the gug has had it's fair share of bodywork over the years!
Is there any point to this comment?
i would agree with phil... i wouldn't post up about another members car in the way alot of you have done here with gug, if u have something to say about the car that i own say it to me in a u2u

besides who said anything about ME shelling the car? of course i forgot, I'm the only e30 owner in ireland...

There's plenty of E30s out there with immaculate bodyshells without a trace of rust. Out of the last half dozen E30s I have bought, only one was terminal, two were immaculate, without a trace of rust, two only require minor work, (small amount of surface rust/very minor holes), and the other one still easily sortable.
All these cars were bought totaly blind, by the way, we me just having seen a couple of general photos of them.
