Another Lurker Comes out of the dark

[the.other]

Ive been lurking around here for about 5 months now and finnnaly got an e30, so I guess its time to become an active member.

Well here it is after 3+ hours of washing, scrubbing and waxing.

The body could be a bit less ding free but its not rusty and that is nearly impossible to come by in ohio :roll:






future plans for mods:
new interior...the current one is a disaster
IE stage 3 / koni's
lm bumpers...the po already put the lm front air dam and rear apron...though not very well.
new wheels ... bottlecaps = :?
its a supereta so...
chip ... what kind?
325i cam and springs
325i intake manafold
325i throttle body
m30 AFM
mabey a turbo if I can come up with the cash.

suggestions / comments / flames?

If it's a Super Eta [88 325] it came with the late model front valance and rear apron from the factory. Anyway, looking like a good starting point, some plastic bumopers will really do wodners for the car!

[DEV0 E30]

Good start and welcome.

What color is that? The lighting makes it look pretty cool.

Definitley hook up some plastic bumpers.

I beleive it is hellrot, though I am not sure

[e30sd]

thats far from hellrot

[MR 325]

Check the driver side shock tower for the color

[MR 325]

Oh and use SEM trim paint for the shadowline

There is a writeup on www.strictlyeta.net

lol shows how much I know :oops:

[Ryan Stewart]

Yeah its like a burgundy without any violet in it. Ive never seen that shade on a BMW.

my brothers e30 is the same collour. is "zinnorbert" a collour? from
memory that was the only word that i could see that i thought might
have been a colour.

i used engine paint, semi gloss black, and it came out REALLY well, matches the stock black pieces perfect...i bought the paint at my local kragen. the engine paint is made to bond to metals, i think it lasts longer than SEM...

[uofom3]

yeah that looks like a zinno red car in dim lighting... good starting point, and the plastic bumpers will make a world of difference

[bmwm3n528]

Looks like it's got too much brown for zinno...maybe it's the lighting.
