          I was thinking about maybe even getting rid of the metal bumpers but I need to do some more research first on what my options are for that.

          And I learned about the maintenance part the hard way... I took care of everything but I didn't know about the short timing belt lifespans with M20s... Timing belt snapped on me driving yesterday. It only had 64,000 miles on the belt, I see they aren't kidding when people say every 60k. Luckily I have a donor engine ready to go so hopefully it'll be back up and running soon.

            Very, very clean looking interior. Get some more pictures up! I really want to get a vert recently and I've no idea why as I live in WA.
            Need a part? PM me.

              Here's a couple more shots, sorry for their quality these were all phone shots.

              Here's a front shot, the paint really shines but the clear coat is starting to peel in a few places now.

              The interior is clean, except for the average rip in the top middle of the backseat and the drivers side seat.

                  It's clean. Go with Euro bumpers or wet sand and polish the diving boards, would look great either way.

                    With something that clean I'd say go very mild on mods. There are fewer and fewer clean oem examples of e30's around. jmo
