    I agree...."none" would indeed be very little :D

      Haha, like none would be just one small spot, a bubble that came up through the paint.

        I wouldn't even try to negotiate if that thing were here. $2000 is damn near half the price of my wheels and tires.
        I want a nice set of smoked MHW's (I know, get it line)

          But I did negotiate. Got it for $1,500! Guy had multiple people trying buy this thing. Stand up dude, gave me first looks since I called him first.

                Nice buy sir.

                If you do end up painting it, do it right and invest in a good and proper respray in the original Calypso. You won't be sorry.

                      Calypso is the only color i would paint it. I don't see many in this color. Paint is last on my to do list though. lots of little odds and ends to straighten out on this bad boy. It was owned by a college kid for the last 2 years who did enough to keep it running and get it to pass inspection. She's going to be a labor of love!

                        This is definite. Paint will come later though....

                              Calypso and Mauritius are the absolute best e30 colors, imo. (and I thought that long before I got my mauritius vert). Nice buy :)
                              The first car I ever rode in was an e30

                                Nice! I looked at a Calypso convertible in Oakland, CA but it needed too much work and was automatic. Calypso is a great color!
