E30 Zone

Chaps,

Been offered an F reg manual 318 moredoor from the local Indy for £200

Needs a o/s front door and wing as someone hit it in the local supermarket!

I think it's cirrus blue (blue grey colour?) and quite tidy for a 4 door.

Lots of service history, one owner from new and serviced regular from the same garage now selling it!

Very original inside and no real rips on the seats, all electric windows, man sunroof and man gearbox

No rush on scuttle, inside rear arches look good (flakey on outside) and front arches are good

Got a tow bar (which I'll sell!) and AC shnitzer alloys - not sure if genuine or not and are these worth anything?

Apparently drives well but comes without mot & tax and will need the front o/s bits which I'm sure someone on here will have


Feel sorry for the old girl as it's stuck in his yard - and I'll have something to tinker with over Christmas

i buy rotten turds to frag for more than that [sometimes]

the wheels could make it a free car if you sell them.

got any custard btw

Thanks Magpie - I'm getting it, think I might have a go at breaking it up

My old friend Rupert ('user1830', on here) has a cirrus blue front o/s wing for a facelift E30 in great nick if you want it.

Alex

and dont forget the custard

The "scales" beckon !

Will take some pictures tomorrow and thanks for the advice about contacting Rupert

Dibs on the wheels!

get it bought Sean gimme a ring when the tax and test runs out !

Really poor pictures but picking her up next week

Well got it home today and I'm in two minds what to do - take to pieces or get the work done for an MOT.

It's really is a small world as reading through the paperwork I realised that I've noticed this car for about 3/4 years now!

Seen this car parked on the drive only about 3 miles for where I live and always thought I'd have it. Noticed it missing a few months back and been replaced by a Z3

Anyway, dad bits first :-

Rust around battery tray and in the boot, usual rear arches (need to remove carpet to really check).
Needs drivers door and wing.
Engine not firing all all cylinders.
Bit of a clunk from the rear when changing gear - donut, prop shaft bearing?

Good bits (for breaking )

Nice Alloys (well I like them)
Central Locking works + dim
Elec Windows all around and work
Nice new Gear Knob!
Original apart from Alloys
Front Fogs
Uncracked Dash
Instrument panel works
Good Brakes & Suspension and Gearbox feels tight
Pretty good interior (seats)
Original Mats (over mats in place)
Dry under rear carpets!
Glove box working and light!
Tow Bar to Sell!

Anyway I've took a few more pictures - break or fix

The wheels are 15" right? If you frag it, gimme a shout with a price on the wheels mate.

Fix it sean your old d plater went to the bridge last week.

Jim - no the wheels are 14"

Hi Pete, sorry to here about the D reg - I shouldn't have crashed it and if the old guy I bought it off found out he'd be gutted !!!

Still unsure

Well on the upside it was well recycled and i still have the mint dash!

What work is putting you off this me or steve have irish jigs!

Thanks a lot Pete, it's not the work it's the rot

Respect to you and Steve

I'll sleep on it (not literally!)

If the mats are good nick and definitely oem I'll have them off you immediately!

Martin

Hi Martin - will have a look tomorrow pal and give you a shout

That is weapons grade scrap.

Get it weighed, before the Chinese get fussy !

PM'd

I'd buy the fogs, a headlight, some grille and maybe even some other bits of trim if you decide to break it.. I could pop down to Stockport from Chorley no probs!

Neil.

Nice one Neil, yep you're only up the road.

Still got it on the drive, not touched it as too cold to do anything - just need to get the towbar removed on Saturday and will decide over the weekend.

Any news?

Drift rat....

All I've done is remove the tow bar, clean the mats - be nice to get it fixed

Just don't get any time (and too lazzy) to do anything with it - if you want the whole car pm me ?

I think Bikemanjai may be coming over to have a look this weekend, to use as a Drift Rat

Well, I'd guess he won't want the fogs - let me know if you or he find the time to whip them off!

(I doubt my mrs would be impressed by another e30 on the drive..)

Shame the Schnitzers are only 14's but they must be worth what you paid for the car I'd guess

Will let you know, missus doesn't mind actually as E30's are small enough - she doesn't like it when I have an extra E34 or E34 stuck there

No idea how much? I've tried to find some info about these to see if genuine - only comes back with 15 & 16 inch ones

I do really like them, will get a new tyre fitted on one and probably keep em.
