Where is Pacerpete, he usually has the nice bits for sale.

I reckon he is lost on 'internet' somewhere, probably stuck on a Pacer site. 8O

I'll be selling mine as soon as I have got the replacement from Theo. Only reason I'm changing is because some sod has cut some larger speakers into the shelf. :wink:

I'm after an unmolested one too. They are a nightmare to find and I've got 3 or 4 specialists in my neck of the woods.

Nope, 6.5" 2-ways. Just needs MDF rings made up to sit them a little more level and would look fine I think. I'd rather put a nice OE geek spec one in tho.

Its all the begining of things getting rare and expensive and the start of the E30 scene getting better status. I.E the harder things are to find,the more they cost..

One day what happend to MK1 & 2 escorts will happen to E30s.

I've noticed a lack of goodies as well. Was actually gonna post this a few days back.

I hope its a little while yet before the E30 scene rockets off in price, as I'm yet to finish my car!

i have moved form an mk6 escort to an bmw 318i h-reg and its a great car but insurance is a killer so iam looking for mk2 golf which is cheaper to insure and its easyer 2 find parking. but when i get some more money i will be back with an e30. if only bmw made an hatchback it will so much easyer.

no, best leave it to the experts nath winkeye
just undo the bottom seat belt bolts (remove rear seat cushion), remove plastic clips from the shelf, thread seatbelts through and tug the shelf up and forwards with due care not to break/snap. simples :wink:

TBH I'm a complete heathen, I don't know what's rare and what's not.

It's a struggle to find anything really.
