Acme man, I wish you’d take my advice seriously sometimes. I get the appeal to trigger people on these boards but financially speaking, man you’d have been so much better off if you didn’t make the purchases you did.

These are lost causes. F spending money on old tat.

Calm down! lol

I'm selling the V70R and I bought this as a cheap daily, once the Volvo sells I'll be able to afford to move out AND have the E30 sprayed, rather than either leaving it as it is or putting it in storage when I move out.

I've had half an eye on this Primera for months, exchanged a few messages with the seller, made a cheeky offer, and now its mine.

I like Primeras, I'd like a P10 eGT, but this one will do fine. I'd prefer it without the daft get-up but I found it funny. It has been worth it just for the reactions from everyone (people I know not just on here) and it will be satisfying 'normalising' it a bit.

Plus it has the benefit of being dirt cheap to insure.

I honestly don't get the issue, if it didn't have a silly livery nobody would bat an eye. And I'm peeling it off.

I think I have braided lines and polybushes for front lower arms and rear trailing arms sitting up in my loft.

None the less P11 has a peach of a gearbox and the SR20 makes a lovely sound with an induction kit. If a little underpowered.

I've made a thread because I'm concious that the last page or two has been solely people confused about what the heck I must have been thinking, and I don't want to de-rail this thread anymore!

The DE can manage 300 with DET bits bolted to it, if I felt the need...

Yes. Show us your red stitching.

My old Primera. Loved that thing. Shame the underside ended up like the Titanic.

You don't get to judge what is and isn't odd, fox. You are one of the oddest people in here.

You are forgiven for buying the heap, cause that has made my day.

On a serious note, ive probably wasted more money doing a burnout in my M3 and shredding the tyres than the cost of this car

Ace! Yeah rust is a concern for definite. Need to have a good nose around underneath it. It has been dry stored for a long time though so shouldn't be too bad.

Why? What about if it didn't have any stickers on it? (Which it won't, soon)
