Want some stuff doing on my E30 that I haven't the time to commit to.

Looking for a trusted and E30-knowledgable bod to swap out some parts, who'll do a quality job, look after the car with respect and charge reasonable money.

She's a bit of a mess at the minute while I find a couple of panels and sort paint, so it would probably be treat as such by a regular garage and I won't have that! :)

- Discs/pads all round.
- Fuel Tank (+filler neck if req'd).
- Brake lines including front-to back while the tank's off.
- Pull the diff for me to get some rebuild and machine work done.
- Check all rear bushes.

I take it Chris-W ain't taking work any more? Any other advice or offers?
...or is it?

Long time no speak young man :D

There is a garage in Sunderland who I would trust as I know a few of the guys there, they aren't E30 specialists but they are good at what they do and they are all into older cars (older VW's mainly) so treat things with care. Might be a bit far for you though, especially if the car is off the road.

You could always see Beardymat (Sheffield) for the paint/bodywork, he is top notch and worth the trip.

I was going to approach Matt, never quite sure who's still on the scene. - I'll be pretty much rust-free (visual check) once I've replaced the bootlid.

Looking at the list here, there's no rocket-science involved, I should be less lazy, but I'm working *a lot* and have got a house refurb on the go as well, so just no time.

Runs fine, Chris. - Drop me an IM with the garage details. :)

Dan, I was trying to get hold of him during some holidays and family stuff, kinda assumed he had other stuff on. - I'll drop him a line through FB...

I might start a thread in the Pub to see what I've missed lately. hehe
