I recently got myself another E30, it's a 91 316i auto. its in really good nick and original with no rust Smile
although I think the bonnet may have had some paint at some point.
It had been sorned for the last two years,(prior to me buying it)and although overall condition is really good, I've given it a thorough detail.
Last w/e I did the engine bay and shampooed the interior, and yesterday I got round to the paint, after about 7 hours - wash, clayed, then Megs 105 then Megs 205 and topped of with Mothers FX Synwax, although I've had this Synwax for quite some time, its actually the first time I've used, mainly because I generally prefer Carnuba  wax  - anyway I'm very pleased with the result, which don't show too well in the photos !
So here are some pics, not showing it at its greatest as they are taken with my phone in my garage (as it was dark and raining when I had finished)
I still have all the black stuff to do and the inside & outside of the windows.
I've got a set of BBS cross spoke wheels for it, which you can see in the reflection, if you look close enough. Also got a set of front fogs to put on.
