E30 Zone

Hey guys, bought this around a month ago off a friendly bloke in staffordshire off this forum, its an F reg 316i with private plate, came with 11 months MOT and 4 months Tax so trouble free motoring for a while.. so you'd think :O

now unfortunately i dont have any pictures of how i bought it, or any work in progress pics as this isnt my project car, simply a daily..but basically imagine a bog standard e30 in red with wheel trims and standard height

so got her home, the brakes felt very soft as if they werent doing anything so first thing i did was check the pads which were fine, so i bled the system and that seemed to have sorted it, there now spongy lmao, but thats how i remember e30 brakes being

also changed the shocks and lowered it

mopped the roof which was VERY faded, to the point of it being white..

and changed the wheels to some 15x8j's i had knocking about..

so here she is at the moment..




my plan is just to tidy her up a bit more, i ended up buying a tech2 copy front bumper/valance which will be going on eventually.. and i need to paint the mirrors and get 2 wings which are on the to do list..

however the water pump has died on it this morning so i've ended up takng that off and ordered a new one which im waiting for delivery of, which is a shock as this water pump looks fairly new :/

oh, and 1 last thing, this is my project/drift car which is taking up all my modifying energy..



opinions and comments are welcome

thanks, matt
