Very nice! I found a minty alpine 4 door myself. It was mostly stock, and automatic when I bought it. I've since upgraded the suspension, installed a rebuilt 5 speed and thrown some bbs on the car, its a hell of a daily driver.

Keep it clean!

I want to keep it basic as it will be my daily driver.

haha good luck with that. but good start :)

HA! Yeah those were my plans for my E30 that Im gonna daily, but the obsession has already started; within days of getting it, I had stripped the chrome trim and shadowlined it for God's sake. Ive got a stack of totally unnecessary goodies that are going on it asap, (smoked lenses, euro grills, is spoiler, etc..) Its over, Im totally screwed. It will never stop. It happens with every car I get. Started with Land Cruisers (and continues), then VWs, the E36 M3, Excursion 7.3L diesel, etc..... However, I did have an white 89 Civic Si hatchback years ago, I never spent a dime modding that stupid car. As a matter of fact, when the muffler rusted through, I just broke it all the way off and ran it without one until I sold it to some 16 year old! It was a hand-me-down, which I was grateful for, but Hondas suck. I was also looking at early 80s MB 300TDs (W203) with the diesel to daily, and Im wondering if that would have been a wiser choice as I doubt Id be as much into modding it as I am with this thing. Yeah right, Id probably be all into that whole veggie oil conversion thing by now....

edit: Sweet AW sedan, by the way!!

Welcome! Very cool

Thanks guys! Soooo I know I wanted to keep the car mostly stock but the little mods have been happening :D Put yellow Laminx on the fogs, found some "new" fogs on craigslist that have plastic lenses, E90 drop hats, bought euro grills from Abrahams and thats about it so far. I also cleaned up the bottle caps real nice since they had some grime caked on them. They'll work until I need new tires!

You may notice the trim around the rear passenger door is chrome, not black like the rest. I picked up a complete replacement door from bernzpeed (Christian) for a song, had it installed in half an hour and now my rear passenger window works Turns out whoever put the last door on (it used to be red) shoved a piece of wood in the door to hold the window up. Now I have an original white door, Alpineweiss 1 though, and a working window. Doesn't get better than that! Christian also sold me the center rear bumper trim piece since mine is broken on the driver side and has a bunch of gouges in it from when the PO lived in SF Hopefully can install that this weekend and shadowline the rest of the car, excluding the kidneys!

They have some bumps and bruises on them but nothing I shouldn't be able to fix myself. I especially like the motorsport centers :)
