Hello forum, since I like build threads myself, I thought you would like to see how mine was giving new life.
Actually, I can't take credit for much of the first part of work, since the car was build by my friend, for himself, or atleast that was the plan. But as you all may know, things change, and he and I ended up, making a deal, so this E30 became mine.
Here is some information of the car:
1988 E30 320i - fitted originally with a M20B20, 129hp.
original colour lachssilber metallic, and was resprayed in the same color.
It was imported from Germany to Denmark in 2007, and my buddy bought it from a guy in Denmark back in 2011
Here is to stat with a before picture of it:
At the before pictures, I didn't seem like it was in THAT bad condition, and really - it wasnt, but it has got some rust here and there, and needed the paint refreshed.
The mechanical had alot of minor problems too, and needed a overhaul.
So - car bought - let the work begin!
Chassis:
Lets focus on the chassis and paintjob first:
Since the plan was, it being a daily for my mate - he decided to respray it in the original colour.
A new valance was fitted, since you all know they rust away and get bended very well.
Ready to go to the paint shop getting the last things done, before painting.
*Sniff sniff* - whats that? .. Yes - fresh paint! ..
Time to go home, gourgeos!
One of my absolut favorite details - the mirror mounting is painted black - goes PERFECT with the rest of the black details of the car.
Here - a result of the car finished after painting - touring side skirts, IS front lip - illuminated head and fog light - 7,5x16 ET25 front and 9x16 ET15 Azev A on the rear.
More to come!
