Bought this 316 back at the begining of the summer from Mark on this forum. Its quite a slow project as I dont have to much time to play cars but I know its always there for when I do have the time. So far I have cleaned all the paint work up, fitted 14'' BBS cross spokes. I have some lowering springs to fit to loose that big gap, which should happen in a few weeks. I want to fit a leather interior at some point so I'm allways on the lookout for one, I believe an e30 interior fits with a little fettling? I'll put some more pics up when she's lowered to show the difference.

Looks sweet! Personally I'd put some effort in finding an E21 interior instead and keep things original. Those E30 wheels are a lot easier to change than an interior.

Got some new trinkets to fit



A nice clean 32/36 Progressive Weber carb that came off a 316 that was running sweet and some lowering trinkets in the back drop, soon to be fitted. Does anybody know if its possible, or has anybody managed to fit the original air filter on to a weber, or would it just end up to high?

got these items off of ebay



needs some scews and some nice shiney black paint



thinking of getting this done in gloos blakck before fitting



What do you think



cleaned some of the grime off the engine and bay today

spent the afternoon working off brussel sprouts (in more ways than one) in the garage with 240 rubbing off the white paint





one sheet and a bit of elbow grease later, ready for paint



on Jeroen and lemonayd advice got these original E21recaros to refurb and fit at some point.

love those seats

Me too!!! I've got these in my 323i:



But your upholstery matches better with my back seat

Good luck on your project!

Good job your changing the carb the one it had was absolutely stuffed.

I knew it was stuffed but it still drives, just maybe not as good as it will do

I cleaned the paint a bit when I had this car. (with my hands) it needs a dual action machine polisher cos it was in a right state .. I think someone had sprayed a fence or something near it..

Nas, if you can remember it what would you say was wrong(stuffed) with the carb.

Fitted weber 32/36 yeterday and it runs like a dream





yes pretty boring shots





well every thing fits ontop



and the biggest bonus is the bonnet shuts so no need for the K&N filter set up



front bumper off to offer up the BBS splitter. drill the wholes and to make sure of a good snug fit before spraying

Nice work!

LOOKING GOOD ANY MORE WORK BEEN DONE
