bem-on 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2006 (edited) Well here it is, my first car. It came to me as a silver 84 4-door 320i auto with 4000000 on the clock and 200000 on the m20 2lt. in straight condition and the only factory option on it being the sunroof I bought it off an old mechanic that took good care of it for $1400. After having it for 6 months I decided to do some mods the first on the list was the manual conversion. So i bought a box in the form of an 87 e28 that went a lot better than the e30 and had less on the clock so I thought I might drop the m20 in as well. Next on the list is full respray in gloss black(might put some red metallic flakes in) as well as tech 1 kit (at the mo only have the front). Theres a bunch of other stuff I want to do but this is what im doing at the moment and don’t want to get ahead of myself. Im taking loads of pics as ive just bought a 9mp digital slr. Heres a question, can I use the pedal box from the e28? If not any help to find one for the e30 would be awesome. cheers Edited April 12, 2006 by bem-on Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
