    a rare sight - my euro e30 cabrio

    I say "rare" because it is NOT on jackstands.....and actually out of the garage! haha. Using my moms old camera (since it lives in her garage at the moment). I'll have to get N2MYE30 to snap a few pics.

    Notice the absence of the 3rd brake light on the trunk lid! Real Alpinas ;-)



    Can't decide if I want smileys and euro grilles again. I sold them. Do want a different lip and trying to come up with a clever euro plate up front.




    Any other cabrio owners have this problem? Since I only have one deck lid shock, it skews the decklid by pushing it up (you can see its not flush with the body). I have to take out the strut to make it sit flush. Its like it has too much force in it?! All red tails courtesy of N2MYE30's painting skills.




    I still need to do a few things to it. Most importantly get a working speedometer, floor mats and figure out what to do with the old rear bumper end tabs. Valence or remove?! Rear fog is wired up, just waiting on the proper 2 button switch. Different front lip....I REALLY want the Alpina snow shovel!

    Open to any other suggestions!!!

        she beautiful. Smileys and a front valance would make it rock.

                            OP, car looks great. For some reason I recall having a strut on each side of my deck lid. They do have a lot of force. I could be wrong, but I will check tomorrow.
