BlowMyWhistle 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2009 Hi Y'all. We've got cars coming out of our ears now! down the drive today we have an e30, jacked up & ready to recieve a new tranny. An e12, waiting for a head job... My old war cruiser the e23, my daily driver the e34... Then today after we've been shopping, wear coming home with 2 e23's an old one 2.8, sacrifice car, head , mags going on the e12. Then were having a lookat an e23 735 witch allegedly is a mintert, just has aleak in the water pump.. & I just happen to have a spare one... There is also 2X e28's in the paper, one's free to a good home, the other's just a few hundred... 'K so that's the intro, cars everywhere... Here's my plan... Make up an awesome e28 out of the old battlecruiser the e23.. The Question; What's interchangeable between these 2 models? Like Eye no the motor etc will fit to make a 535, but watt about all the steering & suspension? Presuming eye can find a nice body e28, I no my 23 has all good suspension etc, but the body's a bit of a roughy, too many close encounters with our old gate. Too many kids borowing dad's car wghen he's working away... Then, what about the old e12, I had a look at it today & it just mite have a 5 speed innit! What about putting all the running gear from the e23 into the e12, can eye match up the big 3-5 engiine in front of the 5 speed e12? watt if it's a 4 speed? Sea, over here in WA were so Isolated, cars are worth alot more, & there's only a finite quantity of Bemers, costs $3k plus to get one over from the eastern seaboard, wear most of the ozzies live... I realise this is a lot of information to decipher, but hell it's winter in NZ, so it's not like use'll be going outside for a few weeks yet!! If anyone can help me out with this I'd appreciate it!!

Nah but I got the pedals etc for an auto conversion!E12 has a 5 speed, not so keen on that slipping away, I got a good motor in the e23, rebuilt 70k's ago. Like to tie that in with the 5 speed...
