westy 614 Report post Posted April 15, 2014 How do I explain, not sure I can ha. First up, doesn't matter if it stays. I have a 540 here, with good engine to go into it. Which I will just continue on getting ready for it. It'll go into this or something else. Which brings me to the next part, too many ideas and no where near enough time/money/space. Also, first big car project I've managed to bring to completion so somehow I'm less than enthusiastic about pulling it to bits again (something I'll get over shurly). And other senseless ramblings...

SRBMW 6 Report post Posted April 15, 2014 too many ideas and no where near enough time/money/space. Do you think this is a treatable condition? I seem to suffer from the same thing. Always moving things around to find more space for more projects with less time to complete them!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
westy 614 Report post Posted April 15, 2014 looks of a E30 with the refinement of a e46? Not so much refinement, bit too much of a racket for that. Definitely goes where it's pointed though. Do you think this is a treatable condition? I seem to suffer from the same thing. Always moving things around to find more space for more projects with less time to complete them!! No. I used to think maybe it was but no longer... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sascha 17 Report post Posted April 15, 2014 Man, I remember reading your project thread in awe back in 2009 when you started this. Very jealous of the next owner. Good luck with the sale! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sonic_attack 89 Report post Posted June 6, 2014 Wow. Pretty serious refinements, nice work in completing that. Be interesting to see if the value is recognised. Now is the time to buy these e30's as they're pretty plentiful and cheap for a tidy classic. It must drive amazing! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
