indeed i shale try to take as many photos as i can along the way! thats the thing its ended up where I'm at a stage where i was it was just a case of buying and bolting on haha! oh how that would be easy, but a new welding mask was purchased this morning so fingers crossed the weekend will be her fi...

in all fairness its not the worst rust, the seals need patches maybe 6-10 inches long each and inner rear wings iv got new wings for the front so there not a problem. Theres a little patch on the back panel but all the boot floor is solid still and everywhere else is good! iv got all the back suspen...

reading through this to try and get my motivation back also!! mine was my second car! i was 18 when i bought it but have since neglected her she's been sat in the front garden for 3 years now i drove her for half a year and then parked her up for some minor repairs and well it escalated from there! ...

hit a wall the size of a planet!! need some photos of people cars for motivation I'm mid way through restoring/tackling/attacking the rust on my IS and its just not going anywhere lol! i will get photos to follow its not as bad as i thought it was going to be which is where the motivation loss has c...

The car will need to be road legal yeah! We'll spending money is a tough one not a stupid amount but will want to do things properly and no corners cut??

ahhh cool man yeah il be interested in the manifolds and exhausts!!! have you got a figure in mind?

E36 rack sorry haha

Hi mate just looked at your build I'm currently putting the 3.0 v8 in a convertible e30 I had lying about and struggling with manifolds have you still got yours for sale. Very interested? And did you put the e34 steering rack on there or stick with the e30 one?

right iv spent the last 3 nights hopelessly trolling through the forums looking at what mods and swaps would be the easiest for big gains and still have come up trumps ever I'm not looking hard enough... probably or its just to far back that i haven't found it! any way on to the fun stuff iv got a 9...

Dan what coil overs are they gaz golds? Or the cheaper ones?

Yes! Iv got if I remember 20mm spacers on the front and had to go for quite stretched tyres to stop rubbing badly but even with the spacers and 195 50 15 on original wheels it's still not that good!!

I no lots of you probably don't enjoy this topic but I baught apparent custom coilovers from gaz took them about a month to do and yet the camber all seams to be odd has anyone used them before and had problems?

Cheers guys!!

Is this a simple task or tricky? Will performance change a lot?

cheers dude

cheers fella will i have to uprate anything apart from the ecu and manifold?

just wondering how hard it is going to be to locate a turbo exhaust and inlet manifold for the m42 thinking of turboing her in the long run... ??

cheers

i could always go maximum chump style and stick a good arsenal badge in the cheeky triangle would look sad as **** but would save me bodging her up lol il have to see what they guy is willing to take for the wheels gota admit there little differnt and for some reason i really like em lol

got to admit the picture youv posted arent very nice haha what ya reckon about them ones on ebay i like em but im worryed about the centre caps ??

sweet cheers dude :) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RARE-BORBET-B-ALLOY-WHEELS-DEEP-DISH-7-5x16-4x100-/320758557602?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Rims_Car_Wheels_ET&hash=item4aaeb32ba2 dont supose you'll no if these are actually borbet b's and do you reckon they will look allright on a e30 need to fond...

i found a set of borbet bs on ebay but not quite sure if they actualy are because there is another add with differnt wheels claiming to be borbet b can anyone help me with these wheels and am i aloud to put a like to a ebay add on here?? cheers

will they fit without poking out the archs or rubbing the wing ???
cheers guys

cheers fella brought some 10 mm spacers today got them on but hard locating the wheels central the spacers are sitting them off the middle ring that locates them :/ got her looking lower thou

she's getting there lol

iv got a 318is and iv just had some coiliovers done by gaz and i fitted them tonight but it seams i cant go low on the front because the adjuster on the bottom of the spring and most probably the spring rub on my tyres iv got standard bbs bmw wheels on there that are 15 any one no why this is happen...

they are awesome wheels iv just found some banded steels that are 10 j front and 11 j rear im so tempted haha

yeah they have been made there on ebay atm tyres are allready on them i was just wondering i think the offset is -9 is that going to be a huge problem and i heard something about old golf archs the plastic 1s being ok on e30 archs for extra width do you no if this is true or not?

CHeers tony
