thats sorta cool in its own little way. I saw those skirts in the yard the other day and lol'd a bit. pretty retro.

This is my euro-trash project car.

Current pics...














this is how she was when I got her.


Picked up the car for $480 about a month ago, ran great but had all kinds of little shit that needed fixing.

For instance I had to completely reassemble the dash and center console, rewire the wipers and horn, fix the head and taillights...shit like that.

The PO decided to rattlecan it flat black because the stock paint was peeling. So that also entailed me spending several hours scraping the over-spray off all the glass since he didn't mask off ANYTHING!

Well, so far I have cleaned up the interior where its spotless,

added some tan leather sport seats, front and back

painted the stock bottlecap wheels. They were in horrible condition so might as well make em look decent till I can get my good wheels.

Tucked the bumpers

added a Zender front vallance and side skirts

French style yellow highbeams

euro style grills

Blacked out Kidney Grills

true euro plate

custom roof rack

Racing Dynamics springs

Tokico HP Struts

Wink 5 panel mirror

and I am going to be stripping the paint, doing the body in a professional coat of flat black, making a skidplate and putting some E90 drophats on it.

And since the PO painted over the rear roundel I will be changing out to all B&W BMW emblems.

And as she sits now...






I CLEARLY know this is not everyones cup of tea and if it had been a nicely painted car when I bought it I would have gone a different route. But I have always loved this style so I figured why not and so far I love it!

I am probably going to be getting some Borbet type-A knock offs in a flat black at some point. Not decided 100% yet.
