Stu Mc's G-Ride (56K get with the times)

[e30Matt]

One of the most fun cars I've ever had the pleasure of driving.

Love it, and love the mirrors even more.

I mean that thing is good... I want to be with it.

You are a dick. Teasing us like that. I'm more interested in seeing the wheels.

I agree. E30's are hot. :D

And so is that one! I think it looks mean. :twisted:

E30's look awesome! The styling of them is just great and I love it!

Nice car Stu! It must really go like hell!

Wheels are sick, I saw them earlier this morning. Hopefully he will get some pics soon.

[Rob]

I went ahead and hosted a few of the pics.

[MR 325]

Like the pics, and I see it's a 316is now and not a 316d, that's probably better.

Anyway, love the car Stu.

[YAN-3]

any other pics or what? maybe engine bay? side shots? rear?

[Stu]

Thanks for the compliments guys. It does look rough, because it is. 8) Headlights and other pieces are misaligned, paint is chipped, panels are dented, bondo is present under some of the paint, etc. It has over 260,000 miles on it now. It's not a show car and will never win at a concours, but I do what I can to make it look good enough. If it looks good from 20 feet away, I'm satisfied. :)

Thanks to Rob for taking pics and posting them
Thanks to JonG for the Ireland Engineering springs
Thanks to Beej325es for the headlights
Thanks to Rigmaster for the trunklid and shadowline trim piece
Thanks to Bimmer7742 for the rear iS lip

Thanks to my brother Alex for the mirrors
Thanks to Duplicolor for the rattle-can(s) 8)

I have a video Rob took (in-car) of accelerating through a few gears, I'll try to get it hosted.

PS- if anyone was curious and missed the other thread, here's a video from the dyno over x-mas break, and a pic of the graph
