Hello R3v, meet my first car

[freeride53]

looks phenomenal! pretty dope for a first car, take good care of it!
my e30 was also my first (technically second) personally-funded car, twas a great feeling

[el bimmer]

wow super clean! Great find and IS. Super bad ass!

[obes]

awesome start!

Shift boot was torn so I changed it out. Changed the brake boot as well so it wouldn't be mismatched. Can someone tell me what those rivets are for?

Please take the Bbs caps off then... But so clean besides that

yea yea I know :p I'm trying to look for caps with the roundel on them

look into 303 aerospace protectant. my interior looks as good as the day acquired from the dealer 20+ years ago. you can find it at boat supply shops like west marine.

How much does it cost usually?

Very nice! Only mod i would do is a chip, and maybe lower it a tad. But it looks great! Having an e30 for a first car is a great feeling. Enjoy it!

PO put a dinan chip in, should I change it with something else? And I was planning on putting a coilover kit in and dropping a bit lower but that would be in the future

Love the interior man.

They appear to be the craftsmanship of the PO.

car is clean man..dont fall to the chrome side..boots look good 2 and you dont gotta take the caps off..its your car rock what you got

[e30trooper]

Clean start! Needs more pix!

Painted stripes faded completely away from the metal band at the bottom of the wheel so I did a quick redo of them using some vinyl I had laying around. Gave them less of an angle b/c I liked it better that way.

Also picked up some OE floor mats from Jeff (redsubdivisions) so my carpet won't get dirty :p. Great seller

They appear to be the craftsmanship of the PO.

But I've seen those same rivets on two other e30's that I checked out before my purchase, did the car have a carphone option or something?

Clean start! Needs more pix!

lol here you go. It's a rainy day today

thanks, and yea I know, but I've been on the fence about my grills. I was originally looking for a silver/grey shadowline that I would accent black (the iS spoiler, lip, grill, etc). But with a black car, I'm not so sure. I kinda like the contrast the chrome gives

[e30construction]

yea i feel ya im just into the black look i guess..our cars are completly alike lol besides the wheels..i plan to paint my silver door trim
