No sweat mate. I'll have a look over them tomorrow and see if their ok. Will give you a phone ok? You may as well have the whole car when I've finished using it as a map for my giant jigsaw puzzle :D

You know more than i do then Simon and its sat in front of me :?
The front seats are as mint as they come but don't look re-trimmed to me.
The problem is the rear seat which isn't 'exactly' meant for a tourer :mad:
Couldn't give a monkeys though to be honest as it drives spot-on for 400 quid :P

That's a proper bargain. What have you got planned for it. Or is it on a "need to know basis"

Make it as nice as possible and drive it mate :D
Got 2 spares tourers here so shan't be spending any money (appart from your tenner for the doors :wink: ) and the rest is just a few hours of simple jobs.
I'll put the 2 door rear bench/back with headrests on ebay :cry: and the bottom part that has been 'cut in two' making it a split rear base in the bin :cry: :cry:

Surely some sort of big engine swap or f/i?


Looking at your old fords you could make something special.

i only said it's a retrim mate as there is no piping and factory trim always has black piping which always splits etc

but for £400 if it drives ok and doesn't over heat or have any rot on it then it's a good price!

you have an interior for it anyway, so sell this one on i'd say from reading between the lines

Maybe mate but my plans change 'frequently' :D
Only yesterday i got a train to Blackpool and drove home 200 miles in a 2 door 325 that was to be my next project :mad:
Thats an ok car but to be honest it made me feel like the 'oldest swinger in town' :cry:
We'll see how things turn out :D

I sold my leather last night Simon so nope i don't.
The front seats are nice regardless of who put their hide on them so i really don't care :P
No over-heating no rust issues and proper mileage with history so i'm happy :)
My favourite part about this car is the exhaust note at full chat which sounds akin to a 355 when it goes over around 4k :eek: The exhaust looks standard from my glance at it but it certainly sounds like no other e30 i've ever heard 8)

The offence was commited with your 'semi-lemmon' comment Simon but it was a negative and un-informed so not unexpeted i guess :P
My humour is here in vast proportions, fear not, i just can't tollerate constant negativity it does my head in! 'Glass half full' thats me Mr Halfempty :wink:

Spadge is a hero and obviously has a sense of humour, otherwise Colin would be buried in the back of his touring in a quarry ! :)
