[rcsoundn1]

6k in sound.....
Glad you found a car you like, now make it your s GL.

guys please give me a chance to do this i have my own plans once i am done then make fun of it lol

Calling your car a "whip" is still a thing?

Your chance was revoked when you called it a whip.

Good start for a build! You found one! I've been seeing you look for forever. And if you only spent 6k, that's just more to build it with!

Congrats! And yea theres things that arent up to R3V spec but they can all be changed in a weekend. Get those wheels on and the line will shift from "its a POS" to "its the best fuqn car evar bro!"

For me, everything I would do to ot is easy. So if the body is straight, and the motor is as healthy as its claimed than shit, perfect! Once you get rid of some of the red accents and break it up with the right parts (like it sounds like you plan on doing) the car will look amazing. I personally dont like the red all the way down, my late model rear valence was like that and I painted it black.

My car had a black late model valence and a black trunk lid when I got it. Its all easy to change...

Please paint the bumper trim.

-1 on painting bumper trim. I think it looks good. Enjoy

[ThatOneEuroE30]

Not bad. def get rid of the console, eyebrows and other "rice" items

[CorvallisBMW]

Needs more contrast. Paint the trim black.

Good pickup.. overall she looks clean. Few little changes and it'll look great

[Benjamin_Button]

This has nothing you were looking for? I think you let the milage dictate the price too heavily

[Isostar13]

Clean! Let's see what you can do with it.

I think you did well assuming the PO did do all that he said he did. A straight body is getting hard to find and to most, is the hardest thing. All those other smaller bits can be swapped out in an afternoon...if you wish.

I am not a OEM+ police to other cars, only to my own. If you like the brows, rock it. Its just not most of ours cup of tea. Stick around and lets see what you can do with your newish E30.

Well congrats on finally finding a car. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

As it sits I am not a fan but it has potential.

Guys, Kevin has his old totaled car. I tried buying his wheels from him but we couldn't make a deal, looks like there going on here. Anyways, he can easily swap all these lame parts like the console, headlights, ect. with his totaled car's.

Thanks man way to have my back it's like i said on my other "WTB thread"

found the car! not the one of my dreams but it's a low mileage "is" for a good deal.

I want to thank everyone who showed me their car and to all the people who gave me great help and advice through this search. will make a thread of the car when everything is situated and would love to hear the opinions of everyone good or bad. there are many things i want to change on the car so just know i bought the car the way it was ; )

i knew i was going to get shit but oh well i am super happy with this and i have 9 grand to play with! shit....

Hey kevin, you have a place that refinishes wheels right? i want to get my gold rs's redone if you can get back to me on that.

It's worth whatever you're willing to pay. If you're happy with it, cool.
Doesn't take much to make your car looking tasteful - so you're already a step ahead of some others who buy complete shit-piles for less.
Anyways, good luck with your platform. Looks straight.

Thanks man, yeah it had it's whole front redone also new rack and pinion and bunch of other shit i have all paper work for this and drives as straight as its body is. he really took care of it mechanically. that was my main goal to get a car that was very strong and dependable.
