    Fall in Indy...ready to du werk next Spring

    Here are some long overdue photos of the E30. I think it's safe to say the car is finished minus some final tuning. Of course I have some projects I have planned for the Winter. She should be all ready for some track duty first thing in the Spring!

    A big thanks to Reggie's Motorworks for their work on this project.

            Holy shit, I had no idea you did this to it! Can't even remember the last time you posted a picture of the car.

            It looks amazing.

            My only suggestion, Euro rear plate filler of course. :)

                          Shaved and resprayed by Reggie's Motorworks...He really put a lot of work into it. It's not just a bunch of bodyfiller, he welded in sheetmetal to fill all of the holes.

                          Thanks man - I'm actually not a fan of the plate fillers on early cars. However, I love them on pretty much any color late model with smoked taillights like yours. It just screws up the lines of the back end on the early cars.

                          Thanks - I actually got a straight BMP rear bumper! The only thing I'm not happy with is the hood. It bulges up in the middle along the fenders.

                          Apex ARC 17x8 ET23 wheels with 235/40 Nitto NT05's. The speed in this car is kind of deceiving between the grippy tires and bucket seats.

                            Is your hood CF or just a black painted one. I can't tell.

                              Wow - to look this car over is to note a million little subtle details incorporated.

                              Overall execution and cleanliness make this one a winner.

                              Is that a Rieger front lip?
