    From rags to riches! Icelandic e30 saved

    Hey there! Been meaning to make a thread on here for quite a while but never had the chance,well now i do so here goes!

    Bought my first E30 earlier this summer (after wanting to buy one for 6 years mind you).It was looking a bit sorry for itself to say the least and would have been a complete write off in most countries but this being iceland it was (thankfully) still on the road.
    Well enough yapping heres some pictures!


    The day i picked it up





    As you can see it was looking a little....tired to put it nicely
    First thing was to tow it back to my garage since the fuel hose had split at a few places and after that it was time to buy a Mig welder and a big plate of steel and teach myself to weld,im missing most of the pictures from this phase due to changing phones but i had to basically rebuild the floor

    Ill try to find the pictures of this phase another time,but after that it was straight to paint




    Fresh out of the booth!



    Needless to say im pretty pleased with the outcome!

          Ill do that as soon as i find the rest!
          Im also planning on a engine swap soon along with some handling upgrades,after that ill most likely go full mtech1 and get some nice wheels on it.
          So there will be a few more updates down the road ;D

            That was quite a trashed E30 when you first bought it! Nice work so far!
