    Quick History Of My E30

    To start this off I would just like to say, I was 15 at the time of buying this car, I have had no experience with cars before this. I did a lot of the work by myself, and my dad showed me a few good things along the way. IJust felt like showing what was done. When I bought the car I had no idea what it was, no clue of the following, and I honestly have no idea why I bought it. She ran well but was in need of love. First I will start with some of the original for sale pictures!






    As you can see it looked like garbage. I don't have much for pictures in the middle stages of its much needed love, but there are a few. I had to replace that huge hole in the passenger side fender, let me tell you how much fun that wasn't....
    I had a good picture of the spot cut out, but I lost it :( It was a pretty good hole.

    The piece that took its place


    Puttied

    What rust spot?!?

    Now some overall body shots!

    The trunk had almost 3 different colors of paint on it...

    All cleaned up




    First coat of paint


    looked like that with very little work.

    Dont remember why that was in there

    Her first day outside in 4 months, all pretty and done (for the time being :))

    Little decal action, in a messy garage.

    Some rims

    First day dropped. JOM FTW

    Rims dropped


    Destroyed those rims, mainly because of the rubber band tires and the combination of JOM vert coilovers and ST sways.

    Cool shot with a buddys rx-8, man those things are weak.

    With one of its brethren

    With my dads new toy that I had driven home for him

    First ticket!

    nowdays



    And with my second one :)

    Car looks ever clean. When you spend so much time on a vehicle it becomes something you can never seen in the hands of someone else.

                    I think it looks pretty mean next to that 944. How long have you had it?

                      Lip on wheels was to hide the cracked clear, volvo lip because it is wisconsin ( It has probably lost a good 1/8" of plastic already) Window banner is actually practical, no more sunglasses for me! I like the german flag. End of story lol
                      Have had it for a year now!!! Just realized that.
                      Look above for volvo lip answers. And because IS lips are stupid expensive.

                        Love what you've done, although the white lips dont flow too well IMO..

                          Good shit man! Love all the DIY work, great great work.

                          But PLEASE consider some different wheels..also maybe a Rieger lip..I think it would suit your car nicely.. I had a Volvo lip my junior year in high school, tore it off, and have been rocking the "I" lip since then (soon to be iS).

                          Also, some people might think this is ghey, but I think white kidney's would look cool on your car...
