    She is home.

    She is finally home, and I cannot be more excited, I find myself going out for a drive more and more in it. No regrets, I bought it for 250 bucks, and $3000 later, all new suspension, brakes, timing belt, water pump, new clutch, and all the bushings, and new control arms. Here she is. Just thought I would share, as I am finally apart of a community that loves the E30 as much as I do. Open to suggestions, please feel free to comment.

    Beautiful color! Have you given any thought to rims or lowering? ;)

    If you want to buy a set of foglights that aren't shattered, PM me.

      Same color as mine, even the same foglight is broken. Lol. Acutally looks like mine, but with two doors. I like it. :)

            I would like to lower it, but that oil pan height is really scary. Right now, I am working on getting a complete black interior together so I can rip the one in it right now out, and pull out that stock stereo. In the mean time, I want to tuck the bumpers. As for wheels, I want something in the same size possibly mesh, I want it to look subtle and maintain that factory look. The color is: arkticblau metallic. The suspension was replaced with stock cartridges up front and kyb gas shocks in the back, not really all new, i take it back.

              loks nice and clean. A tan interior in this car would look really good.
              sport seats at that, you should think about tan.
              your car would look good with a es lip. I say keep the bumpers because it keeps the old school look. maybe some stock weaves too.
              you will be set.

                Stock weaves will be a substantial improve to the bottlecaps right now. Good progress!

                  h&r sports FTW. if you can crack a pan on these springs (well, with bilstein sport shocks installed) you shouldnt be driving.

                    Nice buy man, arktikblau looks great when it's cleaned up.

                          I'll get some pics within the next couple weeks. Real busy commuting from NY to Boston for work.. but they are in good condition, not mint, but good.
