1991 Calypso Coupe

[E30NJ]

Awesome find! Are you going to convert it to stick?

[shadowbethesda]

Thank you!

It's going to stay stock. I plan to use the same money I would have spent on the conversion to keep it in perfect running and looking condition.

Wooooohhh jealous! That color is amazing!

I just finished up the convertible I bought a few months ago and realized that I am not a convertible kind of guy.

Don't get me wrong... I like the way they look and I like riding in them, but I don't want to own one.

buys another vert. the e30 struggle is real, I love it!

[shadowbethesda]

It's been awhile... To be quite honest I haven't driven the car since I bought it and have been to busy to work on it. I finally took it to a shop in Herndon, Va to get the service done because all my other projects are killing me.

On the menu:
New steering rack and lower steering coupling
Timing belt and tensioner
Water pump
Thermostat
Inner/outer tie rods
Transmission fluid and filter
Differential fluid
Oil/filter
Guibo/center support bearing


And now the other stuff to come:
One ding in trunk lid (from the wind and my motorcycle tipping over)
Rear Valence rust repair
Front air dam clips
Stereo
Power lock module
Valve cover leak
Valve adjustment
Recharge R12 in AC
New propeller emblems
Deep clean and polish and wax
Intake boot
New plugs/Distrbutor Cap and Rotor
Fuel filter
Air filter
Catalytic converter shield
Sunroof headliner
Keyless entry/Alarm
Basketweave's/Tires
Suspension
Husco armrest installation
Sunroof headliner repair
Legal tint

Nope, I never learn. Review on shop to follow as well.

Ok so what's been done to the car?
New plugs, rotor and cap
New timing belt, tensioner and water pump
New thermostat
New drive belts
New cam seal
New transmission filter and fluid
New ok and filter
New differential fluid

Next it's off the stereo shop to get my new deck put in and a new keyless system. Then the body shop.

Absolutely beautiful. Keep up on the good work, it looks like a stellar car. I'm also jealous yours is going into the body shop :sigh:

[shadowbethesda]

Thank you. My friend Bluntech is about to get another big order from me tonight. I'm replacing all the impact strips and the front airdam as well.

Damn, you must have a lot more money than I do lol.

[shadowbethesda]

Nah, he's got good prices and I budget for this stuff. And zero percent for 12 months on credit cards is awesome ;)

[shadowbethesda]

Dirty...


Clean...

[shadowbethesda]

Oh and the name and review of shop I went to?

Delta Auto in Herndon, Va. Great shop and he likes E30's. I highly recommend them.

Beautiful Calypso

[IzzY_325is]

Oh calypso with a tan interior, very yes.

[shadowbethesda]

The bottlecaps need cleaning up too. Although I have a set of basketweaves I am not ready to spend the money on refinishing them them yet.

So for the time being:



I have the fourth it's just not pictured.
