Im just after a 2nd opinion on these, if they get the thumbs up (or anything other than 'it's a death trap') then i will be returning to the world of E30 rightness properly with a Cirrus Blue touring.

Anyway....

Can't really make too much out with those pics but it doesn't look like the arse is about to drop off it so I'd say OK. How long ago was it MoT'd?

Last june, so thats still valid and gives me time to bring it upto scratch, its got no tax and won't start as the ignition barrel won't turn past position 2, bodywork is tidy and jacking points NOT rusty, engine sounds sweet after a bump start, no smoke ect ect.


He wouldn't let me drive it though as it's not taxed and he won't tax it, got a mate with trade plates so thats that sorted 8)

Sweet, was just wondering about MoT 'cause if it was in the last 6 months or so I'd say that wouldn't be long enough for a rubber bush to deteriorate dangerously (unless it was soaked in oil or set on fire of course, but it doesn't look like it!)

Hope it turns out a goodun for you. :cool:
