How have I missed this thread. Great work, glad you got it Mike. Looks awesome. I await the end result, better make an appearance at Le Mans. I may have to pop over in the next few weeks to have a poke around it before work commences. I also have some small clio jobs for beer tokens when you're bored of touching German and want to go back to French 
ps. I'm at a loose end tomorrow if you want someone to make tea and annoy you.

Lol - just saw Nick, he just picked them up. That will f**k him off as it would have saved him the trip. Was good to catch up with him though.
Flamer only needs a diagnosis, and a general sniff about. Want to remove fogs and liners at some point but its not urgent. Priority needs to be 'ze german'. I'll trundle over tomorrow mate for a catch up, yours or your grans?

Gave the old girl a clean today. I'm actually amazed at the condition of it!
Firstly, a massive thanks to Oli (Cub172 on here) for his help today!
Garage started like this:
Garage cleaned out and car tucked up.
Look at this paintwork!
Strip down starts this week! Can't wait!

No worries Mike, i didn't really help much, and I had the chance to exercise the inner gypsy in me by salvaging a few clio parts headed for the tip Was good to go for a beer and meet 'layer cake bob' as I shall now refer to him. Watching him try to lift the saxo engine as hungover as he was, was very amusing. The revelation of 'herbertez' was good banter as well. Nicholas - hero surname.
The e30 is awesome, I can't get over how good the condition and paintwork is. Couldn't find rust anywhere, even the usual suspect places were clean and rust free. Let me know when you start taking it apart for mechanical restoration and I'll trundle over again. A great purchase and I can't wait to see it 'rolling' to Le Mans avec a white suited, aviator wearing small ginger man at the wheel.

Spent today having another tidy-up, cleaning session/ niggle fixing.
First of all, brakes had seized on again, so will be stripping them this week.
Had to tow it out of the garage, lol.
The drivers side windows wouldn't open for some reason, so took the door card off and put 12v to the motor. Worked fine. Then went back and checked the fuse and all was fine. Took it out, rubbed the contacts an put it back and that fixed it, lol.
All windows down for ease of access.
Nick and I then went mental with the interior cleaner, an agitating brush and a wipe down cloth. Results were good but no pics until I've finished!
We then set about trying to fire it. Just to see. Changed the oil, put a battery on it and Turned it over and it wasn't getting fuel. Will have to investigate why this week.
I love this car.

Are they two piece? I used a guy Tyler off of here knows and he was very reasonable to acid dip, powder coat and bake, then re-fit tyres.

He's dead cheap and the quality is great, what size wheels? I'll get you a price for tyres off if you want? So just drop off, have them done and pick up, you sort the tyres?

I'll get you a price tonight/tomorrow mate.

Nice project, love those wheels. Congrats on running it.
BOOM! Gotta love German engineering.
On a side note, in the failsport gang: which one of you is Dom, which one is Brian and which one is Jessie the mad scientist who "rips apart the block"?

Great Car I had one even with 188k On the clock it still Pulled Like a train. Rear wheel driving was fun and Both scary at times
It won't be any more scary than Budgie's old 328i touring! Unnatural how that would kick out lol
Lol It`s the single most scary Moment of My whole life when the back kicked out at 65 mph with no warning Lol
