $550, Pick up Meadowbank

so any e36? Im about to get to the water cooling system for my 28 and need a radiator to fit. I have another one from the 325i but its doesn't quite fit right

Hey man, what radiator did you use? Out of an E36...?

Thanks, now I need to figure out how to get that connected to the E28 fuel lines / tank / pump.

So im looking for some advise on the fuel flow direction of the M62TUB35. I can only see an entry pipe and valve for the fuel rail, but no return line? I thought the return line might have somehow been embedded in the entry line, but I cant see anything.

yes to all the above. Just trying to get my head around the wheel sensors. Canbus will only be connecting the ECU, ABS and LCM. Steering wheel will be melted down to bare metal and will just have a funky looking stereo, so wont need any of that nonsense haha
