Whohoo! Congrats, mate!
Pics... hmm, I still use Photobucket, paid, but they suck harder than Monica Lewinsky.

Re: New Project '87 e30 325i
I've been driving the e30 for the last month, done about 500 miles. It actually drives pretty well, of course it's a standard car so the suspension is a bit softer that most people would like but everything works as it should. So I got to the point of deciding what to do next, I could either get it painted and have a really nice e30, or should I leave it as is for someone else to have a nice project to finish. The quote for paint was £3k so I've made the decision to sell.
I'm finishing off a few bits before I list it on eBay within the next week or so. Basically it needs a full repaint, every panel has minor damage plus it needs a rear wheelarch and repair to the rear of the sill. Should make a nice project for someone, it will be a really nice car once painted. I'll post on the forum when it's been listed.
Then I can get back to my e21, maybe the engine will come back from the machine shop one day?

Choices choices. But yes that means additional funds for the E21!
Re: New Project '87 e30 325i
I listed the car on eBay at 5pm Yesterday, at 11pm I had cash in my hands and the car made more money than I expected so it was a good project in the end.
Now back to my e21, just waiting for the engine to come back, in the meantime I'm getting my e30 cabriolet out of storage.
