Well spotted, traded it against a 87' 911 carerra last week....

cheers Lads, hopefully it now drives and handles as good as it looks!

Brief update... Since getting all the bodywork/interior work done I have been getting more and more pissed off with the car not driving/handling like it should...so despite already sinking too much hard-earned into it I decided a few weeks ago I had to sort the suspension somewhat....in for a penny ...

Lovely looking car, good to see another nice nordie e30 here!

Rich

I know we've all seen it about 10 times but hasn't been on in a while...

Very nice indeed! Leather is

looks cool, love the wheels!

I'll take a set please, can you let me know how much for postage to Ireland and I'll do a PayPal...

Cheers

Thanks mate.

I followed the instructions at this link - http://www.noren.com/bmw/e30reset.htm

Worked a treat for me...

Cheers.

No, the seats were bought from another zoner, he had them done in the uk...

I owned that turd about twenty years ago ! I will never forget it . I was driving to work early one morning to get it washed and paedoed ready for the victim who was collecting it at 12. Alas a combination of an icy road , an E12 535 and my distinct lack of talent culminated in me heading for the s...

I'm seeing some one has pleased the painter and read a haynes manual. Why oh why do you agree to have frontwings and the frontvalance painted before they are fitted to the car. And why oh why don't you split the door hinges by just undoing the vertical 1 bolt that hold the 2 hinge halfs together. I...

Cheers for the comments guys, appreciated! Can't wait to get it back on the road! Adi - thanks mate, yours looks mint...pretty early too! Looking forward to getting some of those nice morsels I bought from you onto the car soon! You don't fancy a deal on that map light mirror @ £50 delivered to NI d...

Hi Folks Been lurking for a while so thought it about time I did a bit of a write up on the e30 project I’ve been working on over the winter months. Purchased the car about 18 months ago for my father....a lifelong BMW nut like me! (he’d got a bit of bad news on the health front so wanted to get him...

Items as described, very reasonable price and quick delivery! Spot on!

if there happened to be a tech1 kit on it originally you won't have the clips it will be bolts (likely well rusted on if mine were anything to go by!)

Had a henna red 82' 316 for about a year (sold last summer) Bought off a elderly chap in Chester...he kept it in a carpeted garage all it's life, took it to the local BMW dealer for absolutely everything...so the folder of history/invoices it came with was staggering (totalling around 12k in 20 odd ...

What was the OEM finish on the sills for a chromie - matt black or satin?

Car just about ready for paint and need to know what finish is on the sills from factory (I will be stone-chipping first)?

Cheers

Nice motor Willy My old man had an identical looking motor back in 90/91 (still think it was the best car he ever bought) the reg number was KIB 3919 (sad the things you remember) still have photos of it! We unfortunately wrote it off on holiday in France back in the day ..... Minor collision with a...

Cheers Brian, that's exactly what I was looking for! (no offence intended Kieran!) I will be fitting the full stainless system and btb manifold I bought from Paul (bigdoe) over Xmas so will be doing these jobs at the same time. Slowly but surely getting there & the £££s quickly adding up! 'Resto wri...

Hi Folks Looking for advice on which seals I need to replace... I have an 86 325 (South African) with a factory LSD (not sure what ratio etc) and I noticed the seals on either side (leading to the driveshafts - output seals I think?) are weeping slightly. Any idea how to find out the part number so ...

Nice!

I'm about 2 weeks behind you with my resto....just a lowly 86 325 Baur tho! Not looking like I'm getting it back pre-Xmas though!

Looking forward to seeing the progress here!

if you're dying/re-colouring at all make sure to completely clean/degrease the area first with methylated spirits or similar otherwise the colour rubs or peels off in no time. It's like anything, the results depend on how well you prep the seats beforehand...if you're doing the whole seat defo remov...

great thread!!

Very nice indeed!

Congrats on the motor Roderz, personally I quite like it and as you say...not much chance coming across many more on the road.

Enjoy it mate...
