Did you keep the bonnet on the car the whole time Ste?
Yes mate, no masking tape was used either, I used the edges of the middle of the bonnet as a guide for the black then rubbed down to get a straight line either side. The bonnet was up when I sprayed it.
Bought a new windscreen wiper motor and fitted it. Must thank Andy for lining the damn wipers up properly
Got rear lights working properly.
Just got these headlights, will be fitted tomorrow, I only needed one but these are a newer set so will have to replace both. Bosch ones too which is a plus
As I have been delivering a van I sold to Preston today the car was locked up in the MOT bay so I'll be getting it back tommorow and repair will commence
Realised at last minute that the washer bottle and motor were missing so Wirral spares were at hand with a replacement prompto. Cheers guys
I'll start work on this tonight, I gotta take the propshaft and gas tank off so dilly can do the welding and brake pipes, the amount of welding is ridiculous. May as well replace the crankshaft oil seal while it's stripped, I gotta take the damn carpet out too
Think I'll be selling this one and getting a newer model, this is a 1987 and I don't like the colour red on these anyway.
Fuel tanks are steel on the E30s and Ive had one thats leaked where the 2 halves are joined - was ok with less than 1/2 a tank
If you take the tank out, there are also brake hoses that run over the top of the tank - well worht replacing those if they look a bit suspect. Very rare they get spotted in an MOT as they cant be seen above the tank.

They are the ones that need replacing stu, they are really bad.
I was quite surprised to see two tanks when i got under the car
Thanks to andy for his help last night
