[Ollie_bwoii]

Huh, I enquired about this car when it was for sale about 3 months ago. Had been off the road for 2 years or so, think the head gasket had gone.

Doesn't look to bad in them pictures. A nice first car.

[Bradley0024]

Yeah i found it on swapz .com its been off the road a fair while as tyres have cracked, I pulled the cylinder head off and piston four was passing oil past the rings. I pulled the piston out it was scored to bugery so i did'nt bother with that engine at all and got a low mileage replacement cheap of my dads friend and just slapped it in my self its all a learning curve at the moment haha.

Do you know any more about this car as i have no history with it all i know is sum young lads had it and abused the F*** out of it.

Cheers lads

Jordan

[Ollie_bwoii]

Sorry can't tell you alot about it as the owner told me he had no history for it, and it had been standing for a few years as he brought it off a mate.

It was a non runner with rusted out brakes. I just left it after that.

[Bradley0024]

yeah would have been same guy the brake pads are fiairly new they just needed cleaning off ass u can see in the pics

[Alex]

doesnt look bad for 275 notes

once you had one you get the bug ive had 5 e30s so far and i'am 19 its an addiction

my house often gets mistaken for a scrap yard, its ok though it brings the rates down in the area

[bigredbmw]

[Jim320i]

Get some nice bbs's on it and change the number plates to plain ones and you got yourself a very nice looking E30. Welcome to the zone pal!

[Bradley0024]

Cheers lads i was originally looking for some BBS wheels but being a student its hard work raising the cash haha. Yeah first thing i said to my old man was i wanna get rid of the plates !!! They say stealth on them i dunno what that's all about he must of thought it was the bat mobile.

thanks for the welcome though lads much appreciated
