[Cotty]

Cotty, I hope you rodded that mean black A30 - what a beast!!

No I was more into Mk1 Cortinas

[schuey]

Polished slotmags??????? Old school

[Speedtouch]

Good move! I recall a mickey-take advert in Street Machine showing an A30/A35 parked up outside a cinema with a couple of dudes sitting on the bonnet " A streetcar named desire" was the slogan.

[Gortour]

Well done Max. I was 3 months short of 21 when I got my first BMW - a burgundy metallic E21 320, colour was called Rubinrot.
Mini Clubman for my first car, followed by an Allegro 1300, and a round-nose Mini.
Now on my 6th BMW.

Yeah cool, only used to take an hour and a half to polish each wheel by hand.

[bmwe30mtech]

Glad you found one in the end.

Im sure you will have a lot of fun modding it and learning with it, I loved my E30 as a first car. Its a great feeling when you get that first drive.

Congrats Max. Lovely looking car. My first was a Vauxhall Nova 1.2 Merit. O yeah! lol. The height of councilness. But I loved it. Still miss it now.

PS i learned neally everything i know about polishing from that car just to save it going pink.

[Kos]

Congraulations mate. Lovely motor you got there to get started with. Its in good hands im sure. Did you travel far for it?

[zimm_zimmer]

great car you got there mate, im glad to see you got one, is insurance bad for a first car or are you yet to sort that out then?? i hope to come to some events when all is sorted with mine so hope to meet you soon

[1an]

Max looks a nice car, get the grill sprayed black though, are you going to keep it the same colour? i hope you do as that is a very nice colour. (at least it isnt the same as mine )

[maxfield]

Eko, yes! Drop me a PM.

The grill will get sprayed balck. Never knew how easy it was to take off!

Insurance isn't too bad for a 1.8. Well from the quotes...

Mods will arrive shortly

[oakey]

Sweet first car! Lucky sod! enjoy it

[320Touring]

Nice one Max

best of luck with it

[1an]

max all it needs is to be de=badged on the back, an iS lip and some 15inch bbs's done in black like mine

[delboye30]

Nice looking motor Max, When are the splitties going on

[maxfield]

1an it will be a bit different to yours. Although it will have an iS lip and 15" BBS.

delboy - I won't be going splitties on this as I plan on a bit of a track car. Watching only fools and horses as it happens

[1an]

what your plans then max? pm me as im intrested.

should be fun on the track if you get a decent suspension set-up and you will surprise quite a few people.

[maxfield]

You have PM.

[dom-1984-320i]

Nice on max, looks like a nice little project to get stuck into. so how come you have gone for an auto btw?

[maxfield]

If it was my choice it wouldn't be an auto.

But for a solid shell like this with a decent suspension and new tyres I'm not complaining. I will have a donor car for interior and manual conversion soon.

well it looks like you have a good car to start with so good luck with it all.

[Jon_Bmw]

Nice one max, are you going to sink as much money into this as the Veedub boys do then?

[maxfield]

I won't be spending a lot on this. Just a a bit of track fun. I will spend a lot of money on an E30 one day... Most likely an M3...

TBH, would rather spend the money on a business or bricks and mortar.
