Well finally got the car back after a few months....

It needed some welding doing near the driver/passenger side footwell, got that sorted, but forgot to take pics of that, as i couldn’t wait to get it back and started putting it back....

Also had new subframe bushes put it, Eibach ARB’s(front & back), GAZ coilovers put in, and get the MOT done, which surprisingly passed 1st time, only advisory was tyre getting low...

This is how it was when i got it back...
Image

Well next morning gave it a quick wash and wax...
Image
Image

Had some alloys that i had bought year or so ago, been waiting to be put on... so couldn’t wait any longer, as stuck them on pretty much the same night i got it back... took the pictures the next morning...
Image
Image

Heres a picture of the coilovers i got put on it, so started messing around with the height etc...
Image

After the alloys, i started putting the inside back together... in goes the carpet
Image
Image

Then the rare interior + doorcards and also the original illuminated all-in-one gaitor
Image
Image
Image

Then made a start in the engine bay, and of course the btb 6 branch manifold had to go in...
Image
Image
Once that was done i had to order 2 clamps from btb as i lost one previously, so had to wait for them to arrive so i could finish putting the exhaust on, once they arrived put it all together and took it for a drive, well a long drive...
The car after put back together after a long time...

Directional tyre the wrong way around...

Also, have you fitted a 4 pot carpet? Like the wheels though.

Very nice seats.

The wheels would rock a non-kitted car better IMO

Shakee,

That e30 is a beauty.

It always surprises me how easy it is to change the way a e30 looks, whack on a set of dished alloys and it transforms the whole car. No wonder these cars were and still are so popular.

Eyecatcher, wheels suit it! Interior looks clean and tidy too. Good looking motor all-around 10/10 8)

Shame about the gravel incident if it were my wheel i would of been through the stages :x :eek: :cry: :roll: and then forget about it and then next weekend you rediscover your little scratch and you go through the stages again!!

Shakeele :cool:
