ME FIRST E30!!!

[Scruffymurphy]

Fairplay on the work you've done man. Keep us updated. The skirts wouldn't be my taste either but, it's not my car.

[merkyboy]

cheers boys, yeah the skirts are way to loud for the lines of an e30, but at a bargin of 20 quid i rushed in and brought them.. im keeping an eye out for some se skirts, and a twin back box, then i should be able to afford an Is... we'el see!

[merkyboy]

right guys, brought some se skirts, and these wheels.. pictures later on this month...

Nice tidy car mate and the paint looks stunning in the photos.
I like the mods you've made, as discussed i think the SE skirts would suit the car better.
I must say i'm not too sure about the headlamp protectors, it looks like its wearing glasses!
Can't wait to see those Azev's on it though!
They're surely 17s, maybe 18s?

Looking good mate and those wheels are cool.
I have the same skirts on my car that i wll be changing for se ones
as i don't think they suit the car.
Keep up the good work.

merkyboy - keep us updated!!!

[Benho]

but we did it on a budget! paid 340 quid for the car at the start, alloys were 60 quid with tyres.. might have been dodgy, but hey. then we brought a doner car for 100 quid.. we stripped it for the boot, lowering springs and exhaust, and sold it to the scrappy for 50 quid.. basically everything was cheap as chips.. i then sold it for 500 quid, and brought my BMW for 490!!! a bargin!

RESULT! lol

nice one mate

[merkyboy]

just a taster, cant wait to get the SE skirts on.. ! will look miles better

[merkyboy]

RIGGGHT.... rear quarts done, both front doors and both front wings need a refresh, then to paint my se skirts and fit... sorted an exhaust, nearly all done! home you like!

[ItsAllAboutTheE30]

A job well done in my opinion there mate. A big improvement on what was already a tidy looking car. Not too sure on the wheels, but the rest looks spot on. Will look even better when the SE skirts are all sorted as well. Nice one.

[aceraf]

Looking good, think the front needs dropping a touch more.

Looking good.

[JGG1]

think the front needs dropping a touch more.

Looking good.

Have to agree.

Nice work mate!! Looks tidy as f**k!!

[Dr Firefly]

Good base car for £490 - looks in much better nick than mine in terms of rust.

[tigalima]

so tidy,, like a brand new car,,

[stevotheevo]

looking good fella, a massive improvement.

[merkyboy]

my new sebring exhaust, thanks to mick 318is, cheers fella happy with it! next to put on my SE skirts! getting there

[riklusby]

Wow this cars really come along nicely since i last looked Nice job fella, have to agree with the others that the front end needs to go down a touch though, under acceleration itll look like a capri

[merkyboy]

long time no post! still a few bits to do, then to sell it!!!! but dont worry, another e30's in the pipeline
hope you like!

[josh-hocking]

why you selling

[blackE30indy]

nice car mate,looks much smother with the se skirts,might see you driving around, why you selling,INDY

[Chase007]

Well done mate this has been a good project for u as i see and a great read, Only seel if u can get enough money from it to buy ur next E30 as i see u want to upgrade in model type. Well done again mate!

[Levie]

nice work... and some good DIY jobs.. well done mate
im a younger owner of an e30 as well,while the m40 is fun... always need more more more .. so i can see why your opting for more Omph and a next model up.
just my improvements are now where near as quick because university budget SUCKS HEAPS!!
but when i finish i can do what your doing and get some nice parts for her...

howz the inside of yours?
or u sort of left that and just stuck to the exterior...
nice work all the same mate

[Tom-Tom]

That's quite a transformation. What are you planning on buying next, Merky boy?
