Hi found this on ebay and was looking at viewing it over the weekend, does anyone on this site own this? Im not very technical minded and it seems to be priced fairly cheap?

It will be rubbish, the wheels and the 'stance' tell you everything you need to know

bubbling on the rear arches- probable that it needs new rear inner and outer rear arches, but then again most e30s need or have had them doing especialy tech 1s

Get it bought!

it's already had the rear quarters painted, theyre a shade darker than the doors / front wings and has a dubious coach line down the length of the car.polsta wrote:bubbling on the rear arches- probable that it needs new rear inner and outer rear arches, but then again most e30s need or have had them doing especialy tech 1s
so if its got bubbling arches again you can bet there's a mountain of filler in there.
cheers,

i saw that darker quarter too, like you say a previous crash/prang repair, or bodge repair attempt to halt the arches/cover up rust/bubbling instead of new arches , thats now comming back and he wants shot of it
coupled with probable rusty bottoms of wings, will more than likley mean new rear inner and outer arches , wings, both sides re painted , and a good look inside the boot and rear panel-

that said- tech 1s in a few years will be a very rare beast , is it better to buy one for cheap and do the work properly, or buy one for more- not really knowing (as most/near all tech 1s need or have had new rear arches and rear panels,wings and more) the real state of it and if its had them done to what standard and maybe have things come back after a year of owning and then having to fork out for stuff
better the devil you know i say
heres a question - rarety and a lot of them being broken/not saved and in say 3-5 years time, how much do you think a very nice restored and fully sorted tech 1 will be commanding price wise ? in that same time period also tech 2s will be that bit older that tech 1s are now and maybe being broken a lot more/needing restoring ?
