sunroof swap

If you have all the parts, I can be done... how hard it is depends on nothing really. I just picked up a E30 with a crank sunroof, and the BMW mechanic I bought it off of asked me if I wanted him to do the conversion, and I said no, and he said, "okay, well if you decide you want to do it, come on in, I have a car you can take it off of, and then you'll know how to put it back together on the other car". The main thing is that it can be done, and has been done many times before. If you decide to do it, take notes and pics and be sure to post it up here. Good luck!
It is hard work, but very doable. There are just enough differences in the designs to mean some mior fabrication is required - not plug and play and in very confined places. If you've done it before, so know what's involved its not bad, but the first time is a right bitch.
But that's the same with lots of e30 projects though I guess.
The real test is that My neighbour has converted 2 e30's and an e36 from left hand drive to right, and still tells me the sunroof conversion is a difficult project.
Although he also said the e36 left to right conversion was the hardest bmw project he's ever done.
