Have bought a Subaru Impreza a few months ago and that took all my time. Will start again on my E21 in a few weeks...

Hello everybody. Been verry quiet here a long time. This was because I was building a 525 bhp Subaru Impreza in the mean time...

But yesterday, after a few months work I finally testdrived my BMW E21 S50B30 project!!!
I will post all the pictures I have made in the next posts!

It all started with buying a nice S50B30!
First of all cleaning up the engine!

Sandblasted valve cover and E34 525i sump

Some white paint

some red paint

and a few other colours

In the meanwhile my M20B27 engine was for sale. Sold it to a forum member. Now the real work could begin...
