E30 Zone

Badge has been taken off, going to get a new one and replace in the correct place (it was an inch too high)

Still needs a good polish!

fook black red looks sweet Chris
will have the lamps sorted for tommorow evening if you still need em,

it's crying out for johhno's black heated leather

Few bits to add before it's finshed:
*New grill
*New badges front and back
*Expansion tank
*Washer bottle
*A pair of fog lights

A right good polish!!!!

Yeah nice one mate. I'd love leather but the interior of mine is it's best feature having only 65k and never had anyone in the passenger or rear seat - just some fat tw@t in the drivers seat.

That looks sweet

Some 50k heated black leather would look nice in that..

Looks tidy, LM's will look spot on

Use 3 E30 window winder torx bolts as the retaining screws as the correct screws are not available.

Cheers Pete, should it have one? It's never had one in the 8 years I've had it.

It's starting to worry me how anal I am getting with it. I think there is going to be a good couple of days just on the engine bay. I'm really pleased with the result of the rocker top and plenum but that just shows up other areas in the bay that need sorting. There is nothing wrong with the expansion tank or washer bottle but they wouldn't clean up after soaking in neat TFR but then you look at the dizzy housing, the AFM and alternator......then the throttle bodies!!!
I'm going to need an account with autosol!

Looks great, very nice

standard rear lights ftw

Very

Looks stunning!

Cheers for the comments guys. I'm going to see if I can make that engine bay mint today.

Looking good mate. Before you polish it, make sure you Clay it. Amazing how much difference it can make.

As for the M3 badge, when I had the new boot lid fitted, they never refitted it, and tbh, I prefer it without. Looks cleaner.

Andy

Still loads to do but see the light at the end of the tunnel. My mate thinks I've got OCD!

loving the M3

Some more work done today.

Just noticed they're completely the wrong order.

Your one lucky coont owning that

Dame that's nice credit to you fella nice work comes with good results and you have it.

You have got ocd, looks perfect as is lol

Looks shiny ! Distributor cap cover, some bumper tape and some proper wheels and you will be sorted !

Cap cover and bumper tape I'll put on but wheels are staying Pete. I was watching some 16" ones on eBay but so is half the forum.

Today I gay bar'd the bonnet and both front wings, it started to get cold so that's all for today.
