Doing great BMThug thanks pal , hope you're the same , gonna have to get in touch at some point to have a word with your paint guy i reckon, in no immediate rush but the Aircon and Paint are , like I say, pretty much all thats left to do now pal, and they're both in your domain - she's running so well since you had her in a few months ago

Time for an update, took her in to Apex on the shore and SJ there changed the springs all round and did some engine work, it really is the perfect height now - it was far too low for a chap approaching 60 - purrs like a kitten now (added a cat pic accordingly )- some seals were letting air in (im no mechanic) so it was very lumpy at idle, not any more . A new IS lip, new number plates as the old ones were bent and rusty a new OEM gear stick gator from BMW (had it with the ill fitting eBay ones) and a new gear knob to tidy the whole thing up inside - still mulling over paintwork as its a little rough close up in places and air con needs sorting still ..

If in Welly John at Auto38 always used to be the go to 04 979 6678 I got a set of houndstooth coupe door cards for a reasonable price, also rear seat (both bench and back) free to a good home

Done mirrors a few times before, tbh a rattle can is perfect for them, initially i got cans from supercheap and colour wasn’t even close, got colour matched at Autopaint in Henderson, near enough perfect

Thanks, must have been a mistake on shipping i reckon, no customs charges either which I was expecting, yea painted myself, its not hard, just have to slightly rough up clean and degrease , 3 coats of paint, 2 clear and have patience to let it all dry before handling

been a while but time for an update. The E30 is a garage queen now, weekend and sunshine car nowadays mainly due to a work relocation and also the rising value of the old girl, been after these for a while and eventually got round to getting some OEM iS skirts for her from CATuned in California (8 days door to door for $36USD shipping), some fitting and after pics, used the official clips for anchoring the underside but didn't use the factory grommet method as really didn't want to drill holes so got a recommendation to use windscreen adhesive which has worked fantastically - really pleased with how she looks

Just popped up on my Facebook , Weitz Industries breaking , its a coupe - https://www.facebook.com/WeitzIndustries/

@Ghost ChipPM me your FB name if pos so I can tell him what to look for

@Ghost Chip - just had a reply "Sorry, currently have nothing"

@Ghost Chip, just found old messages from last year and have just replied to it asking Brett to check his 'others' folder, don't know if he's still in business at all as only dealt with him fleetingly last year - Brett Burdett is the fellas name if u can find him

Great Video, lovely motor

the guy i know who knows of the seller says he wont be able to get in touch with him until back at work, he's a sparkie , so whenever builders get back to work hopefully should get to know if still available

Pic above is of the interior, have messaged the guy to see if its still available

few and far between nowadays, probably irrelevant but you ought to state coupe or sedan, I got mine from a wrecker convertible a few years ago rough as guts for $170 , got them fully reupholstered so final bill was around $2k. I am aware of a full coupe interior from I believe an Mtech1 that was available a short time ago, if its coupe you are after I can enquire if the interior is still available

... a bit bored at work today, made the kidneys slightly smaller and moved the number plate, I reckon it looks better , like I say, quiet day at work today ...
