During the week I finally fixed my central locking, which has been out of commission for as long as I've had the car (just one pin needed replaced in the connector between the door and the body!). To finish the job I needed to replace the solenoid thingy for the petrol cap locker. Headed down to the scrappies. Treasure! Everywhere! Pretty much everything I've been lusting after! Here's what I found:

1. Black leather heated recaro interior (small rip on drivers seat bolster)
2. Jen-yoo-wine AC Schnitzer rear spoiler
3. Almost full boot toolkit
4. Facelift foglights
5. Front lower lip
6. Set of bilstein rear shocks and springs, practically brand new.
7. Brake ducts
8. M-Tec II steering wheel
9. Electric ariel (aftermarket, looks brand new)
10. The petrol cap solenoid thingy that I went down for in the first place!

£140 the lot. A Bountyful Bargain average of £14 per item. Score!
:cool:

my beloved E30 has just stepped up a social rank or so 8)

SCB (Sports Car Breakers) in Newbridge Industrial Estate, just outside Edinburgh. Its my usual scrappies, they've usually got quite a few E30's - they had less today, maybe only five or so, but I just lucked out on the stuff that was on 'em!
