My little red 316, a build thread?

Doing a minor build / restoration or an epic one, post it here

Wanted to start a build thread for my E30 so here it is! The story so far...

One lady owner until the early 2000's, then put into storage with light use until 2018, used by an 18 year old for a year until it bacame mine!

Purchased in Feb 2020 for £3800. No major structural rust, patchy history but recently MOT'd and running....barely.

No heat, dodgy brakes and an engine that ran like crap, just about made it home in one piece.

She actually looked very good the day I brought it home.

Welcome. Start with lots of pictures before you do anything and then we can share the progress. Good luck.
