Hi everyone this is my BMW e30 Cabrio
M20b25
Model Year 1986

M-tech I
Coilover
Keskin 16x9″ Rims
I buy the car in October 2010 in a bad shape.
Spring 2011 I start the restoration,

Start by removing the engine, clean it, paint it and replace the gaskets. My Friend Arnar Leví helped me with that.

Because we had started all this work, why not paint the entire car ? Didn't look so good before.

Was asked to park the car in the local mall because of the launch of GTA V

photo 4 by Arnar Leví, on Flickr
Now the car is pretty good in my opinion, just little things left, rubber mouldings front and rear bumper, and some more.
Bought new head lights "Hella Dark" replicas
The car has been nominated for "Car of the year" in the Icelandic BMW club www.BMWkraftur.is
Today the car sits in the garage waiting for next summer :)
Thank you for your time :)
