Very early 1986 BMW E30 pre-facelift
83,000 miles
Full MOT and 100% pass on emissions.
£2200 ono
For sale due to loss of storage and I need funds for my other E30 project.
This has been my project car for the last year and half but is not completely finished. She is now a rolling project with full MOT, but need's some bits to complete and make tidy but quite an easy project (please see below).
Selling as an unfinished project, would suit someone who likes to wet-sand paintwork and refit bits of trim!
The unreliable factory carb is gone and it has a Weber 32/34 carb with manual choke which runs beautifully.
Unused since 2011, so in the last year I have done the following:
Weber 32/34 carb conversion full rebuild with genuine kit.
Manual choke
New fuel pump
New leads
New plugs
New distributer cap
New rotor Arm
New air filter
New oil and oil filter
New brake pads
New brake shoes
New antifreeze
New brake discs
New tyres
New clutch slave cylinder
New clutch master cylinder
All the rust has been cut out and new metal welded in including:
Outer rear arches
Inner rear arches
Front wings
Some inner engine bay welding
Factory jacking points removed and replaced with plates
Some rear valance work
Two rusty doors replaced with rust free ones
Better chrome bumpers were sourced and sections swapped - chrome bumpers are worth a fortune!
I have photos of the progress throughout. The wings were removed for inspection and were rust free underneath, the rear of the wings and inner wings were painted and shutz. After all welding elsewhere, all metal was red oxide primered painted and then Shutz sprayed.
Still to do:
It has a DIY respray - the respray was done at home and is not the best! It needs wet sanding and finishing.
The roof needs spraying still, the respray needs a tidy up.
Some overspray under arches.
Door fitment needs adjusting/shims swapping. They close but not 100% aligned.
One rear window is blue tint, the rest are bronze. I accidentally scrapped the wrong back window without checking the colour when I swapped the doors.
The boot seal leaks (don't all E30s!?)
Chrome trims need refitting (included
Boot carpet needs refitting (included)
Rear bumper fitment needs tweaking
Brake pad check light is on since fitting new brake pads
Please note -
Some of these jobs above may reduce if this doesn't sell straight away, I am still tinkering with it at the weekends
If I get it mint though, the price may go up
