Thought I'd update this again, have started to strip the replacement e35 and am very happy with the current condition of it compared to my old one.
I've hit a bit of a cross road though.....Basically I plan on doing a full rebuild like paint, interior, new dash etc and I've seen a 3sge beams package with 6 spd box for under 3k, do you guys think it's worth doing that. I mean it's a fairly broad question and I know alot of people ask this type of question all the time, I don't mind spending a little bit of money and can do all the mechanical work myself. Apart from specialist things like machining parts and what not.
So should I Beams it up or should I stick with the worked 5k for now (haven't driven it yet so don't know what the powers like).
P.s. I know what's involved, as in diff upgrade, brakes, suspension and so on.
Cheers
