took the e30 down the street today for its first drive. my adrenalin is still pumping haha. i started my engine rebuild which ended up becoming a complete racecar rebuild in march last year when i picked up my 2.5 engine from a friend put it on the back seat of the e30 and struggled to get it out again. haha. well so far about 4k later and a whole lot of my time. it drives atlast. well did... it wasnt running properly when i took it out. it kinda stalls if it doesnt like the throttle position. so thats a little bit of a balancing act. and it snapped the throttle cable on the way up the driveway. haha typical.....

it had no lights no dash no bonnet no interior exept the seat the steering wheel and the instrument cluster tapet to the steering collum.

still got heaps of work to go but i am getting through it.

this is my first ever attempt of any kind of rebuild or anything. so i thought to hell with it ill just jump in the deep end. so more than anything this car is a biiiiiig learning curve for me.

but to just drive down the road made me feel on top of the world.

will send some pictures as soon as i get a decent pc that wont crash everytime i try haha

Well done, that is a bloody good effort. An engine rebuild is not a simple undertaking.

I laughed at your description of struggling to unload the M20 from the back seat of your car. Dad and I used a van to pick mine up. It took four guys to load it and 2 guys and some science to unload it. They're heavy unweildy things.
