Well done so far , your car looks stunning. Even better though, it's the same colour touring as mine and I am going low on air bags anytime soon and had planned to go with wide steelies too. They could be twins.
But seriously I will be needing loads of dimensions for struts, springs and wheels if you don't mind working with me. I have the full airbag setup waiting in my garage - just getting the engine swap done at present.
Also, I live in England but my wife is from County Antrim and we get over a few times a year. Will be there through Christmas for 9 days. Would love to get a look at your car.
Keep up the good work.

This is how all E30 Tourings should be in my book. What engine did you put in it? Tell me it's an M52...

The headlining looks great, bet it was a ball-ache getting it on straight though!

Im afraid its a dissapointing 1.6l

Thought it would be very hard but its all about taking your time

As said above, coilovers and short shocks are not fitted in them photos,
Only on 60mm springs on the front,
will be dropping it more shortly.

Got new seats for it.



Changed the centre, needs some more work to get it right.





also bust a sump so a sump guard was needed.




Failed the nct on a cracked windscreen, so as it was out there was a tiny bit of rust to sort.












Finally got it on the road last week.
Doing my driving test soon so keeping it high till after i pass.

Too busy with college to finish the mounts for the seats or shorten the struts

Where can I get some steel wheels like that? I have been looking for OE 17in steels and can't find anything

Nice E30! I feel your pain with the insurance

Cheers for the comments.
16's are pretty hard to come by, watch out for them in a scrappy off a renault.
