All of the panels were straight and with no rust, I advertised them on here and thought they might get snapped up due to being a rare colour but nobody wanted them :lol:

This ones not scrap! I'm slowly rebuilding it as a non-sunroof 318is track car. Heres my current progress;

Just installed rebuilt struts with new top mounts, spax springs and dampers. Refurbished subframe, M3 eccentric bushes, got a Z3 rack to go on plus Eibach arbs and my rebuilt calipers.

I bought it nearly a year ago to turn into a track car, but I ended up using it as my daily while I was between cars. I finally started properly on it about 3 months ago and got rid of the M10. I had already been working on an M42 motor, which I'm still working on.

When its finished, the spec will be (close as possible);

2.0 stroker M42 with E36 M3 ITB's, cams, some mild head work and a few other nice mods.
Spax nitrogen dampers and spax -40mm springs (got these cheap, i'll be swapping to H&R sometime in the next couple of years.
Eibach anti roll bars.
M3 eccentric control arm bushes.
Powerflex rear bushes.
3.91 or 4.1 lsd.
Rebuilt 318is calipers with braided hoses.
6 point bolt-in cage.
Seats, harnesses, etc.

Should be nice when it's done. Can't wait but we're refurbishing our flat at the moment so the E30 doesn't get much of my time :(

I love the colour though. Since its going to be a track car, I was thinking about doing my 15" BBS' in white, cage powdercoated in white, etc and have a bit of a mineralblau/white theme going on.

I will do when I get a chance. There is a thread floating around already about the engine. To be honest its moving so slowly but I'll start a proper thread soon.

I love marmite, and mineralblau. I want keen on it when I bought it, I got the car cos it was such a clean shell but the colour has really grown on me.
