Hi there guys, just to introduce myself my name is Jazz. I am a university student trying to work hard� lol. (Too many female distractions)�..lol

I am not exactly new on this forum as I have been a member for along while now.This is the first time I am introducing my self because firstly I am now able to spend on my car and secondly this is where the project officially starts.

I have owned my car for a year and a half now and well since I bought it, it has been sitting in my garage since because of other serious commitments, but now I finally have time and more importantly money saved up for it.

My car is a totally standard E30 31.8IS. It is alpine white in color. The very early days last year August some time I was on the search for a well known trust worthy Mechanic. After about a month I was advised to go to Dips So I called Dips up and we arranged a time and date for me to drop of my car to him soon after that there I was on my way to Dips for a full mechanical check up��Dips simply then checked the car overall and gave me a List of things that needed to be done�.thank God the list was not to big lol.

Rite guys early days I bought a E30 31.8is and I have found myself a mechanic��.got my car checked�..now I have the list of things which need to be done��.& I drive home and park her in me garage��..she sits there for over a year and a half��..

It was unfortunate that I was out of a job and was unable to save up as to why the car sat there for this time. Throughout the year I kept in touch with Dips explaining my reasons and he understood and said not to worry when you ready just let me know.

Mid 2008

Things are going good I have a steady part time job and now saving. I call Dips and tell him ill be ready by end of November beginning of December to bring my car to you, and he said that�s fine.

The work I did on the car throughout the time she was sitting there for over a year was:

-Polished Rocker Cover & Inlet Manifold
-Mtech Pedals
& finally a
-Armrest

These are the only very few things I have done so far. I have many more plans for this bugger but it will take me time to get done as I�m studying at the same time.

Ill post some pictures of the car as soon as I get home.

Thanks for reading
Jazz:)
