Re: just rescued another e30 from car heaven.

[quote="Brianmoooore"]Most E30's (along with most other cars on the road) are one wheel drive. You need a limited slip differential if you want two wheel drive /quote]

Re: From pink to red

sorry, i was being sarcy. Im with the other guys. Mop and G3 followed by wax and sealant. Reds a siht colour for fading imo. If you buff it and leave it it will be pink again in a matter of weeks. Get it sealed. Try autosmarts silver seal product for example.
