work in progress you guys. i am almost about to drop the engine in. just got myself a very clean one owner e30, go check the pictures in the e30 link.
got the singal head lights, alpina wheels, bucket seats....the car gonna look awsome.

here the work still in progress. never have time to work on it. but still doing it till it's done.

i had to order front axle of 323 because of the engine mount will not be made on the 4 cylinder axle.anyway.. the engine is in, if i connect the wires i might be able to fire it with no problem but there is still a lot of work to do.
i will post more pictures of what i am gonna do this week soon. thanks

A friend of mine went to germany and brought back a 7 series turbo like what you have for £500 and took the engine out and bolted in the engine with mounts made up, he done this 4 years ago, i borrowed for 6 weeks whilst he was away in cyprus on holidays, i tell you the car went like shit of a shovel but one thing people just dont think !! you could build anything to go fast which is easy but the builder dont think how to stop the car so i went and got hold of porsche 911 calipers. heavy and large with an X5 servo and the car is like very responsive with braking now.. the calpier upgrade costed £2500 but it was done properly with larger copper and aluminium brakeline pipes and twin braking resovoirs with brake proportion leveling to adjust the force of braking at the front..

You will notice the handling will be shit guranteed!!! unless you uprate your stress bars and rubbers, not forgetting fit coilovers to keep the car on road/track, makes the car feel like its on rail tracks...

well, i've done same car before with the same engine, the only diffrents that in lebanon i had more money to spend, i finished the car faster and i put bigger turbo on it with NOS small bottle but still. i had valve crank and never had to upgrate the brakes. what ypu sayin sounds very nice but not in my budget when i have 5 bmw a mercedes and a grand cherokee in my driveway...maybe i need to clean up soon make some money and then i will conseder some brakes upgrates. thanks for the tips...i will keep that in mind.

Dude, i highly recommend you to fit good set of braking to suit your car`s engine... its good work man keep it up, let us know whats happening so far!!
