smitty Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 So I've been looking for an e30 manual 6 cyl coupe for a while. Finally found this one for sale in Havelock North, pretty much right next to home: I'd even seen the car around a couple times and taken pictures: The problem being that I don't live at home anymore. I moved to chch for uni. Luckily enough my parents were happy to view the car for me and potentially pick it up. And with my luck the day before they view (and only a day after the guy posted the car to facebook) I get the news that the guy fell asleep while driving home from work and had an unfortunate encounter with a lamp post: But I decided fuck it I'll go for it anyway, I've been looking for so long and how hard can it be to fix? Also it's got some nasty rot under one of the tail lights: And some on the sunroof too: Anyway I'm looking forwards to Easter when I actually fly back home and get a good proper look at the car. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also along the line replaced shocks, fitted lowering springs, new radiator, 15" mesh wheels, and painted 1 wing mirror. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they the bbs 15” ones that come with higher spec e30s or after market? They look good either way They're actually knock off aftermarket models I think, definitely not the BBS Style 5s although to be honest I love them just as much, they're very unique. Anyway, small update. Fixed my exhaust leak. Next up is fixing the wacky brake issue... Also bought an e34 525i with the m20b25 engine that doesn't go (cranks but wont start) for $250, thats currently residing on the wrong island. Planning on building an m20b28 stroker using the 2.8 crank from an m52b28 out of an e36 and the conrods out of my m20b20 currently in my car still. Probably gonna be a big hassle but its worth a shot, and it was real cheap so hey. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
