not real retro . . but anyway . .
a while ago I bought this Touring with a blown engine as a donor car for my 540i . . . sadly (and stupidly on my part for not checking) it has the "wrong" red . . the 40 is "Hellrot" . . and the 20 is "Brillantrot" . . so it was sitting in front of my workshop for quite a while now . .
the equipment it came with is close to none . . so there's no use in parting it out . . but on the plus side it has a very good almost rustfree body (not easy to find anymore . .) . .

two weeks ago I decided to do something with it . . as if I didn't have enough "started" projects ;D
anyway . . every spring me and a few friends drive to France to get a little wild on a privately owned hillclimb racetrack in the alps . . sadly for some stupid reason there's a 3l displacement maximum . . . so I decided to build me a family-stationwagon-hillclimb-racer . . .
sure there would be 100's of better cars to start with then a E34 station wagon. . but that would just be too easy
. . .
first of all, the ugly grey interior had to go . .
I started looking for a doner-car for the engine to replace the sad 2l M50 which has a broken timing chain . .
found it!! ;D
this is it . . (nope . . not the Alfa . .)
aaah . . sweet S50B30 . . . ;D . .
sitting nicely in the E34 engine bay!
