untuk permulaan saudara Hafiz hendak lah berjumpa saudari mizhan. Kemudian meminta sedikit benih pokok duit dari beliau.
dengar kata terdapat beberapa pokok duit yg subur dibelakang rumah beliau...:8:

Dengar kata dia juga memiliki baja yang terhebat untuk pokok tersebut. Sebab itu pokoknya lebat sepanjang masa.... :4:

Salam bang mizhan, it was an honor meeting you during TT at kota last friday.. First time ever i stayed till 4am listening to your stories about your e30.. I hope i didnt leave any thumb print on your e30! Manyak takut mau pegang pon.. After reading your thread i truly understand the love and passion towards previous generation of cars be it a bmw or any other brands. ( i dare not say the O word ).. My dad used to have 2 ford escorts 2 doors and 4 doors aftera i grew bigger in size.. Watching him over the years of growing up, i know how people can really sayang a car.. Until today he still polish his car every 2 weeks and sometime i tumpang his effort or i call it his exercise routine.. We didnt manage to get a beemer before but the passion towards cars is still the same. I get the chance to learn so many things from him as well as reading from your thread (3 straight days) and i consider myself lucky to meet you in person.. I hope i can still learn more from you about restoration.. Even if i cant restore any e30 but at least i learned something valuable from you and the rest of the contributors.. Thankyou and in deed it is a beautiful car to appreciate and drool.. What a lucky car..

Must be speed reading sky. Took me 7 days to read and had the honour to watch the car and owner up close and personal during the recent mfest. Simply awesome.

 

[AmoiSky]

Dear Amoi,

Many thanks for the kinds words towards me and my E30. It was a pleasure meeting you and your gang too. It has been a while since i stayed out so late myself. Thanks again for sponsoring my drink that night :biggrin:

As i mentioned that night, every car enthusiast should experience the joy (and tears) of restoring a classic; be it simply repainting a beat-up E36. Nothing quite compares to the joy of owning a decent looking 20 or 30 years old car. Hey, you should help your dad look after the Escorts.. That ought to give you some idea what i'm talking about :wink:

 

[AmoiSky]

How i wish that my dad didnt sell his escorts.. It was green in color and very loud as far as i remembered.. Used straight exzos piping, tembaga some more.. Sadly he sold to purchase new car.. But ya, i would have inherited the car if he did keep at least one of it.. Maybe i start with my E46 and bela until it becomes classic like e30.. Insyaallah.. Thanks for the encouragement.. Really appreciate it..

Btw, we bukan gang la bang.. Just a bunch of newbies yang still excited getting our new bms... Most are members staying nearby and just wanna have teh tarik... We welcome everyone from many district since we share2 klang shah alam TT.. hihi.. MMZ still our priority venue.. The more the merrier, more stories and experiences to share..

Hope to see your e30 again.. Mau posing tangkap gambar but not with mini skirt and landing on the trunk.. Hahahaa..

 

[mizhan]

You bring the miniskit, and i'll bring the car. Pls let me know when you guys are meeting again.

 

[maxxsp]

I still have not had the chance to see this classic in real life

 

[mizhan]

Just give me a call maxx..

 

[AmoiSky]

You bring the miniskit, and i'll bring the car. Pls let me know when you guys are meeting again.

Hahahaa.. MMZ this friday 10pm above bang.. Do join us..

hi mizhan, is this gap between the bumper and fender/body normal?

 

[mizhan]

I suppose it wasn't that huge a gap when the car left factory in 1988. 25 years later, the entire monocoque is no longer the same shape; metal fatigue etc. However you may get a good bodywork person to attempt to bring everything back to factory tolerance. I didn't have the patience nor money to do that on this car..

 

[x2n]

i see...thanks mizhan

reason im asking is because i met an e30 seller a few weeks back, and his car has similar situation (the gap is a bit bigger).., having no experience in used car, i dunno whether it is normal or not, i started to think it caused by accident

 

[johnj]

Guess for a 25 year old classic, we have to live with some gaps here and there...hehehe

 

[x2n]

itu la pasal johnj, betul jugak tu

 

[ICEMAN 68]

ha ha ha now i know why his car handles wells in corners ...

i went to TTDi homst for lunch earlier today, and i think i saw mizhan's car in the car accessories shop nearby. cantik berkilat kereta, macam kereta baru! hehehe

floor welding

hey sry to ask this question at this point lol, but what guage metal you used for the floor repair?

 

[mizhan]

i'm sorry.. can't seem to recall the sheet metal gauge. only remember it was galvanised steel.

[e30boy]

oh ok, because in a few weeks time i will be starting a restoration project of my 318i, and the driver side floor is completely rotted. so the entire driver side needs to be replaced. so i was told by a guy from youtube to use 20 guage for the floor and 18 guage for any support rails. but the thing is i would be removing the entire rotted section and replace it. rather than just use the sheet metal and patch. thats why i would like to know if to use the 18 guage since it much stronger. note: i will be cutting right through the floor and remove. hope you can help
