Picked her up last Saturday. Had the cam belt changed and serviced. Needs a few more things to sort her out. The steering is shocking as the rubber knuckle has play, track rod end has play and part of the rack.
On the whole she is sweet and just needs a little tidying on the inside, and the removal of the daft dial covers. Here are a few pics of here clean.

Looking good mate, and quite a rare beast.
Macau blue is the best E30 colour in my opinion and really suits yours my good sir ------------- http://www.bmwccscotland.co.uk/cars/e30/sportevo.html" rel="nofollow - E30 M3 Sport Evo III |

Hard top is back on, but not a BMW one a wisseman version, harder wearing i feel and no chance of scratching the paint when storing.
Oh yes it is an original motorsport convertible Curling tongs!!! ------------- Toby http://www.bmminiparts.com - New Genuine BMW & Mini OEM parts - www.bmminiparts.com 1987 E30 M3 with turbo being added |
