[maxfield]

I'm sure andys is malachite but could be rong

[old_skool]

It's the same as my "Kermit the frog thing" (your words)

Malachite green.

[Morat]

hehe, you're watching that one too eh?
Looks nice a nice car - if it survives the vultures circling over that sports leather!

[ad318i]

deffo not lagoon green

[gcorky]

[old_skool]

Looks cheap too! Low miles, and a manual. With Sports leather

Spadge, that was a bit of a giveaway posting that here

What will it make, £600?

[old_skool]

Any other offers? Taking bets. Closest to the ending bid wins.

[SamE30]

[Morat]

Did you really think i would post that link if it wasn't already sat outside my house Damian
Don't know why he hasn't ended it yet i bought it 3 hours ago and collected it
Its the base for my new project hence wanting to know the correct colour so i can buy a couple of doors

[casper8r]

I feel a disturbance in the Force... Spadge has a new top secret project in mind! What's it gonna be this time?

[SamE30]

Fair play mate looks like good!

[SPADGE]

Fair play mate looks like good!

107k with history just needs a few cosmetic bits and a wheel bearing

The seats arn't what they seem in the advert though hence me kicking in the bollocks with price when i met him with it

[old_skool]

You 'da man Spadge

[old_skool]

base for my new project hence wanting to know the correct colour so i can buy a couple of doors

**cough** doors?

How many do you want sir?

[Simon13]

the leather has been re trimmed thats why it looks good. Seems like a semi lemon to me. Spadge is it a little better in the flesh?

[SPADGE]

Bloody hell i forgot you would have them
I'll take all the good ones please but really need the 2 passenger ones to save bothering with painters.

No sweat mate. I'll have a look over them tomorrow and see if their ok. Will give you a phone ok? You may as well have the whole car when I've finished using it as a map for my giant jigsaw puzzle

You know more than i do then Simon and its sat in front of me
The front seats are as mint as they come but don't look re-trimmed to me.
The problem is the rear seat which isn't 'exactly' meant for a tourer
Couldn't give a monkeys though to be honest as it drives spot-on for 400 quid

That's a proper bargain. What have you got planned for it. Or is it on a "need to know basis"

Make it as nice as possible and drive it mate
Got 2 spares tourers here so shan't be spending any money (appart from your tenner for the doors ) and the rest is just a few hours of simple jobs.
I'll put the 2 door rear bench/back with headrests on ebay and the bottom part that has been 'cut in two' making it a split rear base in the bin

[maxfield]

Surely some sort of big engine swap or f/i?


Looking at your old fords you could make something special.

[Simon13]

i only said it's a retrim mate as there is no piping and factory trim always has black piping which always splits etc

but for £400 if it drives ok and doesn't over heat or have any rot on it then it's a good price!

you have an interior for it anyway, so sell this one on i'd say from reading between the lines

Maybe mate but my plans change 'frequently'
Only yesterday i got a train to Blackpool and drove home 200 miles in a 2 door 325 that was to be my next project
Thats an ok car but to be honest it made me feel like the 'oldest swinger in town'
We'll see how things turn out

[Simon13]

your drive doesn't look big enough to house all these E30's

I sold my leather last night Simon so nope i don't.
The front seats are nice regardless of who put their hide on them so i really don't care
No over-heating no rust issues and proper mileage with history so i'm happy
My favourite part about this car is the exhaust note at full chat which sounds akin to a 355 when it goes over around 4k The exhaust looks standard from my glance at it but it certainly sounds like no other e30 i've ever heard

[SPADGE]

Simon is there a point to all these negative's you keep throwing at me or are you just bored??? Get some PMA instead of PMT you misserable coont
My drive can take 4 cars if i want it to but i do have other places for storage and currently own 6 cars plus the wife's.

[Simon13]

it wasn't a p!ss take, just me wondering thats all. Don't lose your humour ffs

I live in a terraced ex-MOD house and know about space issues

I can't believe you took offence to that!

[Simon13]

i haven't been throwing negatives at you either

[SPADGE]

The offence was commited with your 'semi-lemmon' comment Simon but it was a negative and un-informed so not unexpeted i guess
My humour is here in vast proportions, fear not, i just can't tollerate constant negativity it does my head in! 'Glass half full' thats me Mr Halfempty

[jonb]

Christ spadge.

You are very paraniod. And very arrogant.

Why dont you "take things in jest" as you tend to quote.....

[pacerpete]

Spadge is a hero and obviously has a sense of humour, otherwise Colin would be buried in the back of his touring in a quarry !
