Hi ya guys been a member of the zone now for a while and have seen some lovely cars and meet so lovely people...

Well i had a H reg Lazur blue 325i which i found in a front garden looking sorry for it self, so i decided to rescue it and give her a new bit of live.
I have limited photos at mo cos most are on my computer which is broken as at mo using my note book.
whiles at his house one day collecting bits for my lazur blue e30 i noticed his Lach silver e30 which he had striped down due to rusty rear archs, i had already bought the blue interior out of this and also the speedo clocks ,so we ended up doing a deal and he kindly dropped the car off at my work one night for the reshell to begin.
pictures to follow as my note book being a pain in my bum...... :x

ImageImagei had the Lazur blue e30 on the road for about 3 years before i fault enough was enough and it was time to scrap her.
I meet a guy on here you probably know as Andyp who i have been getting my bits off for about a year now... and

Looks ok but under the panels was a sorry state....


Image

N/s front seal/floor rust and big hole.... my carpet was getting wet so i took it out to find out why then start to hit the floor with a small hammer to remove some rust and this is what i found.

And the o/s front floor

Then there was the rear panel... could never put anything in the boot cos it got wet...lol

Image

And then the scuttle panel... both end's ....
