Bmw e30 Custom car project X

So at the start im not a big fan of Bmw but had a chance to buy I think a unique example of e30 which I think few years back was a Demo car in Ireland thats needs a little bit of overhaullin ,
So Plan is to do :
- fix the engine (doesnt work at all ) so will try to find and fix issues
if wont be able to fix engine might swap for V8
-Body work needs attention (visible rust spots and few small holes
-Sound system needs to be wired ( I counted so far 8 subwoofers ,8 amps,
tv thats need to be changed, and few other electrical issues that probably will find in a while
-interior needs to be done in some places...
So looks like a good project for lots of sleepless night but might be worth it
All comments more than welcome ;]

Lovely wheels and body!!!,this will be drift car?

will be hard to drift with all that sound system but if i put v8.then more likely will do some track sessions but at the moment have to sort out all issues first then we will see

if you get fed up and decide to break i wouldnt mind the wheels

I heard stories about that BMW that over 12k were spent on its good days but God know is that's true or not, hopefully when will sort out issues will be able to do outdoor concerts and weddings cose bass in it is not massage ur back -its breaking ur spine :-D what i've count so far:8 subs,9 apms,3voltage meters,2extra baterries,miles of wires,,,so should be good when fixed

I heard alot more than 12k dude, more like double that figure...

Heard it was around 25K too.

I'm with Pete though... Flog all the shite on fleebay, replace the engine with a V8 from an E39 M5.
Then put in some decent running gear and bigger wheels since there's so much room with the kit.

Friend of mine has a similiar car. Pretty much same kit and 2.7 turbo engine. Interior is standard but it has savage BBS RSes. Cost a fortune to build but got it cheap as engine isn't great and body needs work now.
