i dont know if i should get the car back on the road or get rid. my problem is at the moment iv not got the time or the money tbh. i save the cash up for the much needed welder and then either iv not got enough or something at home goes wrong and needs money spending on, and we all know family have to come first, im pulling my hair out now. and it upsets me seeing it sat there doing nothing. would it be worth fragging it?

have you got another car mate? if you have and the e30 is your 2nd car, i would say sell it, and later on when things are better, get another one which doesnt need the work doing to it !

yeah iv a lucida to get the family in and a master minibus so i sorted for another set of wheels to use.

as for the work that needs doing here is a small insight to a few of the bits

the high pitched scream is sorted the engine runs mint now
then there is the badly faded paint work. its had everything done to it and its never going to be red again without a respray
and apart from the bits of welding im not sure what else it would need for mot
so at the end of it all it could be cheaper to cut my ties now and have done with it

if the kits plastic get it on ebay, it should raise a bit of cash to get the car moving along.
