kevinator9 57 Report post Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) Hi All Back on the E30 bandwagon after selling my '85 318i coupe. Love these little cars and have a few changes to make. It's stuck in Christchurch until I get a weekend to fly down and drive it up. Edited June 10, 2020 by kevinator9 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kevinator9 57 Report post Posted February 18, 2016 Started poking around to see what needs to be attended to. Ordered a whole bunch of stuff: New window washer pump, new coolant level sensor, brake pad wear sensors, LED bulbs for various lights, stainless steel brake lines, remote central locking system, complete air con setup and a new sunroof handle. Also colour matched the rear bumper and repainted the black rubber strips. Whole days work prepping and painting. Need another spare day to do the front bumper. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kevinator9 57 Report post Posted March 25, 2016 Picked up a parts car from Wellington. Manual converted 320i with an m20b23 transplant. Running one cylinder down though could be terminal for the b23. Robbing the good bits off it. Sun visors, door lock mechanism (now all my door locks and central locking work!) fog lights, 14" BBS including a spare and all centre caps! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just purchased our first home so car has been on the backburner On the positive side she gets to sleep inside now! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
