That's a lucky find!

Love E30 BMWs, I put a 325 lump in my old 320 and turbo'd it running on megasquirt. It was silly quick!

Very very nice car collection you have

Last rusted place













Now it is almost rust free.

I changed glow plugs in 12V preheater. Each glow plug consumes 300W. For testing purposes I used only 2 of 4. Engine needs half time to heat up. It works better than I expected, but I still need some more measurements.

Very interesting modification. I do like it

Hi there,
Nice job you have done there - brilliant
I have a question.
My disco is 3 doors as well and i need to remove side panel to de-rust and weld it. One following from front door to the back of the car.
I have undone all of the bolts and screws but there was no way to move it. I have noticed a resin between metal work. Is it a case of cutting it free from the glue?
Or is there a hidden trick?

Cheers

Yes you need to cut the sealant to remove the external panels, also make sure the upper two screws/bolts are undone too.

Use a heat gun on the glue.. will free it right up

Hi, I'm still alive! But I have absolutely no free time to rebuild my Disco, even to post there.
