my new car!!

[billgatese30]

sweet mate, nice one

[adamS]

Time for another update on this.

The Sport went into the bodyshop to have the kit off and a "whats that brown stuff" inspection.

Well i knew it was going to be a bit tatty under the kit but Jeez. This is more than expected. Never mind its too good to scrap!

So i took these pics for your viewing pleasure:













Also some pics of the back end but i'm too scared to look at them again!

The outcome of all this will be a lot of welding and new panels:

2 Sills
2 Wings
Rear boot panel
Inner and outer arches
More but i've forgotten!

Decided it would be worth a full re-spray while its there. Oh and it'll also come out with an H&R Cup kit fitted. Sweet

Pics when its done!

Thats a nice looking motor m8, are you coming down to teeside park on 31st, see the thread in the meets section.

[adamS]

If I have my motor back I might do!

[rare]

Blimey adam, good luck, looks like a lot of work to be done:)

[buster]

ouch,thats nasty.When i took the kit of mine there was only rust on the rear arches and the bottom of the front wings.Had the whole lot painted new wings fitted etc ,aswell as painting the car as you know, so it'll be worth it in the end.

[E30BeemerLad]

i dare not take the kit off mine, i think it holds the car together

[buster]

structural body kit !

[E30BeemerLad]

damn right, i'll have to space frame the car won't I

[adamS]

She's back!

Very shiney and particularly rustless. It was quite shocking the amount of rust on the car. I think there is more new metal than old now. New inner and outer arches, sills, front panel, wings and the list goes on. So now after mucho welding and a spanking respray in original Delphin I have some Sportiness back in my life

At the moment the car is pretty bare. No rear seats, badges or any of that lark.

Today i fitted a new blue temp sensor, smoked indicators and tried in vain to get the idle sorted (the battery was off for a while). Here's a few pics and more to follow when I get her finished.

Next on the list is more powaaar. I need to keep up with a pesky teg type-r. Answers on a postacrd.

Its good to have her back

[billgatese30]

looking fookin sweet mate

[buster]

very nice adam,looks awesome.In that last picture I hope your not taking the good bits out of your dads car and putting them on yours !!!!

[Jhonno]

Good work!!

[e36boy]

Nice motor, Im well jealous coz im to poor to get a sport. I'll get one eventually.

[adamS]

Thanks chaps. Praise indeed from the S50 heroes

Still can't get the bugger to idle!

[buster]

idle problems.
Have you changed anything on the engine ?

[adamS]

Had a good day getting the interior re-fitted. Sorted the idle out and gave her a good wash too.

I've been out for a thrash testing the H&R Cup Kit. Very tight and no drama. Also had e46 m3 cab rear top mounts fitted.

A few more pics



Nice suede Sport Evo wheel for the finishing touch. I'm in love

[Splondike]

Looks like she is coming along nicely Adam...what are your plans for more power ?

[adamS]

Thanks

I'm not sure really. So many options. 2.7 or m52 2.8 or turbo. Could be anything right now. It probably won't be till next year because my insurance will have a fit!

I am horribly jealous of those seats, I've found one, but need another!

[billgatese30]

I am horribly jealous of those seats, I've found one, but need another!

but you sold me two

which incedentally i should be picking up on friday , if not then the main dealer is gonna be pissed off showing the full era of 3 series coupes, with the only e30 there having only 2 seats

should be a laugh getting it all done on friday as well as going to work all day etc

looking good adam, thats superb

and now thats 3 washington e30 325's with genuine recaro's

[buster]

love the seats and really like the steering wheel.Where'd you get it ?

[Theo]

I know I sold you two Chris, and I knew at the time I'd regret it -DOH!

Did you keep the cloth when they got retrimmed?

[billgatese30]

no, do you need it?

i was going to save it for alec (kidsinister' c2 2.5) but he decided no to in the end so i didn't sak them to save it

i'll ask as they were going to use them as patterns for the new leather so i'll ask and see whether they still have them or whether they threw them away.

[Theo]

Try and get them back from the trimmers regardless. That way if some poor condition seats come up, I can buy the fabric back off you!

Would be good to see some pics of your minty leather when it's all done.

[billgatese30]

hoping to get it back by friday afternoon as i said for the coupe launch

i'll get the car back on sunday so i'll try and get some pics either then or during the ollowing week

[adamS]

love the seats and really like the steering wheel.Where'd you get it ?

Ebay special. Its "brand new" so wasn't cheap. It was wrapped in the original box still!

[adamS]

The latest naughtiness...

Any guesses?



Out wit the old



In with the new



Haven't had a chance to really try them yet

[buster]

nice one adam,best to upgrade those before anything engine related ! good kit.
I went for something a little bigger though

[billgatese30]

loking cool Adam

[MadE30mike]

Jesus you've spent alot of money on that Sport!

May i ask how old you are and what you do for a living? or does your dad pay for all that?

That car will be a minter when your finish with it, well done another rotten sport back from the dead

[adamS]

I'm 21 and work as a Paint Chemist.

Cheers for the comments. When I saw all that rust I shit myself!

[e30sport32]
