E30 BMW | Ground up build of my V8 converted E30 | Show/Street driven car | Part 1 

Wow, thanks for the great comment mate. I'm glad you like it.

Lol! You just read my mind on 2 👍

Thank you Sir🙏

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks mate. I'll check yours out. Cheers

Thanks very much mate. Glad you liked it.

Thanks mate. Appreciate the comment

@@e30-bloodsweatyears84 getting harder to source clean parts in nz now aye, I'm doing an m54 swap at the mo but I can see it stalling

Thank you very much.🙏

Thank you very much 🙏 Yes more episodes to come yet so make sure you've subscribed 👍

Thanks Paul, much appreciated😊

Hi mate, the headers were custom made. There is nothing that fits in a right hand drive car, or at least not at the time I built this. Thanks for the comment.

Thank you 🙏 and yes there are more videos coming soon 👍

My setup is all out of a e36 compact which comes out with 5 lug setup. You also need to get post 1995 e36 me lower control arms and something like SRS Concept or Treehouse lower control arm bushes to replace the stock lollipop bushes.

Hi mate, no I don't run air con. Just not enough room for what I was trying to achieve.

It's a custom candy colour I made up. Yes, it looks awesome in the sun too. Cheers.

Hi mate, yes I had to hammer up the trans tunnel quite a bit but mainly widen it so I can get the trans out without pulling the motor each time. That said, mine is a 5 speed so may even be smaller than your 6 speed. As you would know, they do put the 6 speed trans in them but I'm just not sure what is required. Thanks for the nice comment.

@@e30-bloodsweatyears84 Might be true that 6-speed is bigger. Cant wait to see your project ready. Keep up the great work!

Thank you🙏 I'm taking it to car shows now and it's doing very well. I need to get back to doing the rest of the build videos though.

Hi Victor, my headers were custom made. If you are lefthand drive I know you can purchase sets on line. They just don't make them for righthand drive cars to my knowledge.

Thanks so much Freddie. So sorry for the late reply, I've been flat out getting the car ready for it's first show which was last weekend. Won best Import and Runner up best interior. I honestly can't remember which radiator I used. It may have been an e36 after market radiator?? I have a 5 speed as well and I run a 4 clutch, 3.15 ratio with 45/45 degree ramping.

Steering rack change was only to have less turns lock to lock. That said, I did need to change the steering column knuckle setup to a barina one to gain some more clearance room for custom made headers (right hand drive car).

@@e30-bloodsweatyears84 Copy that, beautiful build. I'm really considering this swap, it's just truly next level.

Do it. I've found nothing is impossible if you set your mind to it. For me it took a fair bit of time because I had to save up money each time I wanted to do something, plus I was not paying anyone to do it. Make a plan, get stuck in, allow the time and you'll do it.

No it doesn't leak any oil, it's a rebuilt engine. Yes totally worth it.
