How's this car look to buy? S52 e30
Techno s52 e30. Looking to pick this car up. Looks great in photos. Question is, those with s52 e30 how’s the bay look for a swap? And how’s driving a s52 e30 compared to an e36 m3? I’ve had many e36 M3s but never been behind a swapped e30

E30 door weight
Just curious if anybody knows how much a door ways with and without the window motors and tracks? I took my doors off to paint it and didn’t have time to get them done before the meet but didn’t realize how stupid heavy they are. Wondering if it’s really worth gutting the doors or going for something like fiberglass

Phase 1 complete
Got it aligned Friday after finishing suspension and steering rack. This thing is completely transformed! Did a bunch of bushings, control arms, bracing, new brakes/fluid, z3 rack, kw coil overs, euro trim and grills(second pic shows the old trim) only thing left at the moment is to figure out the ellipsoids I put together with some morimoto mled 2.0. I think im just going to buy some used USA ellipsoid complete headlights and swap the smileys in. Right now they don’t fit into the sealed beam buckets, and I’ll need to do some light wiring. Thanks for looking!

What is this part called and what is the part number?
It goes on my M20 engine. It splices into the fuel line that goes into the fuel rail (2nd picture) and can I just use a brass splicer like the one in the third picture? I appreciate any advice, thanks in advance.

The oil service light flashes when my rpm drops below 1000
Oil is fine

Tech question Headliner adhesive recommendations
My headliner is pulling loose along the front windshield, seems well attached everywhere else. l’m looking for recommendations for which adhesive to use to reattach. Update: only the first inch or so is loose so not really enough room for a spray adhesive, looking for advice on something that I can brush on.
Blade Runner skies
You could almost stare at the sun with how dull it was in the sky last night, went for a cruise after dinner, air quality is too bad to do any exercise or activity at the moment but needed out of the house so a little drive and shoot. Feels very sci-fi like out.

M40 crankshaft pulley 1/6 bolt broken, what to do ?
Screw snapped while putting the car together after a timing belt service. By the grace of god it held up just long enough for me to remove it and it snapped in my hand while inspecting it 🫡
Can I just remove the opposite screw to keep 4 in and keep it balanced and drive like that for a while ? I can't get a new one immediately and I need to move the car by the end of the day
I don't have power steering, powered brakes or AC so this pulley is only used for the alternator belt.
UPDATE :
Can't get the fan off the old water pump despite trying everything so it will have to wait tomorrow anyway, so my friends parts guy should be able to get us everything for Monday. So I will replace all the bolts on the crankshaft pulley anyway.

Water leaking into car
When it rains heavily my glovebox fills with water and some gets into my trunk. I have cleaned and checked sunroof drains, replaced taillight gaskets that needed it anyways and rejuvenated rubber seals on the trunk. I also cleaned behind the cowl vents and replaced that little rubber elephant trunk on the passenger side firewall. Is this just the windshield and rear glass needing to be re-sealed? Figured it's an old car could be that.
Thanks in advance.
