project e30 touring

[chiefton]

well picked this up for a price I couldn't resist.

love the retro look of these,was after a coupe/saloon but this was to good to turn down!!!!

picking up next week,so have not had a proper look at it yet,excited tho not sure what to do........

fefo major valet in and out,
got some black axe ex8 multispoke slightly concave alloys coming for basically free (gotta fix a mates clio....winner)
lows maybe coilovers but more than likely 60mm drop on shocks and springs,
smoked repeaters all round,
can't decide between 2.5 or 2.8 lump in near future (has 1.6 atm lol )
new seats as poverty spec cloth is ripped,

needs an mot and taxing. hopefully will go through no problems,looks like a clean one,Chao who I got it off had metal brake pipes done apparantly.

s yeah can't wait to get stuck in should be a good 'un

Yes nice motors i had one as a tempory runabout for 7 months was in black a really nice motor 1.6 pity was auto was a little sluggish very reliable though.

[chiefton]

I love the look of it, looks old skool lol, but looks like a good start can't wait to get stuck in!!!

got my eye on some new seats for front as cloth is ripped, not sure whether or not to strip back out as have an mg (family wagon) and my cherry rallye so think I may strip back out,possible cage I'm thinking hmmm choices choices haha

Looks nice

Differently be fun for skids when done

[chiefton]

hopefully will all be good underneath!!!! gonna get it lookin good then get a bigger lump to put in probably a m50b25 (I think still researching lol ) from an e34 preferably as don't have to change sump then and meant to be slightly easier.

wanna give it a good service and couple of bits like roof lining sagging,different oil change and more cleaning etc etc until I can drive it legitimately!!

[Matt]

there used to be a guy that drift these at my local track, had a matt black one and a white one. both sounded pure filth.
be watching this for sure!

[chiefton]

well got the rooflining stuck back up now looking much better!
not perfect but it will do for now can see out the back window through the mirror now.

also got some carbon look kidney grills which I think look good. sorted out a bit of rust on the tailgate also then painted around the boot to protect further and refitted number plate holder (also given lick of paint).
