Ok well after having e36's & e46's in the passed I thought I'd give a e30 a spin been looking for a convertible for a wile now and 90% off them were dogs and not worth the money so I they thought I'd find one that needed a little TLC well well well I found a neon blue that has had paint striper thrown on every panel and looks like they have stabbed the roof a 100 times lol o well I did say I wonted a car with a little TLC car did come with a full years mot & tax so I was driving it around getting every one wavering at me saying they loved the RAT look hmmm not in to the rat look my self . So I then tho right bet start getting the car the car ready for the paint shop so I started the great rust hunt well found rust on the two front arches and door seals , battery tray and a few over places photos to come ;) then for the inside looks like the bolster has gone on the drivers seat tho the over seats look pretty spot on carpet has a rip the list is getting bigger winkeye

So jealous that you bought the covers for that cheap!!! I've only got the uprights and they cost me a fortune from the stealers!! Great thread by the way.
