This is my first e30 iv always loved the shape and style of them then this came up and I couldn't refuse.
It's been stood for nearly 3 and a half years and the rear arches have gone but everything else seems to be sweet.. It's in need of a damn good clean but I reckon it should clean up nice..
Any ways iv took a couple photos on my phone (sorry for quality crap iPhone camera) il let them do the talking... Let me kno what you think..
Cheers Kurt

looks nice. You can certainly tell it's been sitting around - not on that verge I hope! Any other rust issues, and how's it running after three years standing?

The near side front wing looked good but then I took the kit off the bottom and there was nothing there, so I'm going to repair that I think saves painting it cause the kit will cover. The sills are all pretty solid an the rear valence is good aswell..
No it wasn't there that's just out side the farm I got it from whilst I was waiting for our trailer.. Running wise it seems good but it starts up with a miss fire gonna check it out next week when I get it down to work for a MOT.
il get some more pictures an post them up.. Just out of interest what do u think It is worth??

E30 made a bit of progress today... Cleaned all the moss off with some traffic film remover, it wasn't that bad to clean really. Also MOTd it aswell. It failed on 2 rear coil springs (new ones in boot) both front indicators not working and brake sufficiency. a couple of advisories but it's not that bad really. The arches are getting painted tomorrow along with front lower bumper.. Can't wait to get it on road..
More pics to follow..

This'll look sweet when it's cleaned up, unfortunately I have neglected mine's for over a year and looks in that same condition, I spent years doing all the restoration work and then bought another car, which I spend more time on, after this winter weather is clear it's time to start mine's up again and finish what I started

Just bought a full scorpian stainless exhaust. What do you guys think of them? Also I'm thinking of lowering it a tad, What's the most common/ best. I'm thinking 60-40 views? Put all the boot back together today after the welding looks pretty sweet now. Can't wait to get this on the road. Just need to sell my Honda now..

Yea it's a 1975 1602. Got his work cut out for sure but should look awsome when it's done.
