But your car has a certain simple, clean, robust appeal - a look that made the E30 so cool.

The smoked indicators really suit this car. Looking forward to hearing how this goes after the engine work is finished. The body work is amazingly good for its age.

4 door M10 chromer! That's very tidy, like that a lot.

White b20 chromer has another 4 installments in TBMW. Next one is suspension (Eibachs, Billies etc).

You'll notice a distinct lack of pics of my car on this thread... :)
But as I figure Clarksun must already have made his mind up, here's a quick couple of snaps just to keep you happy. Oh, & the Henna car is still my winner - Andy's come close, but it was never gonna be a fair contest with a white car!
