Hi folks - I'm Vish and I'm new to e30 world! Picked up this project a few months ago and all I've done so far is a comprehensive fluid and belt service.

Can't wait to get some new shoes (front tyres are now no longer flat!), brakes and an MOT!

More to come over the next few months :) Hope these cars are easier to work on than my '90 v6-d mr2!

Looks like a nice car.

The e30 is pretty easy to work on if your handy with the spanners.

The biggest issue is rust so get the kit off and the carpets out and get poking any brown marks you come across.

Welcome to the mad house and hope you can come to some meets in Scotland this year.

Nice choice of colour!

Do as the guys say. Get the carpets up! I've just done it myself, you'll find lots of lovely surprises.

Haha ^^ Thanks Matthew I'll bear that in mind.

Interior is out so I'll have a good look and report back with some pics! Not scared of bodywork so a bit excited about cleaning the car up. Just need some warmth and sunlight :(

Since spending far too much on cars over the years I'm aiming to be really careful with money at least until I've driven it for a good bit. Just out of interest what do mtech 2 325's sell for these days?
