hello guys, been using the site for a little bit, to ask questions etc..thought i shouldnt be so selfish, so will give you the low down on my car life...

to keep it simple:


i owned this and spent thousands on it...

Image

then i hit one of these:

Image

that did this:

Image


i then broke it up for spares and fancied this car:

Image

i then cleaned it up and gave the leather some lovin, using cream and hard rubbing 8)

Image


basically the car has been looked after to the highest quality, it has 100k, electric roof, leather, only 2 patches of rust visable, beauitful paint, full bmw service history and is a totally original example....

i am going to get a spax psx kit, lowering it 60/40, some keskin kt4's, clear indicators, and repeaters, a full exhaust system, cams, decent air filter sytem and a chip. then booking it into the local bmw specialist bodyshop and getting the two pieces of rust treated and sprayed..

im not going to make it appear too after market, it doesnt do it for me anymore tbh.

also, i can offically say that e30's are better than e36's!


something like this LOL AT MY PAINT EFFORT!!!!

Mate that e36 really looked the tits. Im not normally a massive fan but that was really spot on. I dont remember seeing a 4 door e36 iv actually liked before :mad:

I think your right not to mess with the e30 too much, i like your ideas for the car. If your not careful they can end up looking really tacky if you start putting nasty bodykits and huge wheels on.

Judging by your last car you have good taste, i look forward to seeing the results :D
