So we've been dealing with Frank Ocean for about a year and a half now, after he purchased an E30 from out of state that had a number of issues. After addressing the issues with the car he purchased, we decided it was better to start with a new platform for the project he wanted. As a result we planned a ground-up rebuild of an E30, which we've slowly been building over the past year. Anyway, the car will finally be finished within the next 2 months, and we will post plenty of pics and details on the build.
Spec list of the car:
S54 + 6 speed swap
RMS Stage 2 supercharger set-up with Miller Performance tuning
Real 4 door M-tech 2 kit
Right hand drive conversion per Frank's request
E30 M3 5-lug
Staggered 17" Alpinas,
Custom metal flares front and rear
Fresh Lexus Moon-stone paint
Custom re-upholstered interior
Custom sound system
etc.
About a month ago Frank gave us a call, and asked if he could borrow a few cars, and some time at the shop to do a photoshoot with GQ magazine. Well, needless to say, we were more then willing to take on this opportunity! Our cars and the shop made it into 3 of the 4 photos in this month's GQ article on Frank named "Ocean-ography." Here is the link to the article:
