AN E30 Fan 1 Report post Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) Well, after hunting for a nice clean E30 for the last few months, Nick (e36.) PM'd me and told me Dudlee would be for sale soon so I had a chat to Max (tastic) who was selling it for Nick and on Wednesday we went to have a look at it. Initally I was put off by the high kms but I took it for a drive and it drove like it had done less that half the kms, aswell as the stack of receipts that go all the way back to 1994! I gave Glenn a call and we took it out to him the following morning and he gave it the all clear minus a few things that will need doing to tidy it all up. So by Thrusday afternoon, I had my first car! It's a 1986 318i 5 speed manual, Cirrausblau (Cloud Blue), 226,000kms, Manual Sunroof, Manual Windows, Blistein Shocks and King Springs in the front, KYB shocks and standard springs in the rear, BBS RA with 195/55 tyres brand new. Anyway compulsory pics Things to do: Reupholster the front drivers seat/purchase a new one Get a new sunroof winder (other one has snapped off but you can just clip it back on) Clear front and side indicators Repaint the wing mirrors and front lip Reupholster the gearknob/buy a new one and fix the gearboot (doesn't have the clip part that holds it down) New Windscreen (has a small chip and a quite large scratch) Maybe lower the rear a little too Just a general tidy up all round really. Big thanks to Glenn for checking the car over, Max for getting up at 8am after a big night to let us take it out to Glenn and Nick for selling it to me Edited January 14, 2011 by AJ_D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
