E30 Zone

Well the reshell went belly up, and I always wanted a touring so here she is. Picked her up over the weekend, need the usual rear arches and front jacking points, engine is sweet as a nut, no leaks and doesnt over heat. most of the bits I do need I can take off the 320 SE, so a month or so and she will be MOT'able.

325 engine.
Automatic with sport, econ etc. will be changed for a manual.
Wiessman flip away towbar, made the caravan farther jelous.
full electrics, needs an OBC fitting which I have.
14" BBS, which I didnt know came on 325's.

overall really happy, still got loads of coupe bits to flog though, and need to get rid of the two shells before I can start on this.

Here she is:











Will get some better ones once I have my camera back, these were ebay shots.

Thats better they work now.

looks smart !! and for what you payed a bargain!!

Yeah I thought so, I did give her a wash and it looks better, but not mint, I know alot of zoners would turn thier nose up at a £200 bucket, but I see potential and thats all that matters.

Roll on the welder and bodyshop!

Look's good fella.. You work for pug too. ?

Looks good for the money. Decent polish and she will sparkle

Here be some more shots and please dont be too harsh, do need some help sourcing some repair panels though, anyone know where I can touring repair panels from? namely the rear arches and rear valence.






anyone know what the small switch on the top left does?


RUSTED!


TYPICAL NEEDS AN ARCH.


Previous dodgy wiring, lucky I have another loom......


dog always enjoys helping, well nearly.....




not as bad as it looks





What you guys think?

Hell for that money i expected a damn sight more rust, a sweet engine costs more than that !!!! good call mate and good luck with her

i may have a better tailgate than that if your interested same colour too

I may take you up on that, but first Im going to have a do at repairing this, if your in no rush to keep get rid I will let you know in a couple of weeks?

Swindy ,
I reckon youve got a steal with the touring. Bit of hard work and it will be nice mate.
Also you dont have a decent passenger seat that your parting company with in the same colour as the touring seats??

The switch circled disables the window switches on the rear doorcards, leaving the rear windows controlled by the rearmost switches on the console only, and never had any markings on it.
The bigger switch to its right is a circuit breaker for the whole electric window system, which will cut the power if a window jams (against someones neck), or a window switch is held down to long.

let me know mate i'll take the plastic trim off and have a look to make sure though

Cheers buddy, no problems. What would you want for the tailgate?

TOPSPARK, sorry mate I dont have any seats for sale, not until I can source leather anyway.
