Hey peeps, haven't been on here too much since i sold my E30..

Felt something lacking in my life since i sold it too, drove other cars and never got the same feeling as i did when i was in the 30..

Untill last weekend, went and had a look at this beauty and bought it on the spot! winkeye

Good bits
2 owners from new
76,470 on the clock
been garaged for 7 years then the previous owner bought it and started replacing what needed doing
i cant see any rust from up top BUT i will be getting it on the ramp tomorrow and giving it a good going over!
(Pics to follow on my project thread)

Bad bits:
the hood is shaaaggeedd! needs a new one asap!
Its a 320i auto- which isn't too bad as a cruiser but anyone who knows me on this site probably knows my plans for the car and they don't involve this engine 8)
ill let the pics do the rest of the talking :

I don't want to clutter up the "E30 chat" so ill upload the rest of the pics on my project thread..if your still interested the link is in my sig! :thumb:

Thanx mate, feels good to be back! Yea it hit hard alright! its like an addiction.. just when i thought i was out...it pulled me back in! (nice godfather quote ) lol

Just my daily which is a diesel corsa 8O It was killing my passion for cars bigtime! Its good at what it does i guess, i do get around 550miles to a full tank which will still be used as my daily, but at least i know what awaits me at the end of the week 8)
