Grant 4 Report post Posted August 8, 2010 To save Jon posting every second post, can we just safely assume that should you need anything, the chances are he will have it. Give him a call, his number is listed (very) often in this thread. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 35 Report post Posted August 8, 2010 lol, Grant. Good call. Whiteboard in garage is a must - if you are really cheap, grab an old fridge door from the dump and hang it on the wall. We have a sparky in the family, so old fridges get put to good use - chilly bins for on the deck, chuck a padlock on one and you've got yourself a great, solid cabinet, toolbox, gun locker, etc. Things to do on the e30? It'd possibly be easier to say that the gearknob is perfect, and the rest needs work? Seriously though, when your car is your hobby it's never finished and there's always things to do. Right now mine is in winter hibernation, but some new paint and a minor oil leak round the tappet cover are the only things I've got planned for spring.

simke 0 Report post Posted August 8, 2010 Need: Hopefully nothing for a while, spent almost 4k on servicing and new tires in the last couple of months Want: Repair curbing and repaint 2 wheels (2 already done), tint windows (doing it soon) and a full respray (won't be happening soon, imagine it won't be cheap).

Yea the current one has been stripped and the shell is buggered so a complete new one would be the way to go I think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
