Grant 4 Report post Posted January 30, 2011 That BBQ at Long Bay was good fun. My fondest memory was the purpose built BBQ trailer that someone brought with them. I'll try and find some photos. Great looking car! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grant 4 Report post Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) I suspect that this is your car in the background in this photo from the Bimmersport BBQ at Long Bay, which was actually in 2004? Edited January 30, 2011 by Grant Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bimmer boy 21 Report post Posted January 30, 2011 Ahahaha Gus, and Vernons E30 in the background. I remember someone throwing a bottle at it one night in town when people still did that.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grant 4 Report post Posted January 30, 2011 From the same BBQ. I think that all three of these E30's are now BMW race series race cars (at least 2 of the three are), I'm not sure of Dave's old 320 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you replace many parts in the restoration?to be honest, the black trim isn't the greatest, infact its next on the list... think the photos make it look alot better than it is.and yep, alot of this car is new or replaced... i was having a laugh the other day thinking about how its pretty much a different car now to the one i bought its had so much replaced Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
