Laura's '92 vert/new to the forum

[Trptguy]

Very nice! Love that color

[Laura]

thanks everyone!

Welcome to the Calypso club. So you just painted the chrome trim? What did you use?

yup. taped it off, sanded it a little, cleaned it, and put on about 2 coats of duplicolor trim paint from advance auto.

I have the same exact car. Where did you say you got that top? Is the interior tan leather? Congrats again.......

yeah tan interior. I need to either get some new seats or re-upholster the ones in there desperately haha. And I got the top from a guy on here who had a vert he was using for parts.

Another vert! welcome to r3v. This is my second favorite color =) Since you want to go LOW send me a PM and I will help you though setting your car up right.

thanks, will do

[Laura]

Maybe we should go on a date sometime.

Have any pics of you and the car? Or just you?

m-tech II calypso vert is nice, but if you stay with plastic bumpers, it can also look clean and nice, here is the one I did few years ago







or and pics of you next to the car is a must :up:

I think whoever had the car before my dad had painted the sides and back bumper... when I went to re-paint all the trim it looked like they were originally the same color as the car. I wish the guy had kept them like that, I like how yours looks a little better.

and I don't have amy pics of me with the car, but here's me with one of my pet rats, Turbo. :) lol

[Laura]

Nice, I like the color (see attached 91 325i). I am thinking of painting my chrome window trim black. Can you post a better picture of yours?

nah I don't have any better pics of the trim but I can take some for ya

Nice vert laura! I think my buddy knows of that car, he mentioned a calypso vert sitting somewhere in charlotte a while back. Welcome to e30s!

How long ago? If it's within the past 2 months then thats very likely, I'm a manager at the Autobell near downtown so it's parked out there by the road a lot.

Laura great looking 'vert!!


Mr. Vlad, how did you achieve this drop? Mine 'vert will get some snow duty so need to be able to fit chains.

that top really cleaned up well, did you get the quarter windows set right?

[robrez]

I love verts and calypso is one of my all time fave e30 colors. Great combo.

[Laura]

nooope... haven't been able to get around to fixing them yet :/ it's like the rubber seals on the top that the windows slide into are too tight cause the top had been sitting out on a parts car for so long or something. so the back windows don't fit in the seals at all, they're pushed to the outside a little bit. It doesn't leak, I just can't roll down the back windows when the top is up. How would I go about fixing that?

[MR.LUGO]

Lookin gewdd.

[B Randon]

run it by a top shop they might be able to toss some info your way but from the looks of it when you where here you still need to get the front door glass and the quarter glass lined up

Yeah I've been planning on running it by somewhere to get it looked at but I haven't had time cause of work lately. The front windows seem to be better than they were when we first put the top on, they roll up all the way now with no issues. Only problem is the back quarters :/

fell like another drive? i have the billy sports and lowering springs you where looking for lol
