1992 Alpine Cabrio

[bradthreee]

Thanks for all the ideas guys, need to do more research and see what type of cup holder or car phone was there before, unless I can find a good replacement panel at the junk yard.

As far as the pipes being crushed, I don't know what happen as I purchased the car that way. It's low as fuck so I'm sure that had something to do with it. Also it doesn't have a muffler, but the straight pipes actually don't sound bad at all. Has a nice growl.

The car is way too low specially out back so I do need to order some new springs. I've browsed through the cabrio lowering thread and cannot come to a decision based on the pictures I've seen. Any insight as to a good set that sits nice please let me know as it's high on my list of priorities for the car.

As far as the painted rocker panels I'm totally on board with going back to black. That's how it originally came from the factory and that's the direction I'd like to go with the cars exterior minus suspension and wheels of course. I'd like to pay the PDR guy a visit before I get anything painted though.

All in due time my friends

Looks like a good start. Clean. Check out ground control adjustable height coil over sleeves.

Some small updates. Picked up some aluminum window trim from the junk yard, polished up the anodize and installed it.

Also snapped a few pics of the interior, I know the fronts are off a newer bmw but are the back seats e30?

Good looking vert!

Yep rear seat look to be stock, but with the optional headrests!

Thanks for the kind words Zacm829!

Installed a Euro plate filler. I'm very happy with the results!

Took her out for a spin today with the top down

Redid the faces on the wheels


Currently looking for spacers, I'm unsure what size to get as these wheels are 17x7 et38 and 17x7.5 et33. I was thinking either 20mm or 25mm. Any input?

Also I have a line on a set of used H&R cabrio springs. Hope to have them sometime next week

So I decided to go with a set of H&R 20mm spacers with these wheels. I installed them today and am pretty happy with the outcome. I just ordered a set of H&R springs to take care of that sagging booty.

Looking real good. Keep it up. Look forward to seeing the bottoms painted. Also have you thought about painting the spoiler black? It could be a nice contrast.

Thanks Link! I like your idea of painting the spoiler black, I may do that when I get the rockers done.

You should make it lower.

All red tails installed today. Shitty pics but it was already getting dark.

What springs are those? I kinda feel you went a bit too far in the opposite direction...
