yes mate i have spent a lot of money on them getting them upto scratch.

How did you get those seat belt buttons looking like that? If they've been restored I'm super-impressed!

[sweep]

Ken was only waiting for a telegram from the queen...

[dom-1984-320i]

Very cool indeed

[Gok]

I could only dream that the E30 Shell I got from you will one day look half as good as this. Great effort looks spot on.

[appletree]

Nice new garage you have there, is it far away from the old place?

[sweep]

Same yard but im in the big garage at the bottom,we now have the whole yard and slowly weather permitting doing it all up.

[sweep]

Managed to get 2 minutes to have a tinker with this today ..its now sporting working headlight wash wipe

New washer fluid tank to fit and e46 rack next.

[KIRIEIW]

Those are the wheels I'm looking for! Looks great

[sweep]

Next step washer tank cap refurbishment..

[sweep]

Well since more or less taking over the yard i rented a unit in i have bought several more e30's for breaking , i also have plenty of work involving e30's for repairs etc aswell as parts orders coming out of my ears to wrap and courier out , so my updates really have been poor on this car so i have been trying to have a few hours here and there - normally saturday dinner times,
so here goes..Had the odd smell of fuel whilst been in and around the car so decided to replace bulkhead to engine fuel pipes..





Imported a complete set of minty fresh premium speakers and fitted them also...fronts to be
fitted soon

[sweep]

15 horses?!...maybe

[G-Bear]

That's a pretty collection of metal..
