E30 Zone

Just noticed your in Oz. Will ask a mate what company he uses

Yeah its good for cleaning certain metals and just eats others. I've used it on fd's, flywheels and gear sets.

However, due to it eating a carb I prefer bilt-hamber http://www.bilthamber.com/deoxc.html myself.

More expensive but works very well

Looking at your pic I would go for fk1000p for the alloys, you could use that instead of the carlack68 but you would be better using a paint cleaner before the fk1000p just to get the best prep for the wax.

carlack 68.

its a chemical cleaner as well as a sealant and 1 layer should see at least 3 months.

i would do 1 layer one week then follow with another layer a week later to make sure all bits covered then use a decent shampoo to keep it clean.

Lion Poo works, however I have 3 English Bull Terriers and no cat comes in the garden (or if they do its when the dogs are fast asleep haha)

Glass Polish And Glass Cleaner are different things. Use the Polish for a "deep" clean, just not too much of it because the more you use the more dust you create. Nice and light and follow with an MF (I use the cheap screwfix ones). For weekly/daily use, use a glass cleaner, I am using Espuma Crysta...

I just bought dirt cheap ones to save the orginal ones and sprayed them with lidl w5 fabric protectant.

If you get the chance a chat with the autoglym or autosmart rep and get their apc (cleanall for autoglym and g101 for autosmart) and dilution ratio 30:1 in a free bottle they will give you. Use with a stiff sponge (the rep will sell you one of those as well) and that will lift the grime. If its real...

Not a problem

It was entertaining to say the least.

Done, no damage other than to me

cheers, just reading it now

Ok, so how do you remove the dash without damage?

Its got no damage at the moment and I dont really want to damage it either.

fishing line.

follow with tar & glue.

Glyn http://www.elitedetailer.co.uk/specialistdetailing.htm Teaches at swissvax, he will do a fantastic job, have seen his work. I have just had Glyn attend to my car today on the basis of this recommendation. He's done a fantastic job. Not cheap but well, well worth it. Nice bloke and offered some...

seal feed by swissvax, not the cheapest but (did) a really good job on mine.

fk1000p massive tin, ideal for car and alloys.

Shouldnt leave trade plates on show, just asking for trouble.

I like the front bumper.

DuPont at work (I grab the 1/2 or 1/4 cans left over for home use)

Dont suppose you fancy driving to manchester lol

So who has stuck vinyl to their e30?

Tips?

bet its not cheap.

1993 Touring.

Front and Rear.

Just need to know the sizes to order some bushes.

Looking for prices on the following please:

Pair of E30 rear beam bushes (33311129144)

Eccentric Trailing arm bushes (33329058822)

Pair of E46 M3 Cab top shock mounts (33526754096)

Just sorting prices for oe bushes, surprised no trader offers em as a pack yet

Its not the self tappers, its the metal clips for the grille (clamp 51 13 1872146) and a few of the plastic trim clips etc for the interior.

For self tappers its cheaper to go to b&q and get s/s packs.

Looking at bmminiparts and its cheaper than dealer for what i want

any tar&glue will do, follow with a glass polish.

It will have mdf covered with carpet when dogs are in the back, removed when they arnt.

Dont really want the dogs dancin on the sub.

(any links etc to pics etc of it being done)

My car is old (arnt they all) and needs a fair few clips and screws replacing, some due to them being so rusty as to be beyond saving and some are missing. Is it easier to get from the dealers or is their a trader/shop on here that will stock them all? (kidney grille clips, dashboard clips, various ...

Oh come on, that was funny!

I drive vigorously, however my partner dosnt.

Just looking for best bushes, springs, dampers and similar.

Budget is £300 (not inc fitting)

nah just sticking local.

to late i gather?

Right, got round to actually doing something to the tourer, replaced the seats with ones without holes/rips in them, and fingers crossed should have it insured this month. So what upgrades/mods should I be looking at doing? Its a dog carrier not an daily driver/track car, but I do like my cars to go...

So I have a plan for a sub in the tourer. Spare wheel well. Remove spare wheel (keep in shed, use tyre foam if need be) and take a grp mould from the wheel well. Build this up so its nice and thick, flat mdf bonded (with grp) but with holes cut for the sub and vent(s) and then glue on some black (gr...

Yes I have a load cover, but the dog prefers to see out haha
