Damn that engine bay just made me come, nice car.

[E30Gheko]

One of the nicest lookin E30's on here for sure Lee. Cool as fook mate.

[leeparkes]

Cheers the comments lads
could do with updating this thread as it now has blood red carpets, M3 Scorpion exhaust and no eyebrows,
next job is to re-dye the leathers as there a bit cracked on the drivers seat, i was considering doing them deep red but not sure it would look right

Oh and i de-badged it for traffic light action
Ill update soon.

[Foe]

Lush mate!

They look the same as mine, do yours have Mahle stamped in the centre, here's a few pics of mine mid refurb you can just make out mahle in between the two bottom bolt holes.

[leeparkes]

Cheers for the comments guys they are very welcome

The car needs a good clean at the minute with this weather and my laziness

lovely looking car, well done. What suspension have you got on there?

Its a 60/40 drop although its more a 70/40 with The M30 in there,these old engines aren't light but the gallons of torque make up for it.

[Foe]

Nice one for sorting the dash light out

[Devil_Z]

I think it looks great without the side skirts, I agree with others, lose the e30 badge and eyebrows. the engine looks 'crate' fresh too. definitely the most appropriate engine conversion. I'm going searching for those wheels.

[chris_335]

Love it Look's Stunning
there aint much holding that back













Think i just made a mess but dont tell any one

[Bjorno]

Car looks great, wheels are awsome and the engine is and looks stunning!!

Very nice E30, but are there adapters behind the wheels? Because they come more to the outside then normal Mahle's wheels would do. Looks good anyway.

[inlovewithRWD]

Those wheels look great and make a change from standard BBS. Are there any clearance issues at all?

[E30gore]

reallly nice

[leeparkes]

Thanks!

Bjorno, yes there is 15mm hubcentric spacers on the rear with 195 tyres to give the look & stance i wanted

Cheers for the comments lads

[inlovewithRWD]

So what ET do the wheels have without spacers?

[Rav335uk]

I don't like it

[dapperdan8001]

Fantastico

[leeparkes]

So what ET do the wheels have without spacers?

7j ET13

They just 'skim' the rolled arches,

I have considered buying a second set (or pair) and get them banded to 9j

[dom-1984-320i]

I have to say the same as most, stunning! That engine bay looks lovely Lee, great job!

[E30_KIID]

Your done a fantastic job with your motor lee, looks absoluetly stunning. I love the wheels made me think about getting a set for mine. I was wondering what size tyres your running?

From what iv read i know there BBS Mahle's off a e21, 15x7j, et13 with 15mm spacers on the rear.

Thanks, your car made me think twice about 3piece splits
