Had the car ages, finally bothered to make a thread for it. It's a 1990 318i, my age doesn't permit me to have a straight 6 
When I first got it.
Once I had got it home.
About a month later some chavs on mopeds tipped paintstripper over it while I was gone, along with about 10 other cars.
(If I ever find you I am going tie you to an anvil and toss you into a lake.)
Decided to clean the sides and the roof as being parked under a tree had made it look like it was abandoned.

I then decided to get a replacement bonnet... they said I would never get it in the Golf, THEY SAID IT WOULD NEVER WORK!
Ended up taking 4 of us to replace the bonnet, 2 of us to hold it in place while the other 2 screwed everything back on, pain in the arse!
But here it is with a shiny un-ruined bonnet..
Still needs the badge sticking back on.
Still a fair bit of work needed to the bodywork, but it's getting there.

Nice motor. A friend of mine has the 2.5 litre straight 6 version sitting in a garage in bits just waiting to be put back together, wish he would get his act together!
Thanks, and yes he should! If not he should give it to me BriC175 said:
Nice. I find myself wanting to sell my Renault to buy an E30 or an E36.
A nice E30 325i Sport or E36 328i Sport
Do it, get the E30 325, you will regret it if you don't! A nice E30 325i Sport or E36 328i Sport

Glad you got it all together though - is that the Rhyader reservoir road?
Yeah I would be in jail now if I found whoever did it, mine is the only car that is still around out of the ones that were vandalised, the rest were all taken away and crushed by the insurance companies I presume.ds bds bds bds bds bds... *repeat until weeping*Glad you got it all together though - is that the Rhyader reservoir road?
It's the A4067 in the Brecon Beacons

Some more pics! (phone camera quality goodness)
(Yes the arches need sorting)
I'm wondering what to do with it now, in typical E30 fashion, it has now sprung a petrol leak from the engine somewhere. Hoping it's just a hose. The 4pot engine is pretty tappy, debating whether to buy a 325i lump & box and stick them in instead.
