It's been in my garage for a year, finally got it running, taxed & tested (UK roadworthiness and tax) and I love it again, great driver, very responsive.
I've just put some new Revolution Milleniums on, I bought them new for a RWD Challenge car I was building but I've since sold the rally car so I thought I'd try them on my road car, what's the verdict???

yes, I did wonder about that, I've just sold my spare grills so I'll have to remove it, hopefully wont damage it, alternatively I could try find an S14 motor?

S14 is legendary but best left in an M3.  The car looks nice but something about the white rims doesn't look right; with me anyways.  Do you still have the basketweaves? Mount those back on there and refresh the rockers with a good scrub/paint and you'll have a nice n' clean E30.
Was that antenna placement a Europe thing? Also the 3rd brake light not standard?
Hopefully mine can look as decent after it gets out of the garage.

I the Uk here we never had the 3rd break light and on mine the antenna is on the rear wing I have never seen it there

Nice car.

Did you move the antenna to the roof or did the car come that way. That looks way better.
