I bought aload of parts off them for when i built the car up after the re-spray and they asked me if i was restoring an E30
i said ,ya
they said, can we borrow it for the display?
and am sure you can work out the rest!

They used to be black but i preferd them red . ive also got some SE side skirts to go on and if i had left them black when i got it sprayed i would have ended up with a black line above the skirts when i finally get round to fitting them.

[hammoj28]

Looks great!!! Blooming stunning infact. Good respray on it.

Oh and the new 3 series doesn't look that bad either.

[Chris-W]

[kunjani]

where was it done

[kam-325i]

Thats looks ........F*!?~#king Mint......

I bet you were smiling ear to ear.........

Well done on such a perfect example of an E30.....

[stuartgallafant]

apple, your car looks the bollocks!!! welld done fella!

im just wandering though, why the E30, and not the E21, the first 3 series? and was there an E36 there too?

[RustyRuss]

Car looks utterly gorgeous mate, and just goes to show (in my eyes) nothing will ever touch an E30 for looks. It was and still is the finest.

[320Touring]

looks fantastic sir! I see that both yours and Chris's were chosen because they felt that any alpine white rightness would overshadow the new car

[billgatese30]

looks fantastic sir! I see that both yours and Chris's were chosen because they felt that any alpine white rightness would overshadow the new car

or that it was the plain obvious fact that brilliant red is much more heroic than white

[appletree]

To start with the re-spray was Ԛ£650 for the whole car (not engine bay, boot or door closers) but included 3 IS rear spoilers, x2 sets of mirror and a spare sun roof and sum SE skirts.

However i did strip the car and rebuild it my self mainly as i wanted to make sure it went baak together right! the sprayer was good and he's done my freinds car but like he said he hasen't got the time or the infomation to spend an hour trying to find out how to take some trim off properly! not that he was rough atall, just after all the effort i put in i wanted it to be mint.

more heroic how sir? step forward and exhibit your bulgarian insurance docs for scruitiny then

white and red however are faster, due to weighing less cos of no laquer

ah, you see they're in the post along with the tax disc

although you need all the help you can get with weight saving seeing as you are 500cc's short of a proper engine

500cc's short, but up one head

anyways back on topic- the e30 whips the new 3 series

[appletree]

OHH and i haven't changed colour it was just a streight respary as i fitted two new dealer wings and thought that the chance of them being blended in and looking good wouldn't be very high so i got the full car done.

[tim_s]

looks fantastic, a real credit to you. Keep the m42 dude, i've decided!

[appletree]

Yes mate! us m42 guys need to stick together, were getting few and far between!

think this car has got to stay as it is + the bolt ons and maybe another E30 to do a conversion in to a track day slag

[kunjani]

hay hay just testing
