True dat! very frequent occurance on the fookin bay, had to dish out a few myself. Does appear to be a bit work right enough, although as we all know it would be a walk in the park for a young man of your talents :wink:

Looks like a pile of shite to me an the seller clearly knows very little about cars or more importantly e30's.
I suspect missing out on that may be a good thing so i wouln't lose any sleep over it Josh.

As much as i can get in an ideal world

I really don't see a lot of potential in that car though to be honest and there are a lot of cheap cars about at present.

Fail! 90p it could have been at least £1... Look on the bright side it may have been a turd and would probably cost as much as a minter to put right. Keep a look out i'm sure another will pop up in no time.

Josh looks like you got a lucky escape buddy. For £400 you could get something alot better too. Saying that I can guess you want a project to keep you occupied for a while.

How many cars have you got at the moment now mate?
