    My Chalkboard E30

    First thread here so I thought I'd introduce my chalkboard e30. I picked it up for $400 a year back and decided to make it into a little project car. I finished the painting/most of the stuff last year but never posted the photos on r3v. Figured some of you guys mind find the car amusing.

    Picked it up as follows: non-running, no clear coat, terrible interior.







    After a bit of work: Color-match chalkboard paint, new interior and lots of mechanical work later.



















    The random chalkings over the year:

















    How she currently sits, more than a year later:



    Glimpse of my e46





    Chalkboard paint would look pretty good with clear coat, haha



    After a few AutoX days, the car was acting up. Decided to do a compression test...





    Thanks for looking <3

    Man, I have to say... I really love what you've done with the place. That's pretty freaking cool.

              Dude! This is so cool. I would never have the guts to do it, but it's a brilliant solution for a problem.

                So bizarre, yet so cool...so ugly, yet so brilliant. Major props for such a unique idea!

                            I like how you got chalkboard paint to match your original color. Looks cool.
