Hi I haven't been on the Zone for a while. Bought an Elise and been playing with that for a few years.

Image

As the Elise had the garage the E30 has been out in all weathers :cry:

Image
Anyway as fun as the Elise has been on the few sunny days of the year (2) that we get, its going so I can get the E30 back in the garage. Its suffered a bit over the years with car park dings, knocked bumpers, etc so now it time to give it some love.

Things to do. The sunroom seal has had it, mouldy and blown. Is this an easy fix for a new sunroom seal?

Exhaust was knackered at the last MOT so swapped it out for a Blueflame jobbie . Lovely it is but don't think it was fitted correctly as it is crooked and the front box hangs down, so will have to get that remounted.
Image
You can also see some rust on the rear valance that will need to be sorted.
Need to get my Hartge bodykit out of the loft and get that fitted. Thinking of solving the parking dings etc and having a re-spray, probably in white.

My front H&R ARB is currently sitting in my garage as it fouls on the wheels on full lock. I think this is because the 15" Hartge wheels it is currently running are E21 wheels with the incorrect offset. I have these which I believe are correct and will get them refurbed at Lepsons who did a great job on my current set.

I suppose what I am aiming for is to get it looking like this

Then decide whether to have the race car graphics applied

Oh and some new black bumper trims. and maybe some new speakers and a small sub.
