Picked this up earlier.
Local car in pretty good nick.
Exhaust/Cat is fooked so picked it up as a breaker but bit too clean for that really.
Probably just tart it up and put it up for grabs,sure itll do someone proud.

Looks pretty nice... HG has just gone on my E36 this morning so I'm sorely tempted! :) M43 HG will hopefully be easier than LPGing that would be, but if I find any more dramas...

Apart from only having two-thirds of an engine, those pic's make it look a pretty lil thang. One of the best colours too. Good luck with it Tony.
This is why I no longer drive an E30......

Yes as always the pics do it justice.
Tidy in the usual areas,scuttle etc but has a bit of scabby paint on the sill under the drivers rear door,bit of bubbling on N/S/R arch and bit near the towing eye.
Apparently no advisories for the last MOT but ive not had chance to check yet.
Typical M40 diesel soundtrack though :D

:( Ah well, it was hardly the sensible option for me! M50 it? You could probably have it done by dinner time?

Do need a change of daily before too long though.

If the exhaust is knackered mate i have a full m40 exhaust off the engine i had, the front section looks pretty new but its a non cat one if you need it. It does look pretty tidy though!

Price if I need it?
Come to think of it ive the the Compact ti one :P

Ziggy no time to M50 it mate.Mine is crying out for it and another is waiting in line :mad:

Cheapy cheap mate, make me an offer on it if you do want it. Need to get rid of all my scrap and the exhaust isnt exactly a small item! I'll grab so photos tommorow mate if you do want it.

Had a quick look around it earlier and all I can see that itll need for MOT is rear bushes are all but gone.Might pick a pair up during the week and put 12 months on it.

Yes rear beam bushes are gone but ive got the kit to do them anyway.
It is a really tidy car.
Bad bits are the scab on the sill which looks worse than it is.
Paint bubbling slightly on the back passenger arch.Small dent at the side of the rear towing eye and few tiny rust spots just starting to show under the rear screen.
Drivers seat is threadbare and usual crack in the dash otherwise tidy inside.
Price as is but with a good replacement exhaust/cat fitted £400 and ill fit bushes if you supply them for £50 on top of that.

Thats tempting, will have to try and get over for a look, got to work this weekend but maybe early next week if you are around?
Do you think it would be a straight forward swap to put the 325i lump from my chromie in, as i am fed up of looking at my scabby moredoor shell fill up with water on the driveway! :roll:
