Scott, I've fixed your images but you've chosen the thumbnails only so that is all I had to go on. You need links for the the "real" pics.

[scott320i]

where about in oz you live mate? I was traveling around there 2 years..and I didn't saw any major rust on cars except abandoned cars in outback and some 4wd-s...the only main problem your cars have there is sun damage on paint and dash board. Not many E30-s you have there either. I was in F1 comp. in Melbourne and Victoria state bmw club was on grass as well..I expected more cars for this event.
Here some picts




I did love the idea of using window socks over there on cars(never seen them before ) , they can be very useful when traveling...and your country is great...I still love it
With Mtech2 this car would look perfect! Get some better picts up mate

[scott320i]

yeah mate im on the west coast.
but yeah the sun KILLS our cars paint needs a LOT of attention
LOL window socks! i have them on the rear doors on my Hilux 4runner ! ideal for keeping the flies out when camping !

not many E30s around these days witch it is why parts are hard to get and and body kits and sport parts are pretty much non existent !
im trying to find a set of sport seats here but i have only seen 1 set in 2 years for sale

Never mind the 320i, let's have pics of the Mark Three!

Quite a few old Ford perverts on here.

Also, your 320i seems to have E36 front seats.

[scott320i]

hahah well didnt expect that !!
ill have to get it out an take some pics....

[xavier]

Im in WA also. Yea it is Euro engines in Malaga, but I think they took over or combined with the the other BMW place a few streets away. He has an Aladin's cave of old E30 stuff in a store room upstairs. Where else do you buy parts? I find the the WA BMW dealer a joke. $1500.00 for a steering rack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I tend to buy as much off of the net as I can.

[xavier]

By the way the only cars that seem to rust in WA are Alfas. I tried to buy a 105 gtv a few years ago. Lordy lordy. How can any car rust that much? I gave up and got into old BMWs.

Hi Scott,
Good to see another "local" zoner on here.
I see you have the Aussie Spec dash

[Gristo]

front bumper and apron is from pre-face?
Rear wheels could need some spacers! What's the offset of these black wheels?

[scott320i]

yeah seats are E36
motor is 323i
the car is actually a 83 320i hence preface lift front
iv done a series 2 tail light conversion
Aussie spec dash? that come out of a New Zewland import
but yeah all the wheels need spacers ! dono offset of them
Euro engines took over the other place it is literaly down the road an hes got heapsssssssssss of parts !
