2nd e30, 87 Lachssilber Revival

[Reichart12]

If one color could be 50 shades of grey it would be an E30 lachs.

Thanks for the effort of using a nice camera. Its refreshing for the eyes.

Looking forward for more progress and E30 life updates!

Thanks. The clearcoat was mostly gone when I bought the car so I've spent almost no time trying to detail it or revive the paint. Almost wrapped it blue awhile ago but some other things came up.

That photo is also right after the 2.9L swap. Wish that engine could have last longer but oh well.

Watched. Liked. Cool video! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! Hope to make some longer videos in the near future.

I use this App called KineMaster on my iPad and since I’m not using any fancy hardware it’s all relatively easy to use and it includes some free music and sound fx, but I can also draw music in from my iTunes also. Haven’t really used much music yet because I ramble too much lol

My rambling videos will come soon. I'm aiming to get one video out every Tuesday so we will see how that goes. Tried to record changing the brakes on the truck but haven't looked at the footage yet. Probably just a two minute time lapse of me struggling to get the caliper off haha.

I had some free trial to a website called Epidemic. I think it will bite me in the ass eventually though. A subscription to them provides licensed music but I imagine once I stop paying the subscription they can block the videos for copyright.

The YT audio library I'd assume, there are some good things there.

View given, wondering what that white stuff is, as it's 70F back in MD.

Sweet, thank you. Just trying to get that 80s feel with some white powdery stuff everywhere

Trying to get into making car videos so I made one of my e30. Happy I can stitch clips together and add music. Shaky, yes. Done on a GoPro. Keep checking in, hopefully I improve this year. Go to Youtube, please give me views there.

I wish I could keep a car for that long lol... congrats on 7, I’m sure it will be a around for a lot longer

Ehh, was a daily, then sat for awhile, now a weekend nice weather car. The only things that could change me to get rid of it would be a clean early shell or a clean affordable wagon.

Hit 7 years of ownership. Install a voltmeter in place of the fader switch. That photo is still on my camera. But the car and myself are on our way back to Montana where it's already snowy so don't expect any more updates until late March or April. Hopefully I will go to an early season autocross or something.

Looks good wet.
