Brought in semi unknown condition, the guy I brought it off (Jimmy) on here said it needed new bearings so I assume that is a full overhaul. I paid $100 for it a year or so ago, will let it go for $50

Reminds me of this: God Will Roegge is good.

Someone take this stuff off me before it goes to the scrap metal dealers and/or dump. A set of rust free, tidy Calypso Red E30 doors (for a 4 door) included manual winders inside + glass etc A Calypso Red E30 front guard, can't remember what side One of those Single -> Twin exhaust tips from Superheap, been used and subsequently cut off but someone could reuse it GONE Getrag 260 face lift box, needs a rebuild GONE Front E30 325i sway bar, no mounts or metal brackets, just the links A set of 4 door E30 seat belts, all have been used to get a warrant M40 factory air box with air filter in mint condition Facelift E30 tow bar with brackets GONE Cheers, Nathan

AKG 75D urethane engine and gearbox mounts in....best money I have spent on this car so far. The difference is incredible, it even feels like it handles better, even sounds better Fantastic products. Awaiting on some bits from Max's Pelican Parts order including a brand new rear shifter arm mount along with a brass sleeve bush for the gearbox selector knuckle from Jason. After this week I can finish my wheels in time for Taupo then get some on the car pics. DTM mirrors should be here this week all going well. More pics when exciting things happen.

Buy this too, just as helpful as a manual, but get both. http://www.amazon.com/BMW-E30-Restoration-...9309&sr=8-1

E30 trailing arm bush replacement
Forrest replied to oscar90's topic in Brakes, Suspension & Steering
Tried this? : http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....st&p=248683 Also, I just cleaned out the trailing arm with a round file and that seemed to help, also a BFH and plenty of lube always works good luck I am glad I never have to do all these sh*t jobs on a E30 for a long long time -

Ta da, (abeit sh*t pretend photoshop). I am stoked with how they turned out, the paint finish is a little light in places but I am past the point of caring now to be honest. Also I am glad I went black, they look so badass in person beside the car. Two of these babies are completed, what a utter PITA it is putting them back together and sealing them properly.

^ Was just about to post that. Irony is a funny thing.

^ More than likely the one Kerry (bmpower) sold a while ago

Too bad you didn't say rim job for extra lol's

There were never any 15' E30 steelies Oli, only 14's

Just to prove I'm not calling bullshit, mine is identical to this. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.as...620&ed=true More than likely will hold onto it anyway since there was no interest.

Idiot things previous owners have done to your car.

Try turps and rag. Turps softens silicone (learn't this while rebuilding my BBS wheels) -
^ Haha don't worry, Tom and Jerry are in perfect condition. Think it just because I have been driving modern cars for months and forgotten what a E30 feels like
-
^ All the same except facelift ones have the headlight level adjuster knob. Can easily be blanked out though.

The bitch is back. Still goes like a freight train. Only problem is I am finding the power steering terribly stiff, would that be due to it sitting for a while? Could a rebleed and refill be in order? Not much more to do before Taupo!!!!! Some sh*t pics and trainspotters will see a few different additions, the platanengrun princess as it stands: Cheers
