Think I've got two spares Andy, one broken and one straight. Do you want me to bring the straight one - I'll be going to the off-site parts store tonight (last chance before Saturday).

Do you have a set of 2 door face-lift, side rubbing strips that run along the wing, door and rear quarter?

Might pop down to this meet as i have a collection to do in the area that might work in with the time you guys are meeting at.

Post Wed Dec 09, 2009 1:48 pm

i no there a set on the track car which are about to come off and in good condition

Post Wed Dec 09, 2009 1:57 pm

I don't have any bud, sounds like Andy's got you covered though.

My Sport's going down there on Thursday night so I'll probably be underneath it on Sat !

Post Wed Dec 09, 2009 2:37 pm

Post Thu Dec 10, 2009 4:54 pm

Andy - didn't get to the unit for that under-dash panel, I'll try and sort it for Saturday.

Post Fri Dec 11, 2009 6:33 pm

Hi Chaps,
Unfortunately, i'm not going to make it tomorrow - Gutted, but the wife is working 9-4pm and i'm on kiddie duty!
Was going to show you all my new car, but here are a few pics instead (not great, but this is due to my ineptitude with a camera, and the decidedly murky aspect of todays weather):

Just picked it up in Buckingham yesterday, and on the way back I picked up the wheels in Stafford (390mm so 15.5"Metrics, but they have 8mm all round and they are 1.5 yo Dunlop Sport 2000's so should last a wee while).
I know it's a 5 series, but I would expect you lot to appreciate the E30's spiritual big brother - Good points - It has no rust anywhere (and believe me I looked - 2 hrs on my back, and removing carpet lining/boot linings etc). It has a full BMW service history and 65k on the clock (just had Insp II & Cambelt done in May, where the fella spent £750.00), and 1 owner from new (91 yo!!). He wanted £1700 for it, but it had a blown exhaust and a smallish dent on the front passenger wing, so I got him down to a lovely, round £1000.
Bad points - dent as mentioned (but tis fairly difficult to spot due to the dark colour, and should cost £60 to fix with Dent Central), no stereo or speakers (which will cost a small fortune to rectify), comfort cloth seats, the blown exhaust (£50 fix by GB Motors today) and surprise surprise the SI board is playing up, but apart from that it's in stunning condition - I'm well chuffed!
Hopefully see you all soon,
Al

Looks good Al and with a little bit of tweaking, you could release an additional 80ish ponies from that eta lump

Post Fri Dec 11, 2009 8:25 pm

hmm nice one Al.. I do have a soft spot for a clean E28

Yep, and funnily enough I have a lovely M20B25 from the touring.

Post Fri Dec 11, 2009 11:19 pm

It may take me a while but I would look at the stereo if you wanted me too Al. All depends what wiring is already in the car and setting up an ariel, but im game.

Nice ride BTW. Shame about tomorrow.
