    Ahh, calypsorot.

    Newest addition to the...stable. No pun intended.

    1990 325i 4 door, auto, 199k, full Zender kit painted to match. Nearly flawless interior - looks like the back seat was never used. Crack in the oil pan, according to the PO - still runs and drives. We'll be going over the car to see what the deal is.

    VERY little rust. That dent on the fender where the chip of paint came off - that's the only spot I found. Nothing on the fender doglegs or rear arches, lower valance, trunk, licence plate lights, etc. Calypso paint is clean and bright - not a ton of scratches either.

    Here she is. Haven't decided on what to do with her yet...

        man, I can't believe they painted that grill too. Looks like a decent car for a driver though.

          Thats sweet Scott. Nice Hartge kit. Front valance needs to be fixed, but other than that it looks pretty cool. It is VERY likely I will be wanting an m10/m42 car next spring/summer for way cheap. I will PM you about it in the next couple days.

                How many cars do you have now (i shoulden't talk :) )?

                Nice car. How much did you get it for?

                Craigslist is awsome. I have found quite a few there.

                    The kit is ZENDER, will. Read.

                    Chris, are the sides different? I thought they were Zender as well, but now that you mention it, you may be right - maybe they are RD skirts.

                    The car is real nice. Came off ebay though, not cl. I've gotten cars from both, this one was a nice deal. Had my eye on it for a long time, finally got the seller low enough.

                    He thought the motor was blown. We drove it around - he was wrong :)

                    May clean it up and sell it. Too nice of a car to part out.

                    Will be taking offers on the kit pieces seperately, if anyone is interested...but if someone wants the whole car, the kit is offered to them first.

                    EDIT: I have 9 BMW's, 1 nissan, 1 GMC, 1 Chrysler T&C, 1 Honda, and a Jeep. :)

                      Nice score. Throw some black grills on it, clean it, sell it!!

                        Indeed - very non-zenderish, and very RD ish now that you mention it. Interesting.

                        I may sell the car without the kit just to make things easier. Depends on the customer and the price it sells for.

                        Needs a cleaning, some grills (though to be honest, these don't look THAT bad...) and maybe some TLC under the hood. We'll see...someone wants this calypso car though ;)
