Hey all am new round here. Hows every one?

Just bought my self a 89 2 door 316 through my work and cant wait to get behind the wheel. Ive allways liked the e30 and now am so happy to own one!

I paid £400 for the car, it got 50k on the clock, 12 months mot and rust free is this a good price you think?

Al get some pics up as soon as i get it home and all shined up :D

Lee.

That by the sound of things is a bargain! As said, the perfect base for an engine conversion at a later date.
