      Lose the wing and all the decals, paint the exhaust tips black and I like it for something unique. The rear looks very euro-E21ish. It would be a blast to throw some light, strong wheels and snow tires on it and go tear up the streets in the wintertime. :D

      Cool pickup for the price, IMO.

        I like those wide fenders... I want some...
        I got a fender roller now! LMK if you need me to roll your fenders or want to rent the tool from me locally.

          honestly, it's got some cool ideas. The center exhaust is unique, as is the shaved bumper. And not many people put fender flares on a non-M. However, execution is pretty lacking, I'd redo the exhaust to give the region (not just the pipes) more visual presence, lower it, and find a large tasteful front valence to balance out the rest of the car. Then paint it alpineweiss, buff the hell out of it, and work 4 jobs until you can afford some Work wheels.

          edit: and do something a bit classier with the lights, make them look like they're supposed to be there.

                Definitely has potential.

                Interior: The seat install isn't aweful, but execution could be better. E30 sport seats would be my choice, though. If you really wan't power seats, I'm a fan of e46 seats and apparently they can be made to fit. An Mtech I wheel would make the interior look a bit nicer as well.

                Engine: Chip it and work on the exterior

                Exterior: lose the wing and the bottom 2 fog lights. The front bumper looks like a BMP piece with bad fitment, so a stock valence (the es one) would go a long way here. Center exhaust is actually kind of cool; depending on the quality of the install and the sound, put some tips on it. Not sure about the shaved bumpers, mainly because of the lack of paint quality. Get a good paintjob (actually, anything is better than what is on it). The wheels actually look really cool IMHO; very period-ish. Also, maybe graft on an 88- rear valence.

                This, of course, is all my opinion. Seems like a very fun project that could actually turn out well ;). It'd make a fun DD as it is.

                      lol thanks for all the posts...so i def have some plans for it....

                      it drives really...really well...for not running for 5 years it feels very strong...i changed the oil and put some fresh gas in her replaced once taillight that had a hole in it...took off the rally lights (not the best install on them plus they arent even wired) and installed my mtech 2 steering wheel on it :)

                      lots of plans...unfortunately the stripes are painted off so...a paint job is def in order...i really do like alpineweiss tbh that is a good idea..so as for now i am mostly broke so i cant do too too much but i have plans for the wing tonight...it involves a case of beer and a sawzall muaha...anyway thanks for the replies...it feels amazing to be back in a good driving e30 again.
