Once-In-A-Lifetime Project

I created this thread to illustrate the restoration steps my 1984 E30 323i is undergoing. Each step may not be the best way of doing things, but they're the best I can afford :wink:Those keen to follow the progess of this project, do visit this thread every now and then :top:Wish me luck!

salam bro.. you're right. perhaps if this thread develops the right way, the mods could consider making this sticky. i am actually hoping this to be an indicator, if not a guide, to those keen in restoring old BMWs.

the multiple surgeries begin..

With passion and patient, you’ll surely get there. All the best in your quest mate and im sure the end result will be worthwhile, worth the efforts and worth the $$$ especially when you are doing it the right way. It will be relatively easy for you as you’ve already have something in mind on how she’ll look like after the cosmetic surgery. cheers mate and cant wait to see her once she's recovered.

Get rid of the rust and do the proper under coating.

So what engine are you going to drop into the engine bay?

Slowly, slowly... cant wait to see the final outcome..

Thanks for sharing bro :top: Can't wait to see the result ...

I salute you for taking up an E30 restoration project.

It will be a long road ahead, but one that will be worthwhile when it's done. It doesn't matter what engine is has, a nicely restored E30 with a M20 engine will still turn heads

Cheers

thank you sir.. rust areas will be cut out, welds will be treated with zink coating. most areas will be hammerite on bare metal, before body and paint primers. the M20B23 is being overhauled.. i'm not imaginative here
