yep jaffro's then mine and now jaffro wants them back

a while ago they were not really looked at and dips had them up for sale for AGES! the jaffro nabbed them even though he was not sure about the look.

now it seems they are on a few cars and i have had a few zoners commenting how good they look. they do look sweet on the tourer

you wanna see jaffro's new wheels

deep dish goodness. i have never seen these on an e30 before (except the tourer they came off), very unique

b2.5 is running sweet and is now my daily the lachs silver is back in storage.
yeah they are 16's made by Borbet I can't find any more like it ?
they could be yours ,I have just bought a g60 powered vw caddy pick-up and those borbet c's would look great on there

glad the b25 is running sweet!

g60 powered vw caddy pick-up!

they are great!!! get some pictures up. infact i need to get round to your and grab those 14's of ya so i will have to have a look.

Kami i will pm you some details but i wont be able to do it mate. i have had mine off the road for a year, finding time to do my own is not going so well so i dont think i will have time to do it for you. if you can take an engine out you can put the engine in. its not hard if you have all the bits.

i will pm you as my prop might be up for sale at some point

Post Wed Aug 13, 2008 5:39 pm

Post Wed Aug 13, 2008 5:44 pm

fookin ebay retards

Post Wed Aug 13, 2008 5:47 pm

well they where 50p lol.

Post Thu Aug 21, 2008 4:04 pm

they were 50p and 50p to post, them were the days

had them a while and never checked them

i guess i will do more research next time but it was one of those ending in 1min so i trusted it, im a fool.

still all the parts are painted with the hammerite goodness but the diff isnt finished as i ran out of paint and now cash until payday

was going to paint the rear calipers too but again, cash. girlfriends bday might have had something to do with my funding issues. grr.

maybe i will do that bit another time and finish teh diff another time?

this bank holiday im going to have a fully working m30 if it kills me

Post Mon Aug 25, 2008 9:44 pm

bank hol weekend means DIY .

thanks to jaffro i got teh frame bushes pesssed in

so now after a splash of paint its time to put it back on.

everything was back on with new everything! handbrake cables, flexi brakes etc but then......

what happens if you forget these?

yes the plate is the wrong way up but ive sorted that out after having to take off the full rear frame and putting it back on. 3 hours 19mins later and 9.30pm i was in bits but its back on 4 wheels

so e34 ac fan is mounted and wired up but the wires are still getting hot

plenty of space so time to fit rad.

made a nice bracket at the base:

much more space than what i had before

now its back on all 4. needs the iS lip on it and the SE skirts

prop dont fit anymore as we shoved the engine RIGHT back.

not much longer and she will be ready!!!

Post Mon Aug 25, 2008 9:50 pm

some good progress rick keep the pics coming

I have some se skirts if you need them ?

oh ...and i am looking for a tourer pm me a price

Post Mon Aug 25, 2008 10:05 pm

cheers for the offer of the skirts but i have some which have been kicking around for a very very long time!

your post got my girlfriend excited! she thinks it would be a great idea and to offer you £2000. bet my landlord would love me to get shot of it too.

gonna keep it for a while just because i have put my life into this little beast and it should be in pretty good nick! the shell is perfect, the big m30 and everything has been re-furbished. im trying to make this a real peach.

things to do.

sort prop out

finish fan wires

coolant pipes are all there in place just need water and a few hose clips

hook up gear linkage

need to sort them mani so the exhaust fits perfect.

then put exhaust on and mot time.

oh and put the pasenger seat back in

Post Mon Aug 25, 2008 10:12 pm

allright ric, on the photo of the rear axle bushes the plate looks the right way to me
