I've finally purchased another e30. Got this car on saturday for £2200 and spent the last week fixing little things and generally working out where to go from here.
Body work is pretty much mint. Has had the rear arches cut and re welded and under belly grinded and re sprayed along with the body. Still a little bit concerned they didnt do a thorough job on rust removal but I guess its better than most and only time will tell.
So far I've replaced the throttle cable which made a huge different, splashed a bit of redex in the tank and wired up a new head unit. Only have rear speakers and ocassionally a front passenger side speaker when it feels like it. Think later on I'll just wire up a new system.
I'm going to run the current m20b20 for this year until it gives me any major problems and will hopefully swap to a m52b28 if all goes well. But in the mean time I'm going to refurb the injectors, replace dizzy cap and find a tiny fuel leak coming from the fuel tank or around that area.
Just purchased some b8 shocks and spax 60mm springs from another e 30 member so will hopefully be fitting those tomorrow. Thought I'd get some photos up today so I can compare.
looks like its had heaps of body filler and black primer sprayed all over it.
