Just bought some chrome (the hunt for rot) 23/1/10

[bss325i]

Well, bit of an impulse buy as i wasn't activly looking for anything in particular but after viewing it i had to buy it as rot free chrome turds are virtually non existant. Yes, rot free it cetainly is with only two scabs the size of a peanut on each side below the bottom corner of each tail lamp. More pics of its mint, rot prone areas to come next week when i take it to work and chuck it on the ramp.

Plans for it are ditching the M10 for some 24V action, this will fill the S50 void in my life after selling billgatese30 my old S50 318i Lux.

A fairly new twin choke webber conversion will be up for grabs M10 deviants! EDIT: Basicly sold now!

M50B30 action Barry..

[billgatese30]

your old turd turned out 293 bhp on the rollers today Barry. Most powerful car there and shamed two skylines too

GET IN!

When Damo had i dyno'd it made 283bhp.

M50B30 action Barry..

Not sure what 24V flavor im going for just yet, it depends on what donor car i can get for the right price and spec.

[GC318]

24v + chrome =

[Blitz]

Lovely. Thats what I want my next E30 to look like.

[E30BeemerLad]

Good work Barry, is she Henna red?

I think it is going to be a case soon that when out on the road "you don't mess with a chromie" as most are going to be 24v weapons

[DanThe]

Zinnobar

[Eddie25]

Tech 1 rightness as well. Top find.

[E30BeemerLad]

Is that mo-fo all leathered up too?

[bss325i]

Correct it is zinober and to tbh, it looked henna in the ad so when i rocked up to view it i was a tad dissapointed. Zinobar is nice but henna is !

It appealed to me as i can just crack on with the mechanicals as the body needs virtally nothing doing and i dont need to source an interior as it has tidy black sport leather. Other than a tech 1 wheel its propper poverty spec with no central locking, manuall windows and sunroof. The lack of power steering is lame as well.

Still had the original dealer plates!

[DanThe]

Will you be upgrading to CL and EW? If so give me a shout as I have just the thing

Unless your still on with your fragging hobby,

[bss325i]

Im in two minds dan, the basic spec has its charms as its lighter and means less messing about removing the carpet and stuff. I allready have an optionmeister in the form of my sport so the complete oposite may win with this car. On the other hand i may tire of its poverty but as its early days im undecided.

[E30BeemerLad]

I'm keeping mine pure poverty

Mine has C/L though but no sunroof

[DanThe]

I couldnt live without CL and EW, the locking components weigh bugger all, glass regs 5kg? Wont you want to take the carpet out for inspection/waxoiling anyway?
Is the glass tinted? Looks it

[bss325i]

Yes i guess the carpet will come out at some point to waxoil the mofo. I think it has bronze tint.

[Ollie_bwoii]

Very, very nice. This is the second chromie you own, all I can say is I'm envious.

Are you going for some Tec1 skirts? Or leave as is?

[bss325i]

2 bloody zinober 2drs as well!

The tech 1 rear is comming off and maybe the front as well.

[Ollie_bwoii]

It will look with no kit & BBS.

Has it got a sunroof?

[Joe-318i]

mmmm that looks very nicee, good find
seeing this makes me want my chromie back on the road now

[bss325i]

Has it got a sunroof?

Unfortunately it does but at least the panel, roof skin and tray are mint.

[bss325i]

Just been going through the paperwork and it appears that it was off the road from 2000 till 2005 as there are a gap in the MOT certs between this time and according to the MOT's it had done 39 miles between 2000 and 2005.

Its only done another 12000 since 2005 with it being on 102k now.

Barry, I have a set of green pre facelift glass with opening rear quaters in my garage

[DanThe]

Green!!

Bronze

[George]

Looks great

Needs bottletops...












...just kidding.

[bss325i]

Green!!

Bronze

Pre facelift cars with factory A/C had green tint glass, not that mine has A/C.

[E30BeemerLad]

Red & green should never be seen, without a colour in between

And chrome ain't a colour

[DanThe]

Green tint glass on pre facelift is wrong IMO

[bss325i]

Dont worry chrome homo's, its staying bronze!

[Jhonno]

Why are you taking the kit off?!

[DanThe]

Why are you taking the kit off?!

He is a naturist

[Simon13]

bronze tint is gash!
