Brook-e30 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2009 (edited) Hey guys. Im new to bimmersport, just got my restricted licence about a week ago which means i can finally drive round my e30!!! (1988 316i) Had the car about a year or so now (since i was 13 nearly 14). When it first arrived it was a mess i bought it off some 16 year old who in 4 weeks had managed to put dents in every panel from having bottles thrown at it and people jumpng on roof etc. Also it arrived with no back springs therefore it was scraping along the ground and was green stickered. The car was a mess but the guy hadn't owned it long enough to ruin the engine. Although the diff is stuffed and gearbox and clutch are all pretty worn. over the last year i've been slowly bring it back up to scratch, Dad and I had managed to get the whole body of the car looking mint with a bit of help from the dent man (works mirracals). Dad and i sanded it and primed until it was ready for the paint shop. (got it painted the original colour) 316i 1988, Coupe, done 170 000kms, manual Bought some factory recaros from sd European and got them re clothed M tech II steering wheel Recently bought some new 17"s to replace the bottlecaps. ( 17x7.5 40p, was suprised the offset fitted although it did need spacers on the front) King springs (Havent yet shortened the shocks, anyone know of somewhere cheap where i can get this done??) Pioneer head unit, sony 6x9s, 2x12" fusion sub with amp. 4" big bore uniden alarm I hope to get a m tech II kit one day Tints are coming in a week or so. So thats my ride, hope you like it!!! Look foward to talking to you all! Edited June 13, 2009 by Brook-e30 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
