Lovely Touring indeed......I've always liked the looks of the Touring E30, I've been looking for a decent one around here for some time, but just found crappy examples.
Your car looks amazing, you've got the perfect formula for a sporty and utility car as well. Congratulations.....

By the way..Are you from Sctoland? I've noticed the
tiny St. Andrew's flag on your reg plate. The same flag for us here in Tenerife, the Canaries.....

Best regards...

Love those e30 touring, is it 4wd? Thats the only thing that makes them even better. Either way welcome to the forums. I always have e30s and love them even more than e21s ( SORRY JEROEN )

Make sure you post those pics of the rebuild and keep us updated.

cheers Dips.. it's getting there. its changed hands my wee brother has it now as I'm wanting to put all my time to the tech1. I've acquired another set of hartge rims to go onto the sport so I'm well chuffed.

once the sports finished ill be looking for another touring to tinker with but no ideas what way it will go yet..

what E30's are you working on at the moment?

sounds like fun.. how far on with it are you?

my misses wants me to diesel one for her so wondering how easy it would be to put the 2.5td in out of her 525tds and if it would be worth while.

did think about trying to find a 324 td and doing a RHD conversion or even finding one with a good lump I could strip out and fit into a RHD shell. just had a look on your post.. looking really nice. why the change of strut brace? does the double tube not clear the trumpets ?
