Lower Standards + Rust = Feature?

Honestly, I really dont get it. Turbos are cool and so are RSs, but the rust and overall lack of giving a shit about the body is upsetting. I know thats the "look" youre going for, but it looks like a beat piece of shit. But whatever.

Says the guy parting an e30 ;) All the raw parts are there, put it all an a clean shell and the members will drool.

read his build, this scheme is perfect for the car.

Not a big fan of rust, but great looking car. Have you considered stripping the paint and hitting it with polish? Would look super cool.

tell me your wheel specs bro!

Haha, you and the rest of instagram would love to know ;)

Same car as in your sig and build thread?? Looks like youve come a long way! looking great!!! I love Patina, and love when the wheels are worth more than car hahaha.

Keep it up

Same car! Still the 87 325is coupe I started with

What no engine bay shots?!?!?! Nice feature Belina. Glad you ended up with my old wheels and did something with them.

Rust and Rat Rod has been an in/out fad since the 1940's dude. I tuned this car, it's very quick, turns heads and he has been driving/tracking it all over the state. It serves it's purpose and he likes it, that's what matters.
I remember the day there was paint stripper shavings all over the shop floor lol.

When sitting at meets, guess who's car has the crowd around it? Not the 17 e30's in a row with euro trim, iS lips and m50 swaps, everyone is checking this thing out ;)

Thanks John :D I'm glad I got them too, they had the potential to look great, and now they do! Yeah, people don't seem to understand that rust is not solely a VW thing; rat rods have been around for decades. I wasn't inspired by any 90s trends on GTIs or Golfs....

I witnessed him trying to do a burnout at SoWo, wasn't working too well(I think there were a bunch of people in the car) but good god did it make some good noises.

Lol Spencer, that was part of the problem. The other part was a bad AFM that wasn't properly metering the air. That's all been taken care of so I can shred tires with no issues now :pimp:

depends^:p

Not really my taste, but in person..looks great. Looks better to me now than at the old school meet. Cool dude too!

It was nice meeting you to. Very nice s14 swap

I don't know if "lack of giving a shit about the body" would hold up in a real argument. It's really only a light surface rust. And behind all of that, all rust and rot has been fixed(spare my drivers side quarter panel). It also has some nice OEM upgrades. Yeah, it may look like a beat piece of shit to you, but I can guarantee that if I were to knock off all the surface rust and paint it it would have less rust & rot than a lot of e30s on the road.

Stripping the rust you mean and polishing the bare metal? Yes, but the car is way too bright when it's like that. It's blinding to drive.
