I ran into the same issue with my project car.... The finance company were happy to release the interest on it as long as they got the full proceeds from the sale But to get that to happen I ended up contacting the finance company myself and sorting it all out

It use to be perfectly legal to cut the parcel tray up like that so its kinda one of those issues that the goal posts have been moved and now something that use to be legal is not longer legal

Looks like its going to be just an E46 shell with a E46 rear subframe have spent the last few days cleaning up the engine bay and trying to work out the best way to mount the motor and annoyingly the easiest way to get the motor in there is to convert the front end to S14 Silvia stuff so have dummyed up a Silvia front crossmember and its so close its almost like its ment to just bolt in so very soon the front end will be running a S14 front crossmember, hubs and suspension Have almost finished stripped everything out of the inside of the car and OMG there is a lot of wiring in there pity the price of scrap metal has dropped or Id be making a killing on the scrap copper Plan for paint is gloss black or an arctic white not quite sure yet

Yea I think he thinks the parts are gold plated tho from his prices

Hi everyone Just after some second hand tophats for my car, this is only to keep the shell rolling while it is being built until the stock suspension is replaced with coil overs so Im not bothered what sort of condition they are in Cheers

They are just to get my shell rolling so am wanting to spend as little as possable so dont matter if they are leaky or what just makes it a lot easier to get her in and out of the workshop
-
Hi everyone Am after some E46 struts and springs..... dont care if they are leaky or bent or what just need some to get the car rolling again while I wait for the adjustables to arrive thanks in advance
-
This car will be very far from feral with any plans and from the looks of things should be very nice to slide being that it has a nice long wheel base and will have bucket loads of power

Most of the trim in the boot was a bit scorched from the fire or cut up from the stereo install from the last owner... All the lights etc will be replaced with cheap chinese knock offs mostly due to the fact they are so much cheaper to replace when they get smashed Am very happy tho that the guards are still straight and the bonnet is more or less still fine nothing some bog and a bit of beating cant fix

This was a 1998 318i E46 BMW when it started life..... Then she got a bit toasty and showed up on trademe So she was brought and paid for and the shopping began... New Motor (Nissan VQ30DET) New Box (Z32 300ZX Manual Box) Flywheel and GTR Clutch Pics To Come Link G4 Storm Some 5x120 - 5x114 Wheel Adapters Then off to pick the shell up I went..... and got her back to the shop looking a little less the healthy What remains of the battery
-
email the guys doing my conversion [email protected] were using a 300ZX box plus a few tricks to get it to mate up to the motor

Hi Everyone Am looking for a E46 clutch pedel and maybe master cylinder... or any ideas where I might find one??? Cheers
-
Cool thanks heaps
-
Just a quick question Need to get my shell rolling so it can be moved around the workshop they will later be replaced by coil overs... will any E46 sedan struts fit?
-
The VQ is quite a compac engine which is really good cause it will fit into most engine bays without to much work, the plan is at first to keep it single turbo and maybe mod the stock manifold so that its a high rise but we really dont know till we get the car in the workshop and start mocking things up and see what were like for space, may end up mounting the turbo in front of the motor or going to 2 small turbos dont know yet. The VQ came with an auto box on it so I have the auto bellhousing and all I should need to do to slap that onto a W55 is cut it to the right length and put a plate on the back so that would be easy but they arent the strongest box in the world another option is to just make an adaptor plate and run a VG30DETT box behind it but once again its something we wont know what we can do till we get the car as we are unsure how big the trans tunnel is Im planning on running the VQ using a Link ECU and doing a full rewire of the engine car being a pretty much track dedicated wepon I will be able to ditch a lot of stuff.

It was kinda a plan that has been a long time coming and just fell into place, I did have a C33 project about a year ago that I was building and got the VQ for that but kinda lost interest in that so sold the VQ to a mate who has had it just sitting around so Ive made a deal to get it back off him I have been toying with the idea of building a E36 skid car for a long time, the plan was to get a manual 325i and go from there but saw this and it was dirty cheap so here we are building an E46

Yea should be a fun project and something a bit different from the hords of Skylines and Silvias you see out there drifting.... no videos of me drifting thats the only pic Ive got still waiting for some pics from the last drift day I went to to show up on the net The wreck cost me $500 Its a 318i done 140ks, plates still alive, auto, motor ran well Im told it is missing the seats, suspension, wheels and diff tho diff and I think the from the look of the pics Ive seen it needs a new front screen and front door glass (I havnt seen it in the flesh yet )but its going to be a long term project already have a motor to go in her a VQ30DET Nissan motor just trying to decide on what box to stick behind it a Supra W55 or a VG30DETT Nissan box
