e30's in Richmond

[mccor023]

yup, the vert was probably me, especially if it was on rs reps. i also have the laguna coue in my sig.

we should all get together some time soon.

hows your car running matt?

All good Jry, I think we need to meet up at some point. See if you can help diagnose a clunk sound I have coming from the rear. Did you ever get your guibo installed? Id still like to help out if I can.

I see its been awhile for this thread, but I am new to E30 ownership and in RVa. free time is elusive for me, but I am looking to meet some locals.

Patrick and Jerry at Bimmer Rescue looked over my '91 318i and my clunk coming from the rear ended up being the differential bushing.

Hey everyone, I've been stupid busy lately with new back in school and new job.
But, I wanted to ask here vs starting a new thread if anyone new a decent shop in Richmond for some serious rear end work. I hate paying someone else because I have done most of the work, but I don't have time and thanks to new job have $$ to finish rear end.
I am looking to have guibo, csb, subframe, trailing arms, an one other thing I forgot. So, if anyone knows a place that would not rape me labor I could get it all knocked out.
Paging Jerry if you get bored and wanted the job!

[McGyver]

i may be interested in doing some work. i can easily do all of that except the subframe bushings.

[mccor023]

Bumping this up, I have seen a lot of E30's around lately. anyone interested in doing a meet? My car is kinda running ok, but I got it new shoes so i feel comfortable showing it off...

[hendrik]

I have been wrenching on the e30 in the garage, haven't finished it yet. I am fairly new in town and would be down for a meetup and some beer drinking!

[McGyver]

Whats up man? I'm jerry and live right off VCU campus. I'd be down for wrenching or a drive. I heard Kurt's trina take his car out after his recent mods...

Nice to meet you Jerry, I am Willem. I live not far from you in Carrytown off the blvd. My shop where the e30 is is over by the airport.
I had a e36 too, but someone decided to smash into it when it was parked on Cary. So ya... looks like I have a e36 donor car now.. haha

[McGyver]

well that sucks to hear about your e36, but they do make great donor cars! let me know if you want a hand with something, im just sitting around all week putting off finishing my front sway bar bushings. its without a doubt my most hated repair...

[mccor023]

Jerry let me know if you need a hand with your bushings, we both know I owe you a few. My schedule is pretty flexible this week.

[McGyver]

shoot, any time you dont mind coming by would be great. i'm off all this week anyway.

[hendrik]

Front sway bar bushings? They don't seem so hard, but that could just be me. Anyone want to meetup for a beer later or do some wrenching tomorrow? Hit me up!
