That's a sad tale, but we all learn from our mistakes...nice motor.
I had a elan +2 back in the 70s but had to sell it to help me buy my first house ( which my ex got.. ! ) I always regretted selling that, but I do love my e30

Allan

Nice little Elise, another favourite of mine

Allan

Totally happy for you, enjoy your car...

Allan

Welcome to the zone, if your going to modify the e30 then I would say go for the lowest mileage and rust free car you can then after driving for a while you will get a feel of what you want from your car , looks, power and handling...... I will warn you e30 s are very addictive and will empty your p...

Nice , I think the wheels look good , as Steve said different to the norm

Allan

Thanks Mart , its my daily driver and love it, my previous bm 's were 525i 1981 vintage and a 1996 e36 touring 328i but this is definitely my favourite body style out of all the beemers ( not quite as reliable though ) ....another picture before i had the hardtop painted

Yeah bottle tops were refurbed before I got it, and the summer mode is the reason I brought the car ,I just love the styling of the 30s especially with the top down........I got the Weismann hard top cos ' this is my winter car as well and after my heater matrix decided to leak last winter I by-pass...

Good luck with the new cluster , hope it all goes well, the only thing I had to do with mine was to swap over the speedo, the mileage on the new one was twice that of my old one ! It was a easy enough job to do, has the cam belt been changed ( in the past 4 years ? ) if not you really could do with ...

I had owned my cabby for just over a year my rev counter packed up, when I took the s1 board out I saw that the batteries had been replaced and when I looked through all the reciepts for the car I found the s1 board had been repaired about 18 months previous to my buying the car ! I soldered new bat...

I don't know where you are in the UK but a quick GOOGLE for e30 cluster repair brought up this:http://www.clusterrepairsuk.co.uk/repai ... ir-service maybe worth a try

I read that it's the foam backing underneath the dash that shrinks with age ( like us all ) that causes the dash to crack don't know how true this

I just bought uniroyals for my 92 cabby and they seem good to me at £ 60.00 a corner fitted and balanced, U.K. Tyers
