Hey guys, bought this around a month ago off a friendly bloke in staffordshire off this forum, its an F reg 316i with private plate, came with 11 months MOT and 4 months Tax so trouble free motoring for a while.. so you'd think :O

now unfortunately i dont have any pictures of how i bought it, or any work in progress pics as this isnt my project car, simply a daily..but basically imagine a bog standard e30 in red with wheel trims and standard height :)

so got her home, the brakes felt very soft as if they werent doing anything so first thing i did was check the pads which were fine, so i bled the system and that seemed to have sorted it, there now spongy lmao, but thats how i remember e30 brakes being :)

also changed the shocks and lowered it

mopped the roof which was VERY faded, to the point of it being white..

and changed the wheels to some 15x8j's i had knocking about..

so here she is at the moment..

my plan is just to tidy her up a bit more, i ended up buying a tech2 copy front bumper/valance which will be going on eventually.. and i need to paint the mirrors and get 2 wings which are on the to do list..

however the water pump has died on it this morning so i've ended up takng that off and ordered a new one which im waiting for delivery of, which is a shock as this water pump looks fairly new :/

oh, and 1 last thing, this is my project/drift car which is taking up all my modifying energy..

opinions and comments are welcome :)

thanks, matt
