The scrappy i use doesn't get scrapage cars in, so not normally a issue. they did use to have a couple of ok looking mk1 fiestas in there, by the hut where the staff sit. I used to think about asking if they could be sold whole but never did. years later i get on fairly well with the fella and asked him, he said they were but noone ever asked so they ended up in the main yard. Had a wonder and found the shell of one and it was incredably solid, but had a massive dent on the roof from being in the yard. Went to another local place we don't normally bother with and they had loads of scrapage in, couple of nice looking Jags, very clean escort cab and nice mk2 golf as well as some others. Its a crying shame, I don't get why people think new is always best

Modern wheels? Hell no! It'll be 5 spoke revolutions I hope, or some retro randoms.

Thanks! Thats a big part of what these older cars are all about isn't it? The memories they bring up.

thats a beauty! Be interested to see what power you manage, I was lead to believe you need the 2.7 eta conversion to make 200bhp. Might be worth going to a panel filter in the standard airbox, if this is poss in the e21, as I know a cone filter saps torque big time in the e30 323 / 325s. I'll be watching this, such a wonderful shape these cars

to respond to a few comments: no its not quite standard with the slots no, they came with the car, but its standard other than that. it does need a exhaust also, so might end up with a stainless. I do plan on using it a bit more next summer, this year kinda flew by and just never got a chance to do the bits and bobs on it, I agree cars should be used, i do try to use all mine, but it does sometimes happen that I don't get a chance to use things for a while! I absolutly love the way it drives, and I don't plan on totally mothballing it. Soopahfly: The econobox is my trackcar, I have owned it about 6 years, with a mate of mine. Its awesome fun on track and is not roadlegal. So I will continue to ponce about with it cheers

Technically my mums, she got a TT a few years ago and left this in the garage, in the end we agreed it should live with me. Its a keeper, I will never sell this car. It does split opinions! Its truely a thing of the 80s! Its a 2.8 straight 6, and I have no plans to upgrade it or tune it. TBH its just there to have, its insured for 3000miles a year and I doubt it will ever make it to that. Main reason for dragging it out is it has lots of cool memories for me, mum had a succession of 240s and 260s before this, but this is the one I can remember being taken to school in etc. Condition wise its in very nice nick, it was zebarted from new and was painted about 8 years ago. It has a couple of patchs needing attention, but tbh they will have to get worse before I will do them, as they are really very minor. Its been polished since the pictures were taken, did 302 miles in it last year, none this year though!

Hi, I am newish on here, read the forum for a while, but only just registered. thought I better do a bit about my cars. Will do a thread for each and update them when I do anything to the cars, hope this is ok? Seemed silly to put them in one thread, will get confusing with updates! First up is my BMW 323i, its a 1984 and my latest project. Always wanted one of these, and sold a unfinished project so had the cash and space to finally get one. Its in very nice nick, just a couple of rust spots on the lower rear panel, will take care of these asap. My plans are to give it a good slamming and some nice wheels, thinking of 5 spoke revos at the mo, but keep changing my mind. Interior wise I am not sure if I want it stripped and bucketed, or just a nice sports trim, maybe leather. Also thinking of a engine conversion, but thats a while off! just one rubbish pic for now, till I sort some more!

Hello! Very new member here, and loving the forum. I am the king of unfinished projects sadly, I buy things that need loads doing, or bare shells and never finish them. I always end up selling it all. My problem is I don't buy stuff I can use straight away, so the motivation is never there i reckon. I have made a concious decision the last month or so to change my ways, sold off my latest bare shell and am now looking for a running project. I am also trying to move away from always playing with Fords, trying to broaden my horizons! Wish me luck!
