    restoring 91 E30 Alpine White Vert - pics

    customer's car, came in for the full respray, has been sitting for 3+ years, will get new interior, s54 swap, etc..

    the day it came in



    snow the next day



    I know it looks ok in the pics but it had a lot of dings, some rust and paint peeling

    so the work has started









    all the moldings are painted already







    the back end was primered today





    will continue on the rest of the car on Monday :up:

        why not just pull the trunk lock? seems like a pain in the ass to try to paint around and look perfect?
        are the wheels reps? they do look sweet!
        Much wow
        I hate 4 doors

              we need to open and close the trunk, it will get pulled out during the paint job, always do it like that, otherwise the trunk will stay open

                As a fellow alpine vert owner, this will be interesting to follow.
