Nice, I love dolphin grey, how much did you pay?

i paid £1000 for the car, was up for 1300 but a bit of haggling was needed

and this is what she looks like now...

since having it. i have fitted power steering, replaced both lower arms with new bushes, new dizzy cap with ignition coils and spark plug leads, 2nd hand speedo, new blue temp sensor, 17 inch alpina rep wheels, a slight lowering, fitted smiley headlights and smoked indicator lenses along with a full service including timing belt change, coolant change with fuel filter and all the plugs. polished the rocker cover and also polished the inlet manifold as it was a mess!

AS u can see, i am a through and through E30 fan and love the stuff that people have done to their cars on this site....

By the way, this is my first car

Nice work!

Bargain mate and nice job u done, especially on the engine bay. looked tidy even with standard bbs. It looks like u replaced ur aerial i was just wondering where u got it as the standard one on mine looks stupid

how much is that lowerd? 60mm?

Its lowered 60 mm yh but it suffers from sitting slightly high on the front, alot of e30s suffer drom
this so i just gt sum 60mm springs for a 318 to bring the front end down...
About the aerial, im not sure as it was like that when i bought it

Best colour/number of doors combination

How did you get that rocker cover so clean?

looks exactly like my first e30, lovely!

On the rocker i went thru grades of sandpaper, starting with real rough stuff, then going finer n finer, then wire brush end on a drill and brush the whole cover.. This gt rid of all the lines left by sandpaper.. And then machine polished it using a metal cutting compound polish n then using other polishes.. Its slightly off mirror finish, but i like it.. Work on it more n it will get mirror finish but not as smooth as chrome
