nearly ready for mot

[pauldeacs]

well ive had my e30 about 4 months now. below are pics of what it looked like when i got it (in royal blue) and how it now looks.

so far things ive done........

replaced drivers door
replaced passenger front wing
resprayed satin black
refurbed 16x9 Borbet A's with black centres (still need to really polish up the dish)
4 new 205/45/16 tyres (stretched kinda look)
Lowerd 60mm on Bilstein gas shocks and I think springs are Apex items
new front wish bones and wishbone bushes
stainless steel scorpion centre section
smoked headlights
front jacking points plated up

I hope to get a rollcage next month and have a pair of 325i sport front seats to go in it (backs will be removed)

hopefully take it in for MOT this week although i know it will fail on at least the hand brake as it doesnt seem to work at all on the driver side rear wheel??? i also have excessive brake pedal travel (doesnt loose fluid). im not sure if these are related??

Looks a bit like mine!

Though I already have the cage and buckets with harnesses and a distinct lack of Borbets.....

its a munky saloon, looks good though

Wheres all the chrome gone

[pauldeacs]

I have never really been a fan of chrome on e30's. my previous sports had the de-chrome as standard.

One thing I will add before i get slated down for the satin paint is that it is only a temporary measure until later in the summer when I intend to paint it diamond black.
