Well if you come back up lmk, would love to see the car in person!

super clean!

[MR.LUGO]

Thanks! And yeah it might not be for a while, i've done the trip 4 times now and she's already over 200K. Maybe i'll see you next year at bimmerfest ;)

[ohthejosh]

sounds good!

I need to get my car resprayed (OE Calypso). What did the respray cost you, if you don't mind?

[lolcantturn]

I don't like it because I'm sure theres still bronzit beige metallic paint somewhere on the car..and that would bother the shit out of me.

Friend hooked it up, but it depends on how much prep work you do and what shop. I'd say no less than 1k.

Lol doorjams are still bronzit, as well as the trunk and engine bay, but it's not like i have anything special in there anyways. So i don't careeee

[brutus87]

Who fucking cares, at some point paint the remaining bronzit little by little.
Looks way better.

Wow! I had no idea you were in Alameda. No one's in Alameda. All those pics looked familiar but I thought they were somewhere in SD.

[MR.LUGO]

Lol i painted the car up there and took those pics, but right now i live in SD.

[freeride53]

Yeah, I live in Alameda, but i'm moving down to SD in the fall as well.
If you don't mind, does your friend who did the car also do bodywork?
I need to find someone good/affordable to do some extensive work on my other whip..
(alameda drivers suck)

[MR.LUGO]

Damn that sucks dude. But he works at maaco so unfortunately it won't be that cheap but the work will be good. He's the sales manager at the mountain view shop. The shop is super legit tho, they have a bad rap but they are franchised so it all depends on the owners.

[freeride53]

ya dude, i'll deff look into it.
btw, you ever drive back up to bay?
i remembered reading somewhere on the ca subforum that some one suggested an E30 meet @ south shore in alameda, then a drive out to alameda point, like to shoot our cars.

[MR.LUGO]

I don't think for a while man, i've done the trip like 4 times now and she's got some miles on her so i'm trying to not go up for a while lol. But to be honest i barely went to meets in norcal, the e30 comm.over there isn't really there. I've met alot of people here and was going to meets the first month i was here, you'll have a good time down here. You going to SDSU?
