How about a full strip, acid dip, repairs..allbeit minor, another acid dip and then E-coating. Only way especially if you intend on keeping it for the long term.

Excellent news. I'm planning a bare metal respray on mine this winter. I was wondering who is doing your gearbox rebuild? |
Mine was bare metal, windows out and I inspected it when it was in that state, 2 years on and I still have 2 very small blisters come through. I think the only way is Stevesingo styley!
My gearbox is being rebuilt by a friend of mine, unless he doesn't want to do it ofcoarse!

The engine will be standard, but as best as one can get. The gearbox too is going to be stripped and re-built.
Roll on next summer when hopefully it will all be finished. |
will this include a 2.5 crank? 
I am sure you will not going to sell her after the engine is done and you have been out for a drive......
If you can afford it, keep her! Values might drop, but I am sure a proper SE will always fetch the right money.

Well Simon,
If I am going to this amount of trouble to make this car one of the very best Sport Evo's there is, I will be silly to sell it, unless someone wants to part with mid to high �20k. I am also going to have the seats re-trimmed too, I have all the original material to do the whole lot. Recaro - or the UK suppliers/manufacturers are going to do that work for me.
But I fear a drop in values of classic cars in general soon.... maybe in a couple of years time? If it doesn't sell before that happens, I will certainly keep it.
I have contacted the original "purchaser" for the last time. If it falls on deaf ears, the car will stay.
For now though, people have missed a bargain!

Okeys,
Unfortunately the buyer who was going to buy this car has dissappeared off the face of the Earth, so its back up for sale.
There are a few ways I will sell the car. You can buy it as is, some faults repaired, or fully sorted. But asking price will vary obviously.
Genuine enquiry's only please as I had lots of "oh I only just saw this" AFTER I "provisionally sold" the car, but none have seemed to be genuine.
I will consider p'ex with another E30 M3/320is or E36 GT/GT2 or E46 330d coupe. All plus cash though.

Thanks Sporty, I thought about that before putting it on.... My thoughts were that UK Spec (specified) kinda puts a rubber stamp on it being a genuine UK car - built at the factory to UK specification. I also thought about the UK supplied statement and for some reason I suspected I would get a few pedantic remarks like "mine is German spec but UK supplied!) 
I think you guys get my drift
She started on the button despite being left for months and the engine sounds sooo sweet. I almost removed the topic!

Sorry Paul but I'm going to be really pedantic, but the title of the thread, ...... UK SPEC!, shouldn't that read UK SUPPLIED?
Good luck with the sale mate, looks really nice, hope she finds a good home.

looks a fine example of an appreciating classic which, if well looked after, will only grow in value> a good investment for those with spare 'wonga'. best of luck.
ps if you have a spare SE plaque do give me a pm
