Eva! My Journey With An E36

[k9master]

Got excited by the conversion fact and forgot to comment on the car

I think its a beautiful journey overall Charith and I do envy you. My plan is to start the same journey someday with a E30 or if not a 36 and it's been a plan for a long time. But unexpected issues have been taking it away from me whenever I came close. Hope I could make it a reality at least next year.

All the best.

Actually the 318is path is what im more keen towards right now! And just for kicks I want to Supercharge the thing! Haha, Thanks. Envy all you want but its a hard path as well. But at the end of the day, the smiles these kinda cars give you is invaluable!

Updates! Ordered more parts!! My A Pillar trims kept on falling, common issue with the E36. The A pillars and Glove box have issues. So anws got a pair from UK, will be down in a month or so. And just for kicks, here is a dripping wet shot!

I see someone's left out my tenure with Eva eh? Whilst OctaneHead was globe trotting I was given the privilege of running her around when a air flow meter issue crept up. Despite OH not knowing that his car has an A/C on switch (resulting in me thinking it was broke and sweltering for half a week), I loved the car, and although lacking in power, the car was great fun to drive.

The lack of ABS occasional gave me a fright more than once, (sorry Octane ) but always manged to put a smile on my face, whilst making me a little reluctant to hand the keys back...

Oh, and that air flow meter problem seemed to disappear after a good thrashing

Here's a pic I snapped of her with the family... A potential finacial nightmare captured on film...

Dam I cant imagine how I forgot the Air flow sensor mishap! Ah well now I must ask Esdeez, you thrashed my car? lol

Globe trotting???? I wish I could call it that!

And yes so far the Air flow sensor hasn't given me a problem since Esdeez's little stint with the car. Should leave the car at his house more often when I'm outta the country!

[esdeez]

Yes.... Yes you should....

[Octanehead]

Yes.... Yes you should....

LOL how the smile! You can go pick her up if you want, thing is the brakes are shot!

[bavarian]

[Octanehead]

[Charith H Jayasinghe]

[tuner88]

nice read, enjoyed every bit of it, mouthwatering i must say...

Nice to see her again. Kind of confussed that she is still with you. I could have sworn seeing her advertised on the quick sale website for a few days earlier this year.

[Octanehead]

Could not find a buyer for her for the right price, so decided to keep her
