For sale or Swap - I'm a new dad and want to be able to enjoy a classic with the family, less race car - more dad cruiser!
Fresh MOT 11/05/2018, passed fine - only advisories were slight play in steering rack and minor corrosion to wings.
About the car...
Before I owned this car it spent most of it's life with only two previous owners, with the last owner from 1998 till 2016! It was clearly loved and has only developed the usual bottom of door / wings surface rust. As confirmed by the latest MOT's.
Once purchased I had this custom built as a street sleeper, so this is the spec that we worked to when I had it commissioned:
Originally a BMW E30 318 manual touring Mauritius blue. I had it converted with all the gear from an E36 328 sport.
Parts for conversion consisted of:
Full mot with bodywork defects taken care of; bonnet, boot lid and drivers wing.
M52B28 engine + corresponding gearbox / running gear (all from E36 328 sport)
M50 Manifold for increased airflow.
E34 M50 sump
E28 M535 engine mounts
M20 325 rear coolant hose
E34 M50 throttle cable
Chipped appropriately
Custom loom for super neat install
Uprated radiator with manual switch
These are just some of the main components
Over the next year I then also had added:
Uprated brake servo (Clio mod)
5 stud conversion on the rear
Polybushed rear end
Full stainless exhaust.
The engine also received a full service including a metal impeller water pump.
The whole engine install is super neat.
Only things on my list to finish it up were:
Front 5 stud conversion
Suspension all round
Put a sport interior in to replace the tatty standard spec one
Diff - I like the rapid acceleration it provides as it, but would be good to replace if you're doing longer journeys.
Total paint job if I was trying to be perfect!
Cash - I'm looking for offers around £5000 - a good touring is 2-3k these days, plus all the bits would total well above what I'm asking for, let alone labour so I think it's a fair price. I'm open to offers of course.
Swap - would be for something non-modified, interesting and pre-92 ideally. W123/W115 Mercedes, datsun cedric, E28 BMW or similar. Something more for cruising than racing ideally.
