GP trademe funnies thread is the best

Just put these on trademe. Go for gold! Came of my 325i e30. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=236850392

Yea that car is in top notch condition.

Thats real easy eh

Very interested. What condition are the tyres in?

Yea in my eyes it's still looks like more of a holden than a bmw

***SOLD*** to "random guy"

These came on the E30 I bought and I want to sell them to fund a new set of wheels. They rubbed on the guards, but rolling the guards would of solved this. The make is "Mak." I'm wanting $300 for them at the moment but open to all reasonable offers. 3 of the tyres are kingston and one is a direzza. They all have treat left. The wheels have signs of curbing. I'll let the photos do the talking. Pick up in Hamilton, I could drop off in Tauranga. I could possibly even drop off in Auckland if you wait long enough. Two of the tyres have tears on the side wall, I'm not sure if they are fixable or not. Valcanised repairs might do, they cost about $45.

You've one of them. BEEP BEEEEP BEEEEEEEEP.

Car went into the paint shop today and should be back wednesday. Also I sent the flywheel in to get lightened, and managed to get a Recaro seat out of an EVO ( but already modded to fit an e30 ) for $50. This has to be one of the cheapests projects ever. $200 manual conversion, $50 seat, $200 suspension, I aint complaining!

318ti drivers are usually pretty bad.

Just do a upsidedown engine conversion so you can still check your oil, it's all over e30tech.

I'll bring the soldering iron and some lead around and help, but only if you help me with my rx8 suicide door conversion k. I needa borrow ya grinder, and I'll need a ride to Bunnings to get some hinges.

Im thinking I might do simular, and turn my two door into a four door by getting the suicide doors off a RX8 and hooking them up.

Good point. Perhaps he can cut the back wall of the boot out while he is at it and have steps going into the boot?

My lame photoshop skills. Looked better with 4 doors to be honest. It may need a cert, because it is kinda structual I guess, i dunno.

It would be different. It would be rather ugly as well.

Nah, Im guessing Jamex.. Just got all of it in now, it's low as $*%^

Here are some pics of the shortened munroe shocks and springs I got. Nearly finished installing them, one more front to go. Previous owner only did 10,000km. As you can see the springs are a fair bit shorter than the yellow ones I had in them, I think the old ones are apex springs. Hopefully I should be getting some sump scraping action! ( heh hope not ) NOTE: Yes they are captive, in the photo the shock was not bolted up.

Going to install them this evening so I'll post some pics up them. I also just got a Manual conversion kit from pick-a-part. Has a near new master and slave cylinder. All it needs is a clutch kit. And guess how much i paid... $200!!!!!! ( including a front lip as well =D )

Picked up some Shortened munroe shocks and lowering springs today for $200. Got some bottle caps to put on it. And tomorrow im picking up a manual conversion kit... found one for very cheap..... this is all going well =D

Still a bargain at $0 With not much work you'd have it mint...

Bentleys are generally better than Haynes. Last one i bought for my motorcycle I got for $5 off trademe. No way I'm paying $69 for a book either lol.

Day Two Basically got on top of the rust at the rear of the car. With further inspection there is a bit of rust creeping around the boot. Should not be hard to tackle. It is all just surface rust so rust converter will do the trick, and I will just cover it with black. Because you cant see it with the seals over it, or with the boot closed, just a minor touch up should do. The bottom rear left and right are done, they need a final bog ( to get it perfect ) but I will leave that to the paint shop for when they paint it. First time I've ever done any repairs like this so I hope they are ok, nothing flash, but I did clean the area as much as I could before starting. Tomorrow my plans are to get a price on panel and paint, including front guards being rolled. I also want to get the spoiler back on, it had one of those bigger ones, you might be able to see it in the picture above, but I changed it so only the bottom part will be on the car. I painted it with just saturn black because, one, it saves me money, and two, it should not look too bad considering all the chrome around the windows has been done already.

Amen! I am considering rocking out the bottle caps until I can get something better.
