it looks familiar right enough but looks like a nice car to me.£7000 seemed a bit steep at first until i read whats been done to it and if it indeed has been done properly then 7G probably wouldnt be a bad price imo. 8)

Looks stunning.

Engine bay looks good.

I wonder how many people are going to call this one a shitter just because it's been up for sale once already.

Nice colour too.

Wasn't there cooling issues with that tiny rad jammed up front in the mask part ?
Also rumours of a nasty front end prang ?

i've seen it in the flesh, it's looks very tidy bodywork wise but i don't know about the mechanicals.

Certainly has no typical sport bodywork issues that you can see, so i expect the body is better than most.....

The guy who owns it is a nice genuine guy, seem to remember he was selling to buy a house

Only thing that would worry me from the photo's is that the rad isnt located in the right place, meaning it must be a lot smaller. Everything else looks fine.

The car looks fine to me. And ive just remembered i saw this at aces, looked fine there. Ok so theres some dubious styling in the wheels etc. But everythings there.

Its fairly sad to say a car is bollocks because its got a funny throttle cable or something. Very sad infact.

At the end of the day, if the car runs and drives fine, and has a good shell etc then its worth the money to plenty of people.

i like it but would expect it to be in showroom condition since he states its had a complete bare metal respray and interior recover.projects such as this will always need little bits and bobs taken care of for the perfectionists

that looks the mutts nutts and im sure it half goes as well. Paying a price like that you would expect it to be fully functional not a unfinished project. Im sure its not unfinished probably needs a few nuts and bolts tightened here n there.

where can i find alloys like that for an e30? being looking for them type for ages but dnt no what they are called....

does anyone have any idea who bought this car. i was going to go and view it when it came onto ebay but it was already sold by the time i got round to it. i wouldnt mind getting in touch with the owner to see if he fancies a change.... the pic links dont work but i think im thinking of the right car, it had borbet B deep dish alloys on it and looked mean as hell.
