    Mauritius Blue 91 Convertible

    A little background.... I found this car by sheer accident on craigslist up in Minneapolis,MN. It spend msot of its life from 91 till 2007 in Arizona and then was purchased by a Delta pilot who never drove it. So to say the least it has 99.9 percent no rust.

    The car is currently at my buddies detail shop to have 2 dents removed and to go through a full detail as the paint definitely needs some tlc.

    I will post after pictures once I get the car back in about a week.

    Also I will be creating a build thread for this car. The current plans are to drop in a e36 six pot ( cant make up my mind which one though ), rims,suspension,bushings, z3 rack, and new tint to replace the nasty purple faded stuff that is currently on it by next spring and then more to come with time.

    Im also considering replacing the top with a navy blue one. What do you guys think ? Keep it black or go blue ??








    I will update with a photo shoot so hopefully u guys wont mind a little semi non e30 content.

          Black top, more contrast. If the blue top doesn't match perfect, I think it gives the car an "I didn't try hard enough" look.

              Same, it needs to be exact or the glacerblau with the dark blue. Either right on or far off.

                  Looks like someone chromed a set of Z1 wheels, that's wrong.

                            Its a 5 speed, thankfully. I picked it up for 2300.00 in Minneapolis,Mn. I think I did good considering my area of the country. WHAT do u guys think?

                              I love that color. I have one and am planning on changing the top this winter. But i would definitely keep it blue. Its what came on the car originally and it looks good.
