Hi, I have owned my e30 cab since November however I haven't even driven it yet as it's been off the road for 4 years. Well today a good friend sent it for its mot and it passed. I had to change all the brakes (which I would have done anyway) but other than hat no real major expenditure. Not the fun starts and I will get it back on the road for next month.

Thanks for the reminder, I must admit I didn't think of the timing belt. It's had a full service and all the fluids changed so should be good. It's been a good find tbh, I will add so e photos once I sort the paint out.

More updates, well I have just secured insurance and will be waiting until the end of the month to tax her. This gives me time to work my magic with detailing stating with
Removing the last 10 years contaminants
Snow foam
Wash
Clay bar
Paint cleanse
Lots of correction
Paint prep
Couple of dents to remove
Seal and wax
That should keep me a little bit busy
