Linden 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2009 A few of you may have seen this on trademe and wondered who snatched it up (me for a great price i must add muhahaha!) according to last owner engine and trans serviced recently has also replaced: shocks in the rear with munroes, fuel pump,and indicator switch Ive since given it a much needed cut n polish as the paint had lost most of its shine! I wasnt too sure of the colour at first but its starting to grow on me and it handles great its the nicest auto (shudder) ive ever driven (problem that was discribed in the auction has now been resolved) nowhere near as fun as my 325 manual but its a hell of a lot tidier.. Oh and it will soon be lowered some more and may even have some tints put on. and so after a cut and polish and a quick drive here are the pictures!!!!!!!!!!

Jeddy 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2009 There was alot of interest in this on here when it was on TM. You should put your 2.5 and box into this, would be sweet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Linden 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2009 Selling the 2.5 manual for just over a grand to pay for most of this new one, it will be getting a manual and power upgrade soon once i get the money (pretty sure the kid who wants to buy it will crash it - Ive told him ill buy the engine/box back when he crashes it lol!)

Mark 178 Report post Posted July 21, 2009 Good to see it has been saved from being parted out by all us vultures! Nice work on reviving the paint.... can't wait to see it repowered to 2.5, it will be a beast. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 34 Report post Posted July 21, 2009 Looks awesome. Boot spoiler is not tech II, but I like it anyway - might even be better than tech II on a red car? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_BRS_ 208 Report post Posted July 21, 2009 Nice purchase dude! Sounds like its in the right hands to be looked after well. LOL at the piles of gravel and 2 lines leading up the the rear wheels in one of the pics. (Pic 5) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Linden 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2009 yeh im pretty stoked with it i wasnt sure if i'd be able to sell my 2.5 at first but this one is in mint cond including the interior (minus drivers seat has a few rips) and only 132kms on it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted July 21, 2009 Looks good, a bit of paint on here and there and she will be stunning, love red E30’s, not enough of them around. Weekend job #1, de-Chrome the window surrounds! Instant improvement for $20. I had a can of Blue non metalic paint mixed for my car the other day for touch ups and it was onlt $45! Would be epic with a 24valve. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Linden 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2009 I have always been a huge fan of dechroming, but ive never really paid attention to red cars so im a little mixed about this one... it definately needs the front and rear bumper repainting (when funds appear - if i dont paint the whole thing either black or white lol! ) and will get some new leads and rotor cap for it when i get paid on thursday Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
