Cheers dave.
Hopefully shouldn't need much else. Just wish my motor was as clean as yours..it's the same colour but with a few rusty marks!

Hi
Yep should of thought, any 325i bay will do!

Area I need most is under the inlet manifold. The routing of wires and pipes etc.
Definately learnt a lesson....should have taken photos as I took the car apart!

Hi everyone I'm rebuilding the top end on my 89 325i sport, and hopefully this weekend I want to put the rest of the engine back too. Only problem is it's been a year since I took everything out! I did label everything up but cant remember where some parts go!!! :oops: Would anybody be kind enough w...

Hi Been looking over my F reg 325i sport very closely today ready to start the restore. However after stripping interior and boot out, i've found that both the rear inner wings are shot, especially the off-side. I stuck my finger through it!!! What would be the best way to repair? Is it a real pain?...

Hi Guys I'm down in folkestone not far away from ya. I'd love to come along to the lakeside meet except that my 325i sport's engine is in my shed, and the car is sitting on my dads drive 30 miles away!!! Going to be a while before it's back on the road too, as I'm doing a total restoration, and I'm ...

Hi dude - could well have been me, been known to hoon along the A20 lol I have not seen any of their work as the car he had the work done on he has now sold, but he said they were pretty good. You are right about the lack of E30s round here for sure, I have put an E30 zone flyer on every car I have...

I'm located in kent so if anyones from down here can you recommend a good bodyshop? Thanks in advance! :D Simon Hello neighbour..! :cool: I have had Penfold Panels recommended to me by a guy who works at my place who is extremely fussy about everything, including his cars... Not sure if you know an...

[quote="Gwynleym10"]Has anyone ever done the prep themselves?, then just got it resprayed? If you have the time its not that skilled if you have a good eye. quote] Not yet, but I'm going to start once I have stripped the car further! I'm still looking into the best way to do it, but I've heard that ...

Ԛ£7k...ouch!! thanks for the advise, definately won't go to a main dealer after reading that previous thread!! I am hoping to spend Ԛ£2000 max, so hopefully will get a decent job. I've watched wheeler dealers so I can prep the car myself :lol: On a totally different note, they never take t...

Well if it helps ease the pain, I rescued a sport recently from a chav! Luckily he hadn't installed too much bling blong! I'm currently stripping and replacing all the parts to get it back to original condition. Perhaps we should start a national society against cruelty to E30's :lol: I had similar...

Hi Everyone Hope you can help, first of all like to say hello to everyone, as I haven't been on the site long! Im currently restoring my 89 325i sport in dolphin grey. Got the car for a good price, but am aiming to make the car as mint as my wallet will allow! I'm sorting out all the mechanical bits...

Hi First of all must say this site is absolutely brilliant!! Just brought an 89 dolphin grey 325i sport. Needs some TLC, but a very tidy square car. However when idling, if I touch the throttle slightly, the car trys to stall before revving? I'm going to strip the engine head down anyway (with the h...
