    Happy Thanksgiving pics!

    Well living in SoFL there really is not the change of season that you guys get up north. I think it is like in the mid 70's today. So my car needed a bath and I was bored waiting on dinner so I ran out and snapped a few pics. I have not posted in some time with pics and the car has been though a lot. On the outside though you can only tell with the new Mtech1 tail on the Mtech2 body. What are your thoughts on this?

    Anyway have a wonderful Thanksgivng!

        Im working on the inside right now, I do not like showing pics until its done. I just got to save up for new carpet. Its like $500 from the dealer. I want to go OE because the carpet that is in there now is one of those aftermarket kits and it really sucks!

        As for an early car, yes its an 86. It is a true Mtech2 kit that has been modified to fit the early cars. I did not do it, I picked up the car with the kit already done. I have since repainted the car and dumped more than I like to count into her. Im building a SC S50 motor but just coming out of the hospital my funds have halted the project. SC and motor might be up for sale. Im trying to hold on to her and finish sometime next summer!

        Thank you!

            I did not do the kit myself. I purchased this car already done. Who ever did it though did a wonderful job or paid some good money to have it done.

                  One of my favorite E30's on the board, hands down. I LOVE early model cars with M-Tech II kits, and I also really like the M-Tech I wing with the M-Tech II kit. Badass.

                        Wait a second, so thats replica M-Tech II?

                        Very, very cool. Is that an E28 wing?

                          no fake, true kit cut to fit! Verify all part numbers and badges if have to!

                          And yes that is the E28 tail. I like it better than the E30 tail for some reason.

                          Thank you for the kind words, the car has been really fun but a real pain. I just restored the bottom of the car. New everything! The only thing left is the motor swap and the carpet inside. The car needs a new radio but Im holding out for the AVIC N1 and cant find one that I can afford at this time. But Ill get one!


                          The diff and tie rods are already in the trunk of the car when pic was taken!







                          This is the rear sub frame with new lsd diff, all new bushings, new brake lines and brakes, and ground control setup. 44olbs front and 750 lbs in rear. Car drives like a dream!

                            Awesome looking car man, I love it!

                            Considered a Euro rear plate filler?

                              yes the plate filler is on my list. I have thought I had gotten one from the EE but someone sold it from under me! No names!

                              Sometimes I get lazy and over look this item. Abrams is local FL to me and I just have not done it. (----- slacker! But anyway thank you!
