ive bought another E30

Yeah no problems if anyone needs to know anything, If i don't know (as i work there) i can find out.

That flyer is terrible though. It's not a product of my hands. :-)

Ian, tech-1 al the way!! Thay look the best IMO!! And about the suspension, you can get a 30mm drop BOGE spring kit for about £80, thats what I've got at the mo and it looks fine!!

another wee update

a wee teaser    15" + 7.5j-et25 MiM wheels



  ..DAM!!  i should have polished the car first, before i took they pic's!  

should have all 4 wheel's tomorrow then in a few week's my mate in chameleon powder coaters is gonna give them a refurb & a coating of high finish silver 
need 10mm spacers for the front, gonna fit 195/55/15 on them for a slight streach look 

ive now also got a repair panel for fixing the rear arch  tiz getting there slow N steady

Edited by 523 iAN

yip lowering is on the list  

 

lower, clear light's, tech-1 kit and a few suttle item's colour coded mirror's and stuff

bigger job's first though repair rear arch, MOT, alloy's all sorted then the above

UPDATE

treated my E30 to another set of alloy's, 15" Mille Miglia .. (ive now got 5 set's of wheel's for a car that ain't even on the road!) .. bought via ebay, just been refurbd and shod with new 205/55/15 tyres 

gave it a wee polish toooooo

a "panel beaten freind" is fitting a new rear wheel arch tomorrow, and today i bought a set of unused "split look" lowering spring's from Boyd (m3Cecotto)

sooo i might see if i can fit them tomorrow while Liam is fitting the new arch repair panel 

PS ... you gotta see how it's lookin, i'm as chuffed as .. a chuffed person   it's been a struggle at time's to buy some part's but to see how it is looking now pushes all they thought's right "oot ma heed"
 

all going to plan i'll post pick's tomorrow night of the rear arch work and hopefully of my E30's new sleek, lower look  then it'll be MOT (next thursday) and if i'm not working i'll show my work of at the next meet in April

Looking good Ian,you are a busy man.

Looks a good job on the arch Ian. It's coming on.  Prefer the Hartge style wheels myself, but those look really smart. Different.

Looks a bit low at the back though? About 35mm? :-)

I was down that way today.  They're dreadful.  Miles of roadworks and not a bugger doing anything.

No cause for embarassment, you've turned round a car that was heading for the breakers into a smart wee cab that'll survive.  Cause for a bit of self satifaction I'd say.

thank's Gary, maybe this time next year both our car's will be ready

do you think i'll see a difference in height once the new spring's (red one's) have settled down?

fitted the front's tonight

fitted the rear's last night

just to fit a replacement full beam lever and a reg-plate bulb and i think that's it ready for it's MOT?
