E30 Zone

just about had enough of my e30 guys it seems one thing after another.I bought it for £350 and paid £150 to have it couried up here from london to hereford.(cant help it im addicted to these cars had about six of them now lol) and I've spent loads on it with parts and fuel to get the parts.the car was smashed up at front and I've rebuilt it all had new engine mounts fitted which cost me £90 cause the engine moved of the mounts from the impact it had.I got the car off ebay without looking at it so I had to have it but put it all back to gether new wings valance grill bumpers the lot .but nothing seems to line up right well to my standards anyways soz to moan lads but it is really turning into love and hate with diane (the car lol)

Any pictures dude? Sounds like its twisted...

i bought mine for £350

you bought a crash damaged turd for £350 and paid for it to be delivered, without even looking at it...and wonder why you get problems

with the amount it sounds youve spent on it you could of bought a nice one surely

Personally I wouldn't have gone near it if it had a front end smash. It may look fine/straight but the structural integrity will have been weakened. You're only inviting trouble further down the line.

why pick out me and not ranchero for saying more or less the same thing ? ...seems you have taken a bit of a liking for hounding me latley, go f**k yourself. (prob yet another thread to go off track coz someone cant help having a swipe and acting the bell end)

soz guys I just really love these cars my mrs goes mental at me but I've got the e30 bug I tell her lol nah seriuosly guys i love these cars so if I can save one from the scrap I will .(keep the e30s on the road i say )retro I'll crack on with it cheers

fair play for having the will and determination for saving it man, suppose with projects like that...its bound to have times you ponder giving up, but soldier through it if your heart is in it

Agree with you completely but sometimes you have to know when to stop throwing cash in the money-pit.

Get some pictures up.

@jim320i ill upload some pics 2moz from when I first bought it and what I've done to it now cheers

E30 front ends can be a proper tw@t to line up properly even on a straight car!! Everything is adjustable though, so with a little fiddling you should be able to get it right eventually

doesnt sum anything up at all and me asking "why single me out when 2 of us said the same thing "... and you to come back with such a response, sums it up pal.... you just see what you want to see

fishing for a bite then posting back to think your clever...yes magpie thats a brilliant way to conduct yourself on the internet , well done you big man

Can't be arsed working out what this is all about, but the 'management' are cracking down on this kind of thing in our forums.
If anyone fancies a spell in the slammer, then keep it up!

how much do you know about your car.

do you own any tools?

if given the chance i could take a look at your car.

what do you say

it's mine i bought it

nice pm polsta!

polsta wrote:so whats your problem then keep trying to have digs at me and play the sucker thinking your funny

is there any need or reason for it ?

never had a problem with you, or you me...yet you insist latley on being a , any reason ? "up pops magpie with a dig...suprise suprise" is getting the theme latley, makes me laugh and i couldnt really care a f**k, ...but its just tedious and i dont wish to have thread after thread containing tits like you having a swipe

best for the good of the board and peoples threads if you just lay off and keep out my way/ignore me if you cant help being a coz its getting tedious

you seem to think it's fine to have random pops at anyone and slate there cars.

'sport'. maybe you would do well just to keep your big mouth shut and your opinions to yourself.

Got the link to the original listing so we can have a look? Sounds like some impact! Does sound like you may be best taking off the bits you need, fragging the rest and switch them to a new shell.
I bought my E30 for £400 and poured a lot of time and monies into it.. still a long way to go but enjoying it more and more with each improvement

yea looks like your the bell end though... I do agree with magpie here you do have a lot of negative comments on other folks threads..

back on topic...

get some pictures up as said above lining panels up can be a ballache is it pattern part panels your using?

it doesn't sound like you can afford to run a car

e30's must be one of the cheapest cars to run out there, taking into account total cost of ownership

i'm fed up of my e30... it's currently sat in my workshop in primer ready to be painted... as soon as that's done and i get a fresh mot on it... it's going.


Mick i always had a lot of respect for you on here... but don't think you should of posted up the PM... at least Polsta took it to PM so it's kept between you.... in this instance it just makes you look a bit childish wanting to get the better on this thead.... as said... i got a lot of respect for you so please don't think i'm having a pop.

Polsta's not the only one who has digs on others threads... won't be the first and certainly won't be the last.

maybe i'm letting the place get to me.

sending abusive pm's is out of order,when i opened the pm my 10 year old daughter was sat watching and read it.

let's just say i'm not best pleased about that.

cheers for the heads up mr Haywood,no offense taken .
