Well my friends here´s the history about my Cab . I bought my E30 in March of 2009 . The car was imported in 1999 from Germany but the owner had some problems in that time and he left the car in is yard until I buy , 10 years complety forgotten in the street :cry: . The car still had plates from Germany so ... I had some work to do about the papers of the car to get the portuguese registration. :eek:

Here are some fotos when I pick the car

I'd be surprised if it doesn't clean up well. Are they Zender wheels? Good luck with it and look forward to seeing it back to her former glory :thumb:
