Default All Done - E30 = On the road :D

The E30 is officially finished build wise.

Only 3 things left to do on her

1 - flat the paint back and machine polish (this will be done next week)
2 - get the tracking done (tomorrow 08:30am)
3 - sort something with regards to the rear seat arrangement


I can't believe it - 4 months of hard work and sleepless nights with problems galore, and she is finally finished


Unfortunately, no pictures yet, as its too dark to snap

But tomorrow I will picture her for you all



Stu - She will be over your way soon too

Cheers for all the kind words People

Dan - a little carvery number is INDEED in order very soon Altho the map shouldn't change, just a checkover to make sure she is still running smooth


And for everyone who wants me to do an E30 cosworth for them - not a chance, never again, ever - i'm drained

I still can't believe how much you've done yourself in such a short space of time.
