After a long search(well seemed long to me) I've found myself a nice solid Sport. I either wanted a minter or something solid I could make into one. Needs some paint and mechanics but nothing major i hope!

So now I'm officially a member of the 6pot massiv saying goodbye to 4pot rightness

Well chuffed!

Nice car mate, welcome to the 6 pot massive.
Nice white iS there too

Thanks guys. Its really isn't mint at all. Got some rusty bits and a noisy as hell diff. But all will be sorted soon!

Jimbob: Thats my dads 325 with an is lip. Don't let him here you accusing him of having a 4 pot!

I picked it up for Ãƒ”šÃ‚£2740. Asking price was 3 but needs some work as said.Got a stack of history which is fun to read

Chris: This isn't the one from coventry. That was a lovely car but price wasn't negotiable so had to leave it.

Thanks for your comments.
Good night!

Nice one adam, looks good enough from the pics!;) Keep us updated.

Looks just like mine only not quite as low. Very nice!

Posted: **Thu Sep 29, 2005 3:11 pm**

looking nice and clean, and unmolested-looks a great base car for you to build a "dream e30" from!!!

good luck and may it bring you hours of fun (changing the diff

)

Posted: **Thu Sep 29, 2005 4:21 pm**

This sucks. Buy car then send her straight off to the garage without being driven "properly". Ah well!

Getting that noisy diff sorted,pulls left, inspection 2, cambelt sorted (was too tight) and a few other bits.

It'll be like picking up another new car

Adam, are you Nick325's (Tiff) son?

If so. give the old chap my regards, was nattering with him at Ferrybridge on Sunday, he said you had been to see a few 325's but that there had been some real horrors out there.

Posted: **Thu Sep 29, 2005 5:01 pm**

Very nice looking car, looks like almost new.

Tidy 325 mate - welcome to the land of the 6pot!

I noticed the white e30 too - looks tidy 325is??

Just like my own- see www.whitetrack325i.webeden.co.uk

Good luck with the work on it

Posted: **Thu Sep 29, 2005 6:23 pm**

Nice car...looks nice and original.

Cars always seem to drive better after a good going over and a proper Inspection II service. Bet you can't wait.

So the news from the garage is in!

The car needs:

A bloody good service
Sump gasket (pissing oil)
Head Gasket (leaky, but we'll leave that until a fancy cam is bought)
Wheel bearing
Sub-frame bushes

So the diff isn't at fault. Knackered bushes are transmitting mucho noise into the cabin. Not too bad I guess!

Sump gasket is getting done now and the rest in a week or two.

Nice one adam,6 pot rightness.Your dad will be pleased ! You taking it to a local meet soon ??
Say Hi to nick for me too.

Posted: **Tue Oct 04, 2005 12:04 pm**

You bringing it to the Donington show later on this month?

Giles.

Posted: **Tue Oct 04, 2005 12:54 pm**

Definately taking her to Donny. But I'll have to save up for the petrol first!

Posted: **Tue Oct 04, 2005 9:16 pm**

looks good bud

Posted: **Tue Oct 18, 2005 8:15 pm**

Car is back from the garage proper.

List of jobs...

Sump gasket
Engine mount
Cam oil seal and ring
Cambelt and tensioner
Subframe bushes
NSR Wheel bearing
Inspection II

All for the princely sum of Ãƒ”šÃ‚£782.12

He picked up a few things like needing new shockers some time...(hello Mr Spax

) and a few other niggles.

Feels like a different car so I'll be needing more pointless driving to get aquainted!

Roll on Donny
