    Replacement Floor Pans

    Floor pans? You can get those from the dealer? I didn't think there is such a thing. Can't you just cut out the rust and fill it in by riviting in some new sheet metal?

    Newbie thinking of buying E30

    Suspension (shocks) should be easy enough to tackle, especially the rear, and will tighten up the ride right away. Any E30 that you buy now-a-days is going to need a fair bit of looking after. Timing belt, coolant flush, new hoses and belts, and it'll probably need a valve adjustment.

    sunroof rust removal (pictures inside)

    Nice [hihi] That's way too much... Are they selling you a new window to go with that? Try going to a windshield replacement shop, they should be able to get you one for a fraction of that price.

    engine swap

    When you think about turbo charging, think about how much $ you're going to spend. The Turbo itself, the exhaust headers, the fuel injectors, the intercooler... etc... If you want a decent bang for your buck, do some Schrick Cams, Chip it (Dinan, AC Shcnitzer, Alpina, Turner MS, etc.)...

    Help with Engine removal

    I found it very easy to pull the engine with the auto tranny attached. Too much of a pain to undo the bolts around the bell housing. I just undid three of the bolts that hold the driveshaft to the guibo/back of the tranny. Was a fairly easy job. I did it when I was 25 years old, and it was a...

    engine swap

    I swapped an '86 2.7L for another '86 2.7L. Worked well. I would either turbo your own engine, or at least put on a multi-throttle intake. Can you really afford to spend time trying to match up a garbage SRT engine to a RWD Bimmer? What would be the overall gain?

    Shifter question

    If it's anything like a 325e, the shift tower mounts are broken, or the rubber in them has failed, and the lower shifter pivot is worn out completely. You'll know for sure what the problem is once you get under the car... it's pretty easy to fix.

    I've got no cracks in mine, but my last E30 had 3 going all the way through. the one before that had 4 cracks but two of them met up half way:) 6 makes you the champ I think, Joseph.

    sunroof rust removal (pictures inside)

    The engine looks nice and tidy, and the body doesn't look too bad at all. I think the best thing you could do next to improve the appearance would be to replace the old front window seal. Would make it look 10 years newer. I just took my window washer fluid reservoir out and gave it a...

    Targa Tops

    A 325ic is a factory convertible, a Baur Conversion is just that, it's a conversion on a hardtop done by Baur (not BMW) to basically give you a removable sunroof, and removable rear window right over to the C pillar. You won't find this as an aftermarket, and in North America, you'll be hard...

    I remember having one of those... my Bimmer Beater.... jump it through intersections, through snow banks, 150kph on gravel, daily repairs and fluid top ups, missing 3rd gear sometimes!!! Great times!! Slap some Alpina rims on that baby and it'll be smokin'! How many cracks in your dashboard?

    Do you mean a Baur Conversion? a new cloth top? a hard top for winter?

    With Or Without?

    I say leave it on, but paint it the colour of the body.
