It followed me home.. Can I keep it..?!

[Jhonno]

I think they were a little confused however..



Uwe, you are a legend, cheers for the 'taxi' service.. 900 miles over 36hrs with a trailer!

[blackE30indy]

Looks like it needs some work,so what's the plans

[andrew320i]

900miles over 36hrs, now that is love for the E30!

[Blitz]

You get it from Germany?

[madaboutthe30]

Do tell

Bloody Hell That Is Love

Now, now, you can only keep it if you're prepared to pay for its food and take it out for runs on a twice daily basis - they need a LOT of exerise, this breed

And you are responsible for the housetraining

We don't want any puddles on the floor

[Jim320i]

Prehaps you should put up signs just to make sure someone hasn't lost her... There may be a reward...

[Jhonno]

Blitz, it did indeed come from Germany..

@ Beemerbird.. I will make sure it gets plenty of exercise and is well fed.. It needs to be brought back to full fitness 1st though, so will be on bed rest for a while

Jim, I think it is better off with me, it hasn't had the love and attention it deserves.

[glenn]

very

whats the plans dan?

[Simon13]

Can i have it!

[Alex]

Well done, thats awsome

[Jhonno]

Plans are a little undecided..

There is no engine or box, but it is complete other than that, so the plan was strip, put monkey bars in, swap all my goodies over from RLX..

However, it is an Aug '91 shell, originally Sterling Silver, 1 of 18 or something for the year I've been told, comes with immaculate black heated leather and 86k kms on the clock.. It has been laid up for 8yrs, at least. There is the temptation to restore with an S14 etc, but it will never be a numbers matching car, so I don't think it is worth it.. So currently my thinking is still to swap the trinkets from mine over, but put it back to sterling, and cage it, for a track weapon..

Perfect mate, in my eyes with your suspension and engine it will be the ultimate E30. But how are you going to manage stripping the 'foam'?

[Jhonno]

I think I will have to employ a local deviant to handle that task for me

[Cook318IS]

That m3 needs a bit of loving!

Does that mean that if you do transfer everything from your s50 over, that there maybe a full 5 stud setup and gubbins going?

[Jhonno]

It will get the required loving..

There was a 5 stud going.. It sold before I even got the car back in the UK Going back on an M3 though

[Blitz]

I wonder what it would be like to drive compared to your old car. Cant be any difference can there?
Just a different body.

[Jhonno]

I would imagine better steering and brake feel.. Slightly better balance maybe.

[bss325i]

Plus more stable at high speeds.

Molestation is its destiny, no point going backwards

[Jhonno]

It will be getting an S50 and I reckon most items in the interior will be sold to fund the monkey bars.. I know Ratch was after a mint grey LHD carpet

The M3 was designed for Motorsport 1st... It will be paying homage to the idea

Did you see the cage in the escort next door to BBB? looked like good cage work to me

[Jhonno]

Is it there atm? I will look tomorrow if so..

I need to see his painting also..

[goosiegander]

Dont know about the painting dude (ross had it to do the engine bay) -but i think he did do the cage, if its the same dave we are talking about...

[Jhonno]

Billericay Dave...

[goosiegander]

aaaaaah... no then lol!

Please tell me you're going to be painting the bonnet when you swap it...

[mabz]

[Jhonno]

aaaaaah... no then lol!

Please tell me you're going to be painting the bonnet when you swap it...

Not a chance.. I will be adding other bare carbon trinkets also

[goosiegander]

I must admit that i am considering leaving the sunroof bare carbon when i get mine but i think personnaly that if i get a bonnet as well then it will be painted,
