You would be confused...

And Jparkr when are you going to update on your restoration?

[kenika65]

She is alive!!!!

After charging the battery, draining the fuel, replaing both fuel pumps and finding an unhooked reference sensor connection she fired right up and purrs.

The previous owner changed the oil, replaced fuel lines and filter, installed new injectors, and bought a new battery.

Once she fired up I found that the 5/16 braided collant return line was so brittle it needed replaced, other then that no leaks or problems.

Next is to wipe down the interior and claybar the paint.

Then registeration and inspection!!!

The driver door panel was off because the original owner thought that the window motor was bad but the only problem was that the window lock button was pushed lmfao!!!

So all windows work flawlessly.

Will post pics of progress and soon to replace all fluids, timing belt and all front seals for good measure.

Rockin. Waiting for pics...

Alright, swapped in a new expansion valve and cleaned the a/c button connections, retrofitted and the A/C is now freeezing!!!!

The expansion valve was stuck because the old oil had become rock hard in the valve, the switch had become corroded so it just needed a light sanding, I also sanded the window switches to prevent any issues.

I also took my abs relay apart and soldered in a new safety wire, now the abs light is off!!!

My girl friends birthday is on the 25th which is when im surprising her with it so all will be done by then!!!!!!

If I could find some real time ill go through my pics and post em up!!!

Yes it is I love it, everything about it is new, like the door locks they are so quiet and quick, the doors open and close sooo easy, when you start it you almost have to look at the rpm gauge because the motor is so quiet you cant hear it running, when you turn the a/c on there is no sound it just works and when you click the recycle button there is no sound it just works lol I love it too bad its an auto or id be the one driving it,,, but once she gets a different car in the future then ill throw some euro bumpers on there and a 5speed!

If you dont change your timing belt soon, you will be wishing you had.

[kenika65]

^^^ Lol already in place, along with all front seals, waterpump and belts

And Jparkr when are you going to update on your restoration?

Oh sorry, I never saw this. The car is done. I just need to get the pictures organized. :-/ and I'm busy with my business and also lazy when I have time to relax lol

[TDE30]

Man, sounds nice. Unless I am in love with Sabine, I'd probably not pass a 60k E30 off to my gf. Hope she enjoys it.

Pics?

[kenika65]

^ dont worry she is an enthusiast! She is going to flip I told her a while back that someone else bought the car from underneath us and she almost cried soo I expect her to cry when I surprise her with it!

And she is such a slow driver its funny if anything someone would have to run in to her which is why it is going to be appraised and fully insured, classic car insurance!

[rThor432]

She is going to flip

If that's the case, let her drive one of your other cars.

I expect her to cry when I surprise her with it!

Nice.
