E30 Zone

So true about parking spaces and fitting in garage!
Nice garage pic.

Mine doesn't work either!

Outstanding work Paul

Il be having a few words when I finally find out who did the work. Just does me how they could balls up such a simple task. Agree, maybe you should point him to the zone too!!! Plenty of good advice here for him and maybe he won't cock up the next E30 he "services". It wasn't the owner who did the ...

Mine only does that, when I shut the glove box too hard!

Hello and welcome

Merry Christmas all!!

Nice work Paul

Hello and welcome.
Would be nice to see some pictures of the car

Have a look at this thread, might be useful, as the repairs to the roof have been done.

A snapped alternator belt it is. Thanks all for your help - much appreciated. It gave me a starting place to look.

Thanks for updating, may help someone else in the future

Hope the pics give you some idea. As mentioned it's not perfect but it ain't bad (i m o!) and better than the cracking. Hopefully the 'stop holes' drilled either end of the cracks before filling should help... Fair play, looks good! Might give this a go myself, but on on endless list of things I ha...

Well it's b***** cold at the moment in my garage! The heat is at best a few months away. So I can't tell how it will bear up in summer. As always I live in hope. I have taken a photo but don't know how to place it on this forum. Sorry but I haven't any before pics. Lengths of the cracks are above. ...

Nice idea. It will be interesting to see how the plastic dip works over time, with cold and hot fluctuations.

Do you have any before and after pictures?

Hello and welcome.

Agree with Mart.....pics and more pics

That’s brilliant guys. Thank you for the advice. As I’ve taken her off road over winter and have the garage space I may well give that a go. I’ll be back on when I get stuck

Good to hear and remember there's plenty of advice and support on here

As above, fantastic advice from Paultv above. For me, half the pleasure of owning an E30 is being able to repair it myself :cool: Welcome to the forum :bmw: +1 I was weary about doing similar jobs myself, but it's sooooo satisfying. I've also done the slave and master cylinder. Pretty straight forw...

Hi all, nice to join the E30 club!
I was just wondering if anyone daily's their E30, and if so, is this any good for the cars? In terms of rusting when driving in all weathers.

Hello a welcome

I use mine every day,I suppose if you leave it in a heated garage through the winter it will last longer but why not use it and enjoy it.

Agree!
I use mine daily as well. Just regularly inspect the under side and keep on top of any rust issues.

Haha! Outstanding!!

I think this is going to be my favourite thread!!!

Is it too early to put the Christmas banners up?

YES!
Maybe 12 days before Christmas?

Needs a Hoover inside but that's nowt to worry about.

Safe to say I'm happy with the car,

Will try to get some pics up when it stops raining.

Excellent! Looking forward to seeing some pics!

Really nice pictures!
