E30 Zone

After selling all my other e30's this the last one left and its a keeper!

Picked up this sport about 9 months ago and its just been sitiing in my unit since then.

Now i have sometime on my hands i have decided to strip the car and finding the lurking rust!

Amazed to only find one jacking point that needs welding and its booked in for next week to get that sorted. I will then underseal the whole car and put back together and get a new MOT and full service on it.

Its only got 64k on the clock with 2 previous owners with full BMW dealership service stamped up in the service book apart from the last few.

It has MINT interior and carpets.

Should have taken some pics before i dismantled her, but she will be back together soon. Here are some pics below:

not the best photos, taken with my iphone.

still shocked no rust on sills, inner arches or rear battery tray!

Chuffed

Engine bay needs a buff up!

Do you reckon this could be the lowest mileage tech 1 sport out there?

Looks a real good one. Dont forget to check the sunroof tray etc
It could well be one of the lowest mileage ones. It's done half the miles mine has

Possibly one of the lowest mileage and heaviest..

ah yeah forgot sunroof tray will have a gander later!

i've always admired your tech 1 oakey looks like an absolute cracker!

what a nice example of the best of the standard e30's. This will be agreat drive for years to come there can't be more than a handful left like this.

Impessive stuff but then i guess the low milage has helped with its relatively rot free condition.

Think that is one of the best looking tech 1 shells ive seen, we have a couple that are prettly much rot free but not as clean as that. Must have been garaged its entire life!

Blimey mate, that's a minter! Probabaly is one of the lowest mileage tech-1s.

Keep the tech-1 alive and you seem to have caught a bigfish there.

Very nice car. It's very rare to see a clean Tech 1.

Keep us posted.

Sorry about double post

i will keep you posted don't worry about that!

cant wait to get it back on the road!

cheers for the comments guys!

is a very solid shell but does need some paint; front bumper and spoiler.

It's nice to see another tech 1 sport in Lachs Silver, especially this clean, any more updates??

Welding all done, interior in, wings and bumpers on, need to put sideskirts on, MOT it and service it.

New pics soon!

Straight through MOT today so i finished getting it all back together. heres some snaps!

Well that is a keeper for sure. Bit of an engine clean up with some new bottle's and will be almost perfect.

Very nice and original.

I wish i still had the original dealer number plates!

thats next on the list to do! just need to find the time to do it. had a sick k&n induction kit on it but replaced that today before the MOT for the original AFM and filter.

MOT inspector and everyone in the garage came over when i came cruising in and complemented the car.

i am not saying its MINT it does have little bits needing done to it, but definitely the best tech 1 i have owned or my eyes have seen before.

Tech 1's are the business. Lovely car mate!

that is truely stunning.. youd be thinking you were back in the 80s looking around that car love it just hope mines will look as good

Oh thank god! its not just me that has wobbly mtech1 sills

Looking very nice if only mine were as nice and as tidy as this, i would be a very happy man.. instaed i have some rot issues around the rear arches and the dreaded scuttle rot to deal with!

Jamie it looks mint
Im jealous!

thanks for the comments guys, much appreciated!

will get some better pics up soon on a sunny day and after a polish and engine bay cleaning session!

Look foor the how many tech1 1's thread and put it in.

theres also the pics of chromies thread

superb mate
keep it

Must say nice car I would not say no to a good example M-tech 1 some day will do the mission !!!!!

Looks fantastic Jamie!

Now give it a good clean and polish! You'll be able to get that paint looking 100% better still

New pics!

Done a little black and white photography this time. What do you think?

I think they need to be photoshopped a little bit to make them slightly darker.

Very nice
