tire 10 Report post Posted April 7, 2009 That was a fukin good deal! How does the rear damage look - structural or na? You might just make a profit from an e30 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

3 SERIES 93 Report post Posted April 7, 2009 Ahh, this is what youve been going on about lately That was a fukin good deal! How does the rear damage look - structural or na? Exactly what I was going to ask... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamez 2147483647 Report post Posted April 7, 2009 (edited) 2k and all damage is aesthetic, nothing a sledge hammer and Jack wont fix only problem is some prick has cut the parcel tray, but only 1cm on half of it, either side. I will sand it down and paint it and it wont be noticeable, with a bit of luck that is interior is surprisingly mint except for the driver/ front passenger seat will be up for sale once done. (maybe ) with a bit of luck it will be registered by the ANZAC cruise, or i will use the D plate Edited April 7, 2009 by Jamez Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If your car does not have a WOF you could still get pinged!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 35 Report post Posted April 8, 2009 I see it is missing the small tech II piece in front of the pass side rear guard. Weird because so is mine (until I get around painting the new bit I bought that is). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jamez 2147483647 Report post Posted April 8, 2009 no lsd just ya basic run of the mill 3.46 diff, sooooo good for cruising, only revs 3k in 3rd @ 100k hopefully i can get it back to a condition that will get it re-registered but if worse comes to worse i will re-sell the whole car, but hopefully i can get it back on the road, cause other than the ding in the back its mint condition bar the front seats Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bravo 35 Report post Posted April 8, 2009 That's a steal BTW. Kit plus motor plus manual conversion sold and you would be well in front and still have the shell and rest of the car Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamez 2147483647 Report post Posted April 9, 2009 (edited) Update 1: took rear bumper off, damage is very minimal mostly just broken clips (bumper only that is, other than that its a total mess) hit the rear back into place re sculpted where the tail light sits found some rust under the battery right on the corner of the car, will need to weld some metal over it then bog over and paint cleaned interior, dash has no cracks tomorrow im getting headlights and taillights for it, also going to be continuing panel beating, with a bit of luck will be done the panel beating by tomorrow night sorry no pics as i don't have a camera at the moment but will take some tomorrow edit- looking to buy some leather seats in black as the front seats have had it, how much do they go for?
