Hi guys,
just thought I would post some pics of the new car. its a top bargin. I paid Ԛ£150 for her and she is in ok condition. The only real thing that needs doing is a new gear box and rear axel which I have spare. she came with a full tool kit, m-tech two spoiler, SPARCO strut brace (thats almost worth the money alone!) as well as some mint completely unscuffed alloys (althought not the nicest in the world). the 2.0 baby 6pot runs fine as she has only done 99k!

what you guys think?!

Front end (chrome trim around door that was missing has been put back already)

Image

Rear end and m-tech 2 spoiler

Image

Bonnet... nice strut brace on a Ԛ£150 car

Image

Oh yes... the horrid dials that came with it.. the rev counter and temp gauge didnt work and the dials were badly fitted... oh whats that... Hello spare dials...

Image

After the dials were swapped over! - thats better.. oh and the new wheel from my old car as well... looks alot better.

Image

just needs the stereo.

unfortunately I dont have huge plans for the car. i am just going to tidy her and make her as near to perfect as i can without spending a fortune on her as she is for my brother, so he has a decent car. Tomorrow I have to work out how in the hell I get the gearbox off and change over the rear drums and thats the most of what needs doing. (that and a bloody good polish! hehe)

I hope my bro likes his b'day present, beats a Toyota carina which pinks hands down me thinks!! Just hope he comes to get it quick cos I realllllly like this particular e30, not sure why this one in particular but its got something about it!
