    White M-techII vert, rare 5 speed, coilovers, RESTORATION pics !

    this is the 92 appearance package, I read that only 10 percent came with the manual, the rest were all automatic. I picked up this car from a fellow R3V member back in the spring. The car was very sound mechanically but needed a lot of body work and rust repair. On to the pics

    when I picked it up







    as you can see, the interior was shot. So first stop on my way home was by the upholstery place to order the material to do the full interior



    as soon as I got back to the shop, we start ripping the car apart

    installed the new Hella Smoked Euro smilies, HIDs, euro grills





    big props to my buddie Eddie for helping me out with this car and most of the work on it :up:





    replaced the worn out shift boot and broken shifter with new boot and ZHP knob



    custom tinted tails, new gaskets



    took the cluster out, installed new rings, painted the needles, Alpina RPM sticker









    also installed new Head Unit, suede steering wheel and Euro clock



    we also gutted both doors and replaced all the window regulators, motors, brackets, everything inside the doors was replaced









    I installed a set of ESM002s staggered, 16x7.5 and 16x9s that I had laying around, they def made the car look beefier, the D2 coil overs are great, love them as well !





    some friends came over to give a hand with rear window motors, they were shot as well, so we replaced them



    replaced the windshield with Genuine e30 m3 windshield





    by this time the interior was ready, so we went and picked it up and installed it in the car

      I drove the car a little bit (love every moment of it) until I was ready to bring her in for some much needed body work







      rust in the trunk

































      parts are fixed and primered









      painted













      to be continued.......

              Another Vlad Creation! They did a good job with lightly smoking those tails.

                            Looks great man. A part of me always wants to hate ESM's, but they always look good on E30's. Keep it up!
