anyone know where to get good mechanic to check my car in ampang area maybe??
and about list-to-do items will be start from here, from the guide of u guys.

Browse this forum - they are people selling E34 stuff ie leather seats, rims, interior, body panels, engine, gbox .. Study first , gauge how much it cost - that will give u some basic ideas on 'how deep is your pockets'.

As for the mechanic - do a search in this forum - it has been discussed and there are some good/bad recommendations. Everybody has their own preference ..

There are 2-3 good shops around Ampang ..

In short - do your homework first before jumping in ..

well, Zacky, no worries. Don't feel embarrased. You are learning and sifu 535i is giving good advice. Join in the gatherings 1st and then seek opinions from them. Also get a good mechanic to begin restoring your car.

If you live in ampang area, you can go to Pandan Indah and look for WP Auto (Albert Fang), heard he is not bad with resonable charge, but i had only changed spring and gear oil there once so cannot comment too much.

no need to be embaressed......at all....you are just seeking for opinion....just do more home work and what is it that u want to achieve.....and its a matter of how thick your wallet is......

Hi Zack7 .............How about YOU tell me what or how you have pictured your ride to look like ....? (I have always asked my E34 Thai members the same when they have asked for my help) Do keep in mind that everyone has different TASTE and view point on things ...... it's imoprtant to bring out " Your TASTE" ....why make your car look like the GUY " Right NEXT to YOU " ..... Lets BRAIN Storm !! you have seen many pics of the E34 that me and other have posted ....which one really stands -out for you and what do you like and Dis like about that car?? And make it more "YOU" ...good luck anyhow ....

hi zack,

if u really wanna convert ur engine, m30 engine should be considered, big cc, plenty of torque, less difficult to maintain, abundant spare parts & halfcut is cheap. i change my waterpump for RM200+ & recently change my gearbox (chop shop) for RM2.5k only...but my engine is in e32 lar..

but may hv difficulty to register w JPJ

M50 & M60(V8) also ok but price & maitenance is on the higher side

cheers..
