    My Free E30! Updated Pics

    Hello, just wanted to introduce myself. First off, this forum is awesome, tons of great info.

    I acquired this car because my friend recently got stationed in Hawaii and decided to take his Tacoma with him instead of the E30. So he handed of the title and now the car is with me in Texas :) Its mine at least for the next 5 years, that is if I want to give it back haha. Im a Honda guy but damn do I love this car.

    Specs:
    1990 Bronzit Sedan
    139K miles

    Overall the car is solid, I've been doing little things here and there. The interior is Perfect, the paint is a 7/10, the paint of the hood is gone.

    Stuff I've fixed/added:
    Replica IS lip
    Black Lip clips
    Oem Floor mat locks
    Fixed door weather stripping
    Fixed OBC
    Replaced OBC temp sensor
    Replaced missing clips and fasteners for battery cover and headlight covers
    Plasti dipped lower "Sideskirt"
    Clay bar/Cut/ polish/ wax

    Future mods/fixes:
    Shampoo Carpets
    Wheels and tires (Havent Decided)
    Coilovers
    Paint Intake manifold and valve cover
    Replace broken kidney grills
    Plasti dip chrome window trim
    Fresh Fluids for rear end/tranny/motor





    And a photo with my Supercharged Tundra

                  Sweet car, I didn't know people just gave away E30s. Can't wait to see the future updates and what you make of it.
                  The fun never ends :-?

                    I Plasti-dipped the faded grills


                    Tinted the amber corners red. I might clearcoat the entire thing to give it an even gloss

                        You are right about addiction, I cant stop searching ebay and craigslist haha.

                        No lie, this car is just as fun to drive as my S2000 was. Makes me want an E30 M3

                            Nice but be careful Bronzits seem to be involved in so many catastrophes.
