    Rare vert: Quick pics of my Dad's spring project

    So my dad is getting to work on his vert next spring to get some things restored. It's a solid car and pretty rare: 86 diamondschwartz 5 speed euro convertable with just over 100k on it with a cardinal interior (the seats were just re-done and they look awesome). Car is dirty from sitting in the garage but it should clean up well. Tried to get him to sell it to me for 1k but no dice. Hopefully we finish this car, my m3, and his m3 this year. Pics are not great, but it's a fairly rare bird with this color combo and the mileage is pretty low for a 1986 car.





    Interior




    Leather visors - just noticed these today - pretty cool:


    New seats


    Trying to get him to do some 16+ inch RS wheels and sport springs but he will probably keep it stock - has a set of euro 15 in weaves that he bought new from the dealer he will probably put on - tends to like to keep the cars factory. Either way - should be a clean car when done.

                  I know. I had the same one. Just looks out of place to me.
