Lost in transition

[Jand3rson]

After the last few weeks of mid-20's termperatures, we hit 65 today, so it was time to pull the E30 out and give her a bath. There was so much dust on the car that it was starting to look kind of a satin tan/grey color, it was bad. So nothing special here, just nice and clean again for now, and a decent view of the rear apron mounted.





When I got finished washing it, I took it out for a quick 5 minute drive, too. I didn't realize how much I'd missed driving it. No cluster and no muffler. Damn, that was fun... :D

And check out my new whip in the second pic, '86 Toyota pickup with 93k miles, $300. Can't beat that for a winter beater.

that thing is gonna be hot once its all done. if you're going with plastic bumpers, are you gonna do the shadowline?

Just the inner section of the window trim will be shadowlined, like on the non-iS late model cars. Someone pointed out to me that the chrome window trim sets off the machined lip of my wheels really nicely, and I agreed, so I decided to just do the partial shadowline. It also won't be as succeptable to chips, being the inner section.

Nice deal on the Toyota. Is it carb'd or fuel injected?

BTW, nice body kit.

[uofom3]

that car really is damned clean

Plastic swaps FTW! I can't wait till I get my rear valance and skirts on my swapped car. We can have our own section at the picnic. :P

Before I read that you bought it , I was like : that Toyota Hilux looks in might good shape still! :D

How does one go about getting that rear apron? And also, what are your thoughts on said apron wit euro chromies?

[JeffNJM3]

Don't get me wrong, your car is really nice and all, but you should keep super sweet rides like that dodge caravan with the real imitation woodgrade out of the backrounds of your pics, everyone's gunna be looking at the van and completely pass by your car :)

sweet dude

Yeah, the white-trash taxi is one of my neighbors across the street.

Thanks for all the comments, I hope to have that rear apron painted very soon, then I'll get the rear bumper mounted for a couple of teaser pics.

BTW, if you're all wondering why I didn't post any pics of the front end, I figured we'd all seen enough pics of MikE30325i's car. :up:

Looks nice Josh--did you pull the moldings to replace them with late-model ones? When will the plastic bumpers be on?

That mini van would only be hot if it was a factory turbo van ;) . Your car will look great when done, and with a carbon fiber licence plate filler. Are those R3VLimited.com decals still avalible?
