    Noob, First E30

    I have jumped ship and have left the Volkswagen side to join the dark side, I Have owned MK3 Jetta's, Golfs, Mk1 Rabbit's one of which was Vr6 swapped, 1 Corrado, and A Mk1 caddy truck which I still do drive and use to pick up parts.

    But this is my first BMW and I have got to say I love it I dont think I will ever drive a FWD car again.

    What I have done with it since Ive owned it:

    Lowered more
    Shadow lined
    Vette wheels
    swapped interior to Grey/Black Hounds tooth
    "IS" lip
    Polly motor mount bushings
    magnaflow resonator and muffler
    Euro Grills
    Rear plate filler
    Side Skirts
    Painted rear Valance
    And the super obvious ... Rusted trunk and Hood

    Major plans with the car is to LsX swap it and drive it eventually body work

    Onto the Pictures here it is when I first got it.....



    This is what it looks like right now....

      Nice looking ride! I LOVE those wheels, waiting for the day a set falls in my lap.

      It's a shame you came now, I just sold a oil pan I had modified for a LS1 swap.

      Oh, and as others told me when I flipped from VW, this is actually the good side. You will never go back to a tail dragger.

          On the right track, mostly...
          should have left the rust behind

                  Shouldn't have rusted the hood....

                  I remember this car from awhile back. I like it, a lot.

                                          Looks great except for hood, trunk, and kidneys. It you had left those stock it would be perfect IMO. Welcome!

                                          EDIT: Actually maybe trunk is fine, it looks kinda like you rusted that as well, but I can't tell now.

                                                  I personally liked the 7 slots better but thats just me.

                                                  everything else looks great though
