How a wreck of a few hundred dollars grew into a serious project with a superb result.

Projects are nurtured with utmost love earn is always a thumb up. This E30 was, for example, for just $ 250 on the head are tapped through the American Craigslist. The new owner looked at the sale of the 3-series and found something remarkable. The car from 1991, it was originally delivered in Frankfurt, but it was a US-spec variant. Only in 1996 was the BMW entered in the united States. This indicates that a suspected American, living in Germany, the BMW since purchased, and has travelled, and then bring them back to moving to the United States.

The previous owner is unfortunately not so wisely handled. The 318i was gutted to be transformed to be in a racer. Projects which may be used more than once on an older 3-series. This transformation, however, never came, so the 318i stripped was sold for that paltry $ 250. Luckily, there are still plenty of enthusiasts on this planet and so it came to pass. The E30 was completely rebuilt with original BMW parts. There was chosen for a red coat and as icing on the cake there was a blissful six-in-line in the forepeak. The M54 3.0, linked to a manual zesbak is from an E46. Of this E46 are ultimately, other parts reused for the E30, such as the wheelhouse.

Both the exterior and the interior eye is absolutely immaculate. The costs for the project were partly covered thanks to the various sponsors. (via Jalopnik, images via Photobucket)
