snoops look but de chrome should be in the post

yep I had a Mineral Blue 2dr





and then..



All of the panels were straight and with no rust, I advertised them on here and thought they might get snapped up due to being a rare colour but nobody wanted them

nooo another good e30 to the scrappy

Just sorted out your pics as you seem to have problems getting them all linked right

cheers fella snoops what was wrong with the car to crush it ?

Possibly the best colour an E30 can be
Missed those panels for sale

any excuse

i think yours is the only mineral blue cabby i have ever seen, looks fab

I initially thought of you and your car when advertising them

love that cabbie

I like the colour but i think i would need another E30 in another colour as well.

Only the bonnet and boot would have fitted anyway.

This ones not scrap! I'm slowly rebuilding it as a non-sunroof 318is track car. Heres my current progress;

Just installed rebuilt struts with new top mounts, spax springs and dampers. Refurbished subframe, M3 eccentric bushes, got a Z3 rack to go on plus Eibach arbs and my rebuilt calipers.

mineral blue told me of this one,have you been doing it up for a while?the one on the way bridge makes me shudder well this makes 3 as cabbies are allowed specialy that 1

I bought it nearly a year ago to turn into a track car, but I ended up using it as my daily while I was between cars. I finally started properly on it about 3 months ago and got rid of the M10. I had already been working on an M42 motor, which I'm still working on.

When its finished, the spec will be (close as possible);

2.0 stroker M42 with E36 M3 ITB's, cams, some mild head work and a few other nice mods.
Spax nitrogen dampers and spax -40mm springs (got these cheap, i'll be swapping to H&R sometime in the next couple of years.
Eibach anti roll bars.
M3 eccentric control arm bushes.
Powerflex rear bushes.
3.91 or 4.1 lsd.
Rebuilt 318is calipers with braided hoses.
6 point bolt-in cage.
Seats, harnesses, etc.

Should be nice when it's done. Can't wait but we're refurbishing our flat at the moment so the E30 doesn't get much of my time

I love the colour though. Since its going to be a track car, I was thinking about doing my 15" BBS' in white, cage powdercoated in white, etc and have a bit of a mineralblau/white theme going on.

sounds like an interesting project, you want to start a thread going about it

Honestly I really don't like the colour!

Alex wrote:sounds like an interesting project, you want to start a thread going about it

I will do when I get a chance. There is a thread floating around already about the engine. To be honest its moving so slowly but I'll start a proper thread soon.

I love marmite, and mineralblau. I want keen on it when I bought it, I got the car cos it was such a clean shell but the colour has really grown on me.
