If your engine is being opened up, you should consider looking for a cheapish M52 bottom-end and using the rotating parts to stroke out the displacement.

successful grafting procedure

Im watching your progress closely bro...my E30 is only now being stripped at your favourite mech shop. No choice lah, since rust is like a cancer in at the same places that I see yours...soon I will need to look for a skin grafter joint....keep the pics rolling :top:

i'm glad you decided on a more holistic approach rather than continue addressing symptoms, only to find one new problem after another. you are choosing a road less travelled, but it is the path that will provide a comprehensive approach to ensuring that your E30 be returned to its former glory.. its deserved glory.

good luck zul.. call me anytime.

i'm sending the E46 in for a replacement exhaust-cam sensor; busted it chasing an M3 down Gohtong Jaya

er...some more advise..

Mizhan..

as for the front tower housing, since you are doing it, why not buy the cabriolet tower to fender strengthening piece ? then you wont the strut bar... much better and less movement..

calvin tan sells it...

i forget to ask, what is your plan for the heart? M50?

i must admit i didn't know about that cabriolet part. then again, i didn't know much when i dived in head first into this project. with most of the welding done, i'm afraid it's too late now. besides, i oredi bought a nice & cheap strut bar!

not much imagination here either.. the M20B23 has been overhauled and now waiting patiently for the shell to be ready.
