But it's green, snot green - with added Deer entrails.

Yup me too!! When I were a young'un, it were all about the drop and the big rimzzz and big sounds. Now with the wisdom and taste of an ageing git, I rather like these oldiesharry_p wrote:really like this.

Is the the rear valance meant to be painted black at the bottom on Pre Facelift E30'S?
My Polaris Silver Chromie rear valance is part black also but im not that keen on it.

Working backwards slightly but here a few pics from the work I have done on the car. Apologies for the poor pic quality, they're from my phone camera as I refuse to take my DSLR into a dusty area. They're are a few pics missing of the completed sill welding.

After a thoroughly enjoyable weekend at the Goose household, while just outside of Diss in Norfolk this little b*****d decided to ruin the recently painted and fitted valance.


But a parcel from Atul arrived this morning, top notch work.

oh dear
must admit, it's one of the reasons i stopped using the e30 every day. had a few close calls, but usually rabbits, hares or pheasants! have hit a couple of muntjacks, but oddly both have run into the rear door as i was passing. split second later and both occasions would have seen similar damage to the above.
hopefully it's not too costly to fix.

Very nice car buddy! Bring it round when you can.
PS, looks like you have some serious toe out there, the inner edge is pretty worn.

For leak on passenger side check the pipes leading into the heater matrix. That's what the problem was in mine. My old chromie is the same color, but the West Australian sun has turned the top clear coat to dandruff. So new paint for mine.
