im 26 im a mechanic and mot tester and have had lots of cars over the years mostly vw and audis but after changing the timing chain on a red 318is e30 at work that had done a genuine 278000 miles!!! i was well impressed what good order it was in and enjoyed caining it round the block when id done it!!
so i bought my first e30 in march on ebay! (mistake?? yes.) apart from 3 pics on ad. i bought unseen! in the ad he made it sound like it had only just round out of tax and test, but infact it had been stood for nearly 2 and a half years!!!!!! yes he got neg feedback!!!!! its a manual 89 320i touring in lachs silver with 15 inch bbs wheels. for £260
stuff ive done; repiped all the brakes. new rear discs ,pads, shoes, cables. new radiator. tyres all round, budgets on the back yokos on the front. new back box and tail pipe trims. s/h service ind board. usual smoked indicators, new 318is fibreglass front chin spoiler and eyebrows. front shocks, brake fluid change. sump gasket. servce. cambelt and all rollers and auxs. had boot lid and n/s/r door painted.
oh and im about to do the petrol tank cus it pisses out of the rotten bits if i put more than 12 quidsworth in it any words of warning? got new tank at trade £90. 2.7 hours book time apparetly???
so basically i could have just gone out and bought a good 325 touring for £700. and saved myself loads of bollo*ks!!!
sorry to waffle on.
Steer from the rear!
