Azevedo is a fucking hack! He is unproffesional and does illegal work!

Sorry to shit on your thread, your car's are the only legit cars that have come out of the shop.

Sounds like that song "JEALOUSY"....cars that go into his shop are as per customer's designs.

[northmiler89]

interesting...

are the m3 doors different than the regular e30 car doors? or can you get the m3 replica look with just the bumpers, skirts and fenders?

[fporro]

that looks absolutely amazing.

how difficult is it to get a hold of those M body panels? Any companies make and aftermarket OEM ones? Are they pretty much bolt on replacements too?

I am going to go with VERY difficult. But it would be cool if they could be sourced with just some $$

yet another sick ride of yours..

Here you go ...
Lets face it and not to take anything away from Vlad, as, some people has more free time than others.

Here's a guy that did his own thing, Not sure about those taillights and other cosmetics but to each it's own, He's in Los Angeles area, and had a chance to chat with him for a while, nice guy.
tons of pics ... http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=2122436865


I just wonder if there's any benefits / adverse effects from NOT cutting the oem rear 1/4 wheel wells ?,
as I thought M3 ones gave more room for bigger tires., is that so Vlad ?, did you cut your's ?

BTW, we ex-East Coaster do plan a group buy.,
we'll be ordering a few pies of plain Pizza, it will be greatly appreciated if you can fulfill our orders ASAP.

As for sausages, lol, i mean sources :) fiberglass parts ... http://fiberartz.com/e30.html

"If you don't know where you want to go..

how are you going to get there?"


Regardless of how it got done - it is clear that components and their conglomeration were considered in an effort to reach a package or result that has a greater value than the sum of said components.

Nothing about the orchestration was haphazard.

It's like a semi-artistic facsimile of what the factory should have manufactured if a no-limits approach had been taken.

The fuckin car is sweet. Truly. Fuckin. Sweet.

Why would one bother to care how it how it was accomplished?

I see your point. Beautiful car. Nicely done. I guess for me though, I'd be much more impressed with the guy that put his sweat into it. That being said, Swet ride, very nice job.

No doubt, Cool car but I'd be more impressed if you built it.

Flamesuit on:

You did a formidable job cutting a check(s)

Azevedo, to me, is a proffesional who apparently does top notch work.

[sticksdaman]

i guess paycheck modding is still modding albiet impersonal

sick nonetheless

... I just don't get the big "wow" here. You had an idea, albiet not a creative one, and got a shop to do all the work.

R3v, on the other hand, is a collection of guys who use each other's help and tools that rival fred flinstone's to do engine swaps. That to me has a wow factor.

Your caris like a breitling watch: Pretty & Pricey

Credit where due: you must've dropped over 25k usd on that thing as a side project, what ever you do in life must pay well.


No hard feelings, cool car
Julien

There is nothing new here. That is the way all of Vlad's cars have been. While I agree with you to an extent, Vlad still has awesome taste and his cars are still incredible. He could have also paid them a lot of money to make some tasteless show car, and they would have taken his money either way.

Sweet ride. But X 2. Paying to build a dream car is less than impressive to me. The guys that built it deserve the credit for the photo shoot and the praise for the way it came out.

[Teaguer]

i find myself drooling over that strut tower bar..
three-point connection.
dual-bar, semi-trellis framework.
damn - very fitting to convertible-chassis-stiffening efforts..
fuckin bravo to the orchestration of optimization !

Thats a John Mason strut bar .
He makes THE bEST strut bars for BMW's out there .

You can buy from him or you can help out a couple local dudes and buy it from vorschlag.com and maybe save a few bucks .
