Yes hate the wheels, been offered a set of the bbs deep rim ones for it which are I'm pretty sure the original ones but I have yet to view them.

The petrol pump needs replacing on this as the one on it was seized, now very noisy so I think that will be the 1st thing to do on this.

Also the sunroof doesn't work and I've heard they're a pain to repair but it's all fun.

If its getting lowered I reckon those wheels its got will look brilliant.

Hmmm, seems the crankshaft oil seal is leaking, probably due to being layed up for so long.

Due to the seal needing replacement I may as well take the engine and box out completely, that way I can clean the engine bay up and change the colour of the car if wanted.

I'm unsure what colour to do it as of yet, I was thinking maybe orange?

Any ideas?

Had to be a solid colour though as I'm far too inexperienced to paint metallic.

Ahhh right, I can't spray metallic and I don't like British racing green in a solid colour.

If youre starting on some mechanicals Ste, change the alternator belt if its been sat up for a while. It also drives the water pump - Ive had one go on an E30 before, and it cost me a head gasket frown
