E30 Zone

I've had this motor over 10 years now, and when I found it I said it was a keeper.
The colour I know is marmite, but love it or hate it, I have never seen another cab in it (some would say for good reason, but I love it)
Having used it as a daily for 7 years it finally began to show signs of not liking it anymore and eventually I had to park it up and wait for me to raise some funds.
It is now being revived by Danthe and here are a few photos of whats been happening.
There hasn't been any major rot, just lots of little bits all around that have needed addressing, The original wings have been saved with a little chop off and use of the bottom section of some new wings.
The Engine is being done too with some minor Danthe improvements.





























More to folllow as it gets done,

Great to see another car getting looked after. I really like the colour.

Great colour

Crikey 2 positives on the colour! Cheers, it will look even better when its resprayed.

Be good to see a few more e30's around this way.

Some good work being done. Are there any updates?

what engine improvements is Dan working on out of curiosity?

Paint is finished! pictures to follow. Engine is having a full refurb... not long now.

how long is your engine gonna take ? has Dan go it ??

Dan has it in bits, he's gotta rebuild it now and put me motor back together.... if he has any fingers left to do it....

any progress at all is good news ,

f00k his fingers .... you paid for them

Ha, but I'm hoping to use his services for another 25 years!

Well it’s back from the paint shop and back in Danthe capables for the rest. Well happy with the bodywork.
The race is in on to catch some of this weather now.
Can’t effin wait quite frankly.
