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 ...

it was 1967 I seem to recall - UK number plate was YWJ90G - 1300cc and went like a rocket albeit a noisy one - yep hard top, I used to keep it in my bedroom during the summer (the top not the car )

.... a bit of a stretch to have kept these as this pic is from around 1987 but have very fond memories of the Spitfire for sure, with my brothers Escort - soldt he Spitfire for around 800 GBP at the time and it ended up being put through the back of a garage as the guy who bought it was wheel spinning on his driveway

you've seen this one for a guess .. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/2707555814?bof=vaehde5e

straight front valance ? what that worth Brent? my lads after a straight one for his 1990 coupe - same aren't they ?

Thanks guys, I picked these up last weekend from the same guy listed above, seems he knows wreckers and sells on Recaros that come up, doesn’t ask the earth for them either, got these for $500 no rips or bolster wear

cool thanks, yea, just seen your build thread, those Recaros are pretty much what I'm after, can live without fishnets I guess if these come up, will keep my eye on Mitsi threads to see if any come up, theres some on FB marketplace but are too pricey as they need work, cheers

Hi all, putting the feelers out if anyone selling any Recaro LS/LX type seats, fishnet type of pos. For the lads E30 coupe for a 21st prezzy later this year, Can get some upholstery fixed if needs be, anything around? (Aucks area ish) thanks

My lads 1990 316i factory manual was written off late last month, its at Weitz Industries now waiting to be dismantled after lockdown i understand, everything you want is on it, might be a bit late for you now though unfortunately if you’ve already ordered from overseas
