Dudlee's New Home!

Recommended Posts

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 :P
