Gotheschu

the only thing i removed was the front panel. It wasn't connected to anything. I found all the steel wires that were connected to the sliding knobs were just cabled tied to the front part of the roll cage. and one had snapped anyway.

only air con unit i was trying to get rid of was the one in the picture above the second one down....I know about the demist though =) Yea, almost all the sound deadening out yet thank god. Just need to get the bit under the dash ( hard to reach for me) and the bit under the rear windscreen. =D

Just getting papers ready to send off.. For the E30 series I only need a Clubsport log book right?

3 weeks 3 days to get my car ready for this. Can't wait!!!!

yea. heaps of sound deadening to remove. I just cant get in a good position to get it off. So Imma gonna get someone short to come help =D I'm trapped at home tonight so can't grab the ice but I have the time to do it the hard way =D THANKS david... Ill go give it a go now.

Few photos this morning... Our camera doesn't seem to wanna charge so i've been using my phone's little one. And only works in daylight so just went and got some pics =) So last night I got almost all the sound proofing out. Wish it was done before the cage went in because im pretty tall and was hard to reach a few spots =D Also last night I prepared the dash for the new one but had a problem removing the air conditioning unit. Someone must know how to remove the bugger. Feels really fixed in there... Last thing on my mind is the cluster connectors. I've only found 2 =( missing the yellow. Pretty sure I need another one because at the moment with both white and blue plugged in the revs don't work... and speedo to i guess. Any ideas. I want to try get the cluster in and air con out tonight.

Just getting up to fitting the cluster in... So just 3 connectors white yellow and blue? But anyone know or have any pictures of what to stick in, and where to get the lights working. My first E30 of cause and since half the dash doesn't work kinda hard to figure out how to get everything working =D Hopefully got a warrant by Monday-Tuesday.... EDIT: Just trying finding the yellow connector for the cluster and can't find them anywhere. ( I didn't install the dash back in Chris did. But seems a bit weird? And any ideas on removing the air con unit? Any ideas?

Yea thats it. My terminology is sh*t. My first car project. Ill get there =D

First afternoon working on the car =D. Mainly just tidy up work after draining the water out. But.... Managed to get the seat in but a few small yikcups. I have pretty long legs so the front factory bolts are too far forward.... So I need to drill more. But i got some questions.. Are these the right bolts to use for the back of the seat? Also, its all good to just drill the holes where I need them? Because the current holes have groves in them and I must sound like a drop kick asking this but theres no harm in checking? Next on the list after the seat and harness is getting the dash back in, ( need a WOF asap so basic stuff going on at the moment ) This isn't too hard? Any how to's or project forums where someone has done this =) Dash looks good though =D And heres the video of start up and a little revvs. The accelerator is so hard to push...really need to fix that, but sorry about the lach of revving, ill do another vid later on once the accelerator is better. http://www.youtube.com/user/ebmwautoshop

Battery charging now. =D Engine started first time and sounded great. Vid coming up some time tonight =) Waiting on some things but I'll dummy the seat up tonight. Heaps of pictures coming in a few hours

Guy at a workshop saying the engine might need a new battery or a good charge.... water somehow got in the car with last nights weather so no idea how im gonna get it all out. haha. i love the blue =D Not so much the chrome everywhere...

Lots, lots more coming tomorrow arvo

sorry all fixedPlease resize & repost K done

87 Pre-facelift 320i Headed out West this morning and picked up this beast =D from CageFX ( Chris ) Plan is to finish it as much as I can to get it ready for the BimmerSport Track day. So things to do in detail this time... Find out wtf the engine is doing ( probably real basic ) I think its the battery, but after jump starting it, it dies down and drops out in about 5 seconds. We didn't charge it very long so that might be it but Dad ( who probably just took a guess) thought it might be the fuel mixtures. Can't drive it as it just dies. Dash is pretty much just sitting in with nothing in it, as I want to tidy it up and do a cheap paint of the inside for the first season, then fit the dash and all back in. Tidy up all the wires and crap. Fit the seat and harness in. Gonna head to repco and crap some nuts, to bolt the seat down Get cage paperwork done ( got the big file from Chris with all the sh*t Im gonna struggle to fill in. ) Get WOF Get Koni's in Just a little task or two, fix the bonnet which won't stay up. ( Chris said these are real good cars to learn on so Im keen to do 3/4 of the work ) fix the drivers do lock which seems to be jammed. Pretty basic list I have probably missed out a lot. But sht it sounds great, Felt so good walking away from it with the key. =) Ill get some better photos for you guys tomorrow, had to use my crappy phone camera today =(

Forget the tires are these wheels legal for the E30 Series? They should be right? If they are 15X7?

Yea. Im gonna do a private day with them. Just checking never done a track a day ( have driven on tracks just not a track day if that makes sense)just saw the opportunity to skip them paying heaps for track time.

I'm on track to make it... Just need to sort out a few things on my car, but if i get out there Dad promised he'd take the X5 out there with me so add another one on. Also, might if you guys are ok with it have two motorbikes that are keen....

oh yea. surrrreeeee

Why would it only distract the older ones?

BUMP. What ever happened to this?

+1 only just started going all weird for me

Other post got deleted so heres the new one with photos and all. 145xxxkms, oil and coolant changes every 5000kms by both me and the previous owner dating back to around 2001 when it was imported at 5x,xxx kms Does not come with oil cooler, pod filter, chipped ECU or flywheel. Everything else included ask if unsure. Really want to get rid of this, and need this last bit of cash to be able to pick my race car up this weekend =) Looking for around 400-425 for this. ALSO - got the Getrag 240 which I would give away but need some cash for that too so if anyone wants it PM me but not urgent to get rid of it. Theres the TradeMe link. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.as...313&ed=true
