Had e30 up on the ramp, checked for battle damage & did some under-sealing.

De-greased engine & gearbox.

Replaced rear brake discs & pads with new.

Changed heater hose that was causing coolant loss with new.
Replaced lost coolant with fresh pink juice.

Went for a drive....

Drove it for the first time this year with the roof down!!

I forgot how much fun it is compared my E36 touring.

[Morat]

Drove it to work and wondered when I last filled up the power steering fluid.



FTW!

[Gavla]

Dropped off all the chrome trim clips, under bonnet insulation, hirshmann electric aerial, badges etc with the guy doing the paint job.

Took some pics of the progress, will post them up tonight.

Thanks to all contributors to that wiki its an unbelievably good source of information and a bloody good idea well done chaps .

Had the best motorway drive ever from Nottingham back down to Hertfordshire. It felt like what it might had been to drive down it in the 70's. I could only see about 10 cars at one time. Nice clear skys, I took all the M20 loving that my touring had to offer as it ate up the motorway...

[Sanchez]

[Morat]

Let my wife drive into work. Her (unprompted) verdict:
"You really can feel the road better in this car - mind you without traction control you need it"

Bless
