Never had thought about owning a e30, but seen a dolphin grey one at a car show and my son said "Dad I'm going to get one of those". Well true to his word, 5 weeks later this one turned up for sale locally and it was purchased.
Tidy enough with very little to do, we took in a couple of shows before winter. Spent a few months underneath cleaning and painting drivetrains, suspension and the whole underside including arches got painted in dolphin grey.
few pics from various stages..
6" of snow fell and she managed about 20yrds along the driveway, before going back in
dreaded MOT test which I'm pleased it passed, inspector was so impressed by the exhaust note, he revved at every opportunity
underside got treated to paint and waxoiled.
every metal component got bare metal zinc primed and painted
suspension painted and having 2nd thoughts on the shock colour:D
diff wasn't removed, but just cleaned and painted
bit of messin' with photoshop
christmas pressie was a polished top strut mount
boot has the standard 15" alloy, originals got sold when PO. got 17" alpinas
well thats her.. now tucked away for a couple of the winter months.
Have no regrets in buying this and will hopefully be an investment
