Thanks for the update mate, can't wait for you to start on the E21! :P

As for the VW's, this is the easiest way to take out the engine:

cool. G40 engine..

I had an abd / gt ebgined mk2 bready id have loved something like that engine you done.


U know you can make your own coilovers for an e21. You buy sleaves from rally design n then weld em on your struts n use mk2 vw rear coilovers.

Time has flown!

Moved across the Pennines to Leeds, got married, bought a house!

Still got the e21. Thinking of selling it as I have too many cars ( 9 now! )

Headgasket has gone on original engine, all complete bar carb which has been removed.

Fitted brand new rpm coilovers, 323i xdrilled grooved brakes, Volvo 4 pots.
Custom exhaust
BMW m3 alcantara/cloth interior
Full m42 engine conversion

Engine rebuild parts for original engine, plus original interior bar passenger seat.

What do you reckon it's worth?
