Sleepy where abouts are you?

I would just like to clarify that the 'repairs' done on the rear quarters were nothing to do with me ! :) That needs inner arches , full quarters and major bulkhead repairs for starters. The rear panel, boot pockets, front floors , A posts and sills will be fooked as well. If you are lucky, the roo...

If you want an E30 without "jobs to do" then you have to dig deep in the pocket!!

Paid £250 for mine with a month of mot and tax but i bought it to restore and not a daily driver, will be my toy when its done, got an M30 engine conversion sat there waiting for when the bodywork is finished

Had it in my garage 2 yrs before i even started on it

I suppose a lot of it depends on how much you are able to do yourself these days, im just doing one myself and when i think i have just welded up the last hole i take something else off and uncover some more!!! Im have no time scale, am stripping back to bare shell and rebuilding it, not bothered if...

Until you strip it all out you won't find all the rot, surprising what's hidden, when you clean a small hole up back to good metal for welding a 5p size hole becomes the size of a tennis ball quite often, but stick with it mate, will be a nice car when done, too many of them are being broken up and ...

I will strip all the boot out and the rear seats so i can have a proper look

Will strip it all out and have a better look, was trying to get all the front finished first but i will have a good look, thanx guys, it would break my heart to scrap it, ive had it 3 yrs and being doing bits on it and gathering all the bits i need for the conversion

Really? Any idea how much they are? So far i have welded up the passengers footwell and floor and done a lot of work on it, got an M30 all ready sat there waiting for it, then i cam across this

Came across rot in both inner rear wheel arches on my E30 yesterday, car looks mint from the outside everywhere, can this be sorted or is it weigh in time? Am gutted, i had big plans for this car, any help would be much appreciated

will hold on to the manual box but thanks anyway.

thanks for the help guys

Hi, i am just going to start my conversion, my E30 is a 2.0 auto, the engine and box is an M30 with a manual box, i would prefer auto, can the 2.0 box be used or will i need an E34 auto box? and will the E34 auto box fit in the E30 tunnel? thanks.

i will come

see you all there
