Someone recently asked what things would cause you to avoid an e30.


Well apart from curse of sight, the description rings a few alarm bells. :D

The interior is nasty, but the bodywork is strangely arousing. Now I feel dirty :-(

He just completed the outside work, as it was a lot worse than that.

Pity he didn't replace the inside back to something near normal.

It looks like he tried to make the outside look like the inside and vice versa, what a horrible example.

Its probably worth the asking price prior to this horrendous conversion keeping in mind it was a clean 2 door with no rust and kept in good nick.

Black 2 door's hard to come buy as it is, then this happens to it, leave the max power mods to the focus's and clio's and 106's LOL.

Not my taste. Yuk.

It needs a Chevy small block and standard sport interior in oxblood/cardinal/something similar. Not those horribly council Sparco/Harness seats. I think the clean rear deck saves it. A barryboy spoiler would kill the whole car for me.
