[magpie]

[ImysE30]

Looking good Rob

Is it the seal that goes along the top of the windscreen and into the corners?

Cheers chaps.
No, Imy it,s the two parts ( per side) that fit onto the the
door inner edge and at the top of the B pillar. They are held in place with plastic rivets.
Will take a pic tomorrow, as they are pretty hard to describe/explain.

I think i know the parts, just trying to picture them.

Might have them but will wait for the pic.

[gooner1]

Imy, anyone, if you imagine that the door in the pic bellow is open,
you would be able to see them both right at the top of the door and inside the B pillar.

[e30gazza]

I`ve just read through all of this Rob, and fair play to you for pulling the old girl round.
Many would have given up long ago, so good luck to you fella.
Gaz.

[toecutter666]

Any of those evenings after 5 is good for me Rob, just send me a text when you set off and i'll dig some bits out for ya

[gooner1]

Today is the first time the Cab has managed to look half decent.
Not going to bore anybody with old pics, but as close of day and after what has honestly
been a rollercoaster of feelings., heres what she looks like this evening.














Lots of fiddly little jobs to do and parts to find, but i,m within reach of
getting my normal life back. An hour or so of cleaning the interior first thing tomorrow
and it,s ready for the German show, and more pics.
It, been emotional. Very.

[magpie]

Can't believe I've only just stumbled on this thread, but just have to echo the sentiments of pretty much everyone else - an unbelievable ballache from an unbelievable cunt, then some unbelievable fortitude in getting the thing sorted out once and for all. Just read the whole thread, think I'd have given up, not just on this car, not just on e30s, but motors entirely after being shafted like that. Great to see you've got such a great result of a car in the end.

Looked good at Beaulieu this weekend. A few bits to finish off, but coming together nicely Gooner. Good work mate.

[Blitz]

Looks great. Nice ride height.

[gooner1]

Thanks to all for the positive comments.
Done the best part of 500 miles in it this weekend, and my smile grew wider by the mile
The BTB system was in no small way partly responsible for that, the difference in performance
is well worth the cost inmo, and the sound of it, especially when dropped into 3rd gear, is addictive.
Mo, the ride height is 60/40, installed by a P/O. not %100 sure of the setup he used, but it,s
by no means a harsh ride and even with 3 up in it there where no issues. When one of
those 3 was a large lump by the name of Rav, it makes it even more suprising

Really looking forward to getting the side skirts and front and rear valances on it now,
just to finish it off.

Couple of shots from Beaulieu(sic)






What would be the general opinion on smoked indicator lenses and side repeaters ?

[HairyScreech]

is it just my laptop screen or is the door a little different in those pics above?

smoked indicator lenses for definite.

[gooner1]

H,mm, i see what you mean.



Seems to be all the same in this pic though.
Will check tomorrow.

[HairyScreech]

sorry buddy, autistic 5000 vision, cant help but spot things like that.

still looks a little darker in the side shot but oddly enough the disassembled shots earlier in the thread look fine.

its more than likely a trick of the camera, the shade change is probably so subtle to the naked eye and with out knowing about is impossible to spot.

[gooner1]

No need to be sorry Hairy, it,s exactly the kind of detail i need pointing out to me
Having said that, sunlight/shade dependent, the car can look 3 different shades of Red
at the same time.


PS, while i confess to not understanding 9/10 th,s of it, i,m loving your
Head work thread.

[e30topless]

I too saw this at Beaulieu and it's looking great, just the finishing touches and the zender kit and it will be a stunner..

next time, make that fat coont Rav take the bus

[magpie]

where's the German Badge gone

[gooner1]

It,s in me shed, Mick, my Garden shed that is
It will be back.
Steve, spook and I felt it was our duty, to keep Rav away from the unwary
citizens of the S/W coast as much as possible.
Rav, how,s you starter motor mate ?

[Andyboy]

I once had a green car that in the flesh was all one colour. Take a photo and the bootlid was about 3 shades darker.

don't park under street lights.

it's the best way to spot a separately painted panel.
