E30 Zone

Which is usually pretty dangerous.

I want an E30 couch....




Im hoping to get a sorta industrial/minimal style flat and I think it would look epic. Id have the shell cut in half like so, leather M3 bench, with the leather door cars, sit the back on lowered springs and deep dish wheels, the front bit could sit on feet so its level.

Anyone else think that would look pretty funky? Dont know what Id do with the boot, maybe put a sound system in it? Storage?

Only snag is, how would you get it into the flat? Most have fairly narrow hallways and doors...

Shit thats a point. Maybe if we do up the school part of our house here at home, or if i got a place with french doors.

A couple did it on grands designs with a mini but then i remembered they had to get a crane to post it through a 3rd floor window.

Could cut it into small sections and reweld but to make it look seemless would require a very skilled welder

chop the roof and turn it into a cabby...job done

And then repaint it in two-pack paint inside the flat?

Car-based furniture is the sort of kitch idea that works in galleries and faux-American burger joints, not the poky confines of a British lounge.

Oh yes, love those fumes ! gas out the whole block

" that works in galleries "

Exactly - Im into all that minimalistic contemporary shit, I want my house to look like an art gallery. Fuck brittish lounges, I want glass and stainless steel everywhere.

Verde since you just got a job and going on the amount you need for a deposit on a flat these days I'd say that will have rusted away to nothing before you can afford a place to put it

This is sold man its getting picked up today

The intention is to do it when I have a place later in life
Iv been going nuts since I got a job, got a tech 2 kit and getting my car ready for its brown paintjob this winter. Itl be brown by xmas

when i cut an e30 up, i was going to chop the boot off, use as a coffee table, that opened up , with the bumper being on the floor !

sofa like that would be a good idea if you had the space tho, but moving it about/getting it in would be aggro

plus youd need to spend a fair wack on it to get it looking decent

When I scrapped any of my E30's I got a bloke with a Hiab to just lift it off the drive. Then I went down the pub with my sheckles earnt and a jolly good knees up

Seems like that just isn't cool anymore Fergus!

Wonder when someone will try turning a cab into somekind of hot tub, a nice M30 would make a good heater/bubble blower thing.

If i drink il die.

Test is rebooked diable, if i get the same woman again im properly fucked. Half of my friends have licenses and shouldnt and i keep getting knocked back cos this whore is too timid to be doing her job.

That idea for the table sounds cool polsta but would be a lot of work. and your right about moving the e30 couch around, it would be a pure nightmare, plus spending £££ to get it looking good.

ed chinas famous cars, mans nuts

only with chlorafoam or rohypnol

I live in Aberdeenshire, there arnt any women here. They look like trucks. Il hold off til I can drive and go back down to edinburgh and obliterate the stocks of drunken daddies girls and then flee back to the hills.

Verd, why don't you do the sort of thing the top gear lot have done and fabricate a sofa using the rear bench and a couple of armchairs with two front sport seats?

Pete and I would love to see pic, if you manage to get a bird over. Pete ca supply the chloroform if you ask nicely!

I'll be far too old to be able to get my pecker up........

LOL!! You're too harsh on the poor boy.

I see! You coont!

That'll never work - your average E30 will have so many holes that the water will drain out in 30 seconds

On the plus side, you might not have a boot well with water in it on the passenger side underneath the aerial.

the shell is away to be put to practical use

Iv been keeping an eye out for reps for you btw man, none come up yet. Whats gunna be your approach? Get it rolling first or get it welded?

Trim off what I don't need, repair the inner arches then fab all the bits I need. Might take a while due to work, but I'll just have to make time!!!

Cheers for the look out min, im still not having much joy. Even crap sets with no tyres going for over 200!! Not fair!!

Itl be worth it in the end mate. Il keep looking out for em. So pissed off I weighed in those pinas, I only got 60 quid for em aswell.

Whens that glamis meet you mentioned btw?

Glamis is all ways same weekend as TITP.

Im sure iv been to that when I was younger. Well if alls well I should be there next year. If that 30th year celebration meet happens somewhere in scotland that will be a good one aswell

Will definitely be a good one. I'd imagine with it being an anniversary year itl be able decent turn out

I've got a set of very fine 17" reps that are going to hit the sale section, but if you're struggling to pay £200 squid, then I don't think these will be for you. All four with caps, pina badges and tyres that have covered less than 500 miles.

PM if interested!
