E30 Zone

After some serious time away I’m back with a track build.

I picked this up in February after spotting it on eBay. Viewed and bid hard given the fact that there wasn’t a lot of history and the car needed some work.

The car has previously been a driver academy car and has had some work carried out in the form of.

Safety Devices half cage
Eibach pro street front coil overs
Eibach anti roll bars front and rear
Some polybushes
Carpet removed along with most of the internal trim
Buckets that are so uncomfortable and fitted poorly

The shell is in really good condition being a non sunroof with solid sills.

I made sure of this as I’ve been bitten by a e36 sport that got serious quickly when the sill covers came off.

So the plan is to work through some of the poor workmanship and hopefully pull together a quick safe reliable track/road weekend toy.

Some of the work I’m carrying out.

Bonnet release cable replaced
New dent free bonnet
Air con/headlight wash delete

Over the coming weeks I’m going to tackle some of the body work issues and remove all the bitumen sound deadening.

Some of today’s work.

Cleaning up the floor as the floor bungs have either been used as jacking points FFS

Some one 'built' a track car and left the AC in? LOL. Hope the jobs you have to do rectifying their crappy work isn't too painful. The seats don't look in bad nick, you going to change them?

A 'Gentleman's track car' perhaps?

Looks like a good start.
