James, don't make it sound like you purchased the car with those wheels. you purchased those wheels for the car. :D

[cferb]

but...it's single-stage paint...given it's OEM

[James Crivellone]

It had diving boards, stock suspension, bling bling rims, automatic transmission, and almost 200K miles.

Thats pretty damn ugly if you ask me



and the paint, oh god clearcoat peeling everywhere.

[cferb]

then:


uhh, then, but a later then, after my $50 paint job on the hood and driver fender:



then, after i repainted pretty much everything that was black:




i miss that car so much...:( sold it just like it was in the last picture

I'm disqualified too since my car is only a stripped shell now, but this is how it looked ~1,5years ago


Bad paint, DIY smoked headlights, 15" Fondmetals with clearcoat pealed, plastic front conversion, missing lip, fog lights and brake ducts, chrome bumper on back, and no spare time to install front springs.

The plastics are never coming back, I've bought brand new OEM valace and fenders and scored a mint chrome bumber.

I started reconstructing body from front, all the paint and coatings from engine compartment and wheel wells are scrubbed of, the engine bay is now primered and I have new under coat on wells.

I'm replacing both rocker panels and the rear panel too, climate around here is not too firendly for cars, there is no sense doing this kind of repair to +20y old car, but I realy want to conserve this car. Looking forward to get this to painters at late summer 2007.

EDIT: zobelbraunmetallic, and I'm keeping the color.

LOL, dude, that's awesome. :D

I think Burnsey wins. Mike's is bad, but at least it can look normal from some angles.

This whole thread makes me think of an ugly baby contest. It's wrong is so many ways. And yet so right. :p

hahahaha oh well, i will start a new thread titled "who's car looks like shit, they know that it does, yet they still drive it, even when they have a 2002 sentra se-r in front of their house which is perfect" and i will be the only one to reply in it. i will just talk to myself, which is what i do anyways. lol

*returns to pouting, but this time he sticks his thumb in his mouth.....*

[325iCabrio]

(^^^^hopefully that covered how i feel in depth) lol:D

You are disqualified. The title clearly states "your THEN ugly e30". Yours is clearly still ugly. :D
