As they say, you always come back to E30s. Some cars slipped through my fingers, but I was able to get this car for what I wanted to pay, and I'm already gathering a pile of parts for her. Another 87 325iS, but will be different from my last. I was out of the E30 game for quite awhile as other cars/vehicles kept me busy. Is Magenta/Pink the new black, or is orange the new pink? Since when do sub $2k cars go for almost 5kay? Times have changed.
I actually didn't think she deserved to be shot just yet, I went up that mountain road not to shoot my car. It's one of few mountain top spaces for residential development that doesn't already have something on it. It used to be listed at a staggering 2 Million dollars just a few years ago. It was sold recently for just over $100k. Times again, have changed.
Regardless, it's an incredible view, and I didn't go up there at sunset on purpose because I wanted to check out what I could do for a future shoot - with another car. Sadly, I knew halfway up that the pot holes on this road would make a lowered car very unhappy. Even at stock height I felt like I was 4 wheeling making sure I didn't go into one of the holes at a bad angle for the oil pan.
Anyways, this is the new E30. Many things in store for her, it's a long ways from being what I think is even worth taking pictures of, but it fits my lifestyle at this time, and I'm not in a rush to make her what I want.
First day I got her:
Took off the IS Airdam with attached Volvo lip. Don't know why the PO wanted to scrape a lip at stock height. Till I actually have something worthy to show, last pics for awhile.
