Hi all. Ive had numerous e30s over the years and 7yrs ago I found my favourite to date. She's a 1989 325i se and if I don't do something soon she will fall to pieces. I have been doing most of the servicing myself but its time she needs complete restoration and I haven't the skill or the time to attempt this unfortunately.
So I am hoping someone can let me know of a decent garage that does restorations moderately close to me(Hayling island/Portsmouth)......and possibly doesn't mind me helping at the same time.

UPDATE

I am talking about a full nut and bolt restoration. I had been chatting to a fellow up in cambridgeshire about it however he was very reluctant to give me a figure as to what it would cost.
I love the car,however iam not daft enough to spend silly amounts of money on it if iam never going to see it again. Another option is of course finding a car in better condition and starting again.

When you say ' restoration' , what exactly do you mean ? People getting a repaint done use this word, but then so do people doing nut and bolt rebuilds. To totally farm out a restoration in the true sense of the word is a LOT of money, tens of thousands and a loss on 325s I would think.

I have the perfect place ! I am in Bosham and there is a company called Carcraft located at Church Farm, Bosham. They have done my 333i, my tech 1 and my tech 2.

They are not the cheapest but they are superb for their quality of restorations.

Give me a call if you would like further information, I trust the team there implicitly.
