E30 Zone

I just bought this shed today from igotu, need your opinions on what i should do, heres the car:





It needs 2 new sills, some welding in the boot area, driver's A piller and probably some more somewhere else!! So, i got some options, if you could voice your opionions that would be great.

looks good! get it welded!!

i sold E49 JAN for £650 {just the plate} but the car needs to be taxed and tested first.

Get it sorted then sell the plate to counter balance the cost of repair.

loose thw wheels and get some 17inch

Should be ready for an MOT then?

+1 on leeparkes!
Makes perfect sense tbh, valuble plate to the right person and a good chunk of cash back on the repairs to. Win win mate

go get your money back !

It looks to good to break!

Why is it too good to break? Needs a ton of welding, is pink and has the wrong engine in it?

Frag it.

1 17" wheels on E30's are total sh1te
2 who gives a sh1t what wheels are on it when it needs a ton of work before it can turn a wheel
3 weld it up and get the plate off and sell it mot'd for the best money

Oh and ffs dont waist money on wack wheels or triangle bonnet vents

I'm really not a fan of private plates, but that one has certainly got some value and it would be daft to frag the car for a couple of hundred quid (it's only a 1. and effectively give the plate back to the DVLA gratis, when you could fix the car, get it T+T'd, and then sell the plate to cover the cost of repairs.

The financial value of a taxed and tested cabby is more than a broken 1.8 in bits.

+2 on leeparkes,

Get the welding done and some 15" BBS on it! Could be a nice looking car.

PM this guy - jimboe39540i, he wanted the plate.

It think what he is trying to say, fit some 17s and the mots tester will be so shocked he will forget to fail the car on rust.
Just and advisory on image fail!

Bung it through an MOT, sell the plate and then frag the turd. You might be lucky and get your money back

The plate is worth sod all tbh, it's worth no more than £200 inc the transfer fee if that.

Now take into account getting it through the MOT with little or no work (here's hoping ), taxing it at £112.75 and then insuring it, it's going to be costly to punt the plate along.

I'd break it good style and make the most of it.

Break it fella. Do what you have to do to sell the plate. You'll get good money on it, then get the rest on Ebay and on here.


Personally I like 14" bbs's... But thats me. I would still have 15" though. How much you want for the interior?


The 14"'s go for loads on Ebay these days too.

patch it up an bung a 25 lump init sell plate mop it up looks kinda straight from wot i can c least it has'nt got pony crome bumpers!!

It depends on your location, access to a good fabricator and welder and commitment towards the car.
Selling the plate to cover some costs is a good idea but remember these are times where money is tight.

I'm not sure that the plate would recoup what i'd cost to get a legal ticket on it. Frag it.

Here's a link to the thread on the car:

Get it stripped and weighed.
