It's a 4 door, end of , RIP . But every rusty E30 has a silver lining, if the kit is an original BMW one it is worth dollars and for some strange reason council types love MIMS . The kit and wheels are £500 which in the real world is more than most 4 door turds will ever be worth, get fragging ! :)

Ah ok, its not actually a fake M3 kit :D

I was really looking forward to slating this but TBH it looks pretty decent apart from the rust.

I guess the question is how well do you know the car? If you know there are no other issues then £500 to get the rust sorted may be worth it. If not your probably better fragging it and using the money to buy a non rusty one

Fair play to the guy for taking sh*t off you old bastar*s, just because we're all old feckers and out of touch with how the yoot of today speak!!

I dislike it too but if it's how he speaks wiv his bredren den fair play innit!!!

Looks like the car has some morsels. Frag the fecker and put the morsels onto a new car!!!

I expect most of these dusty old b*stards, me included were expecting 3 spoke rims, w*nker lights on the washers, some jap ricer style body kit, burberry check interior and buckfast and white lightning sponsors!!!

For £500 id want a new quarter pannel fitted!

£200 is top dollar for an arch repair IMO, but lets face it, you could buy a non rust one to colour for that and swap everything over.

Puny 1.6 and sky-high standard suspension let the side down somewhat though?! You will be needing a huge 'bean can' exhaust to make up for that sort of damage to your street cred; wicked geezer, sorted. You is surely 'avin a laugh sunshine? :teehee:
