Why is there overspray on the wheels in the first two pics, but then not in the latter pics?

It is probably just dust. From the prep work if they didn't wash the car... like they should before a paint job.

He put on the nice pair he had because he knew he was going to post these on r3v, and if he had the oversprayed wheels in the pictures, tons of dudes would give him shit.

Little did he realize!

lol!

Those are the same wheels. The painter sprayed some kind of liquid soap in several parts of the car including the wheels for protection. When he was done painting the car he washed the wheels and put some armorall on the tires.

You can see the last two pictures at the end of the short album. I still have a long way to go before the car is completely assembled.

Enjoy.

You live next to a sheriff? Ruh roh! I need to find out where all of these people are getting the sub 1K e30's at. I'm in need of a DD beater.

Hehehe, too bad the left hand side sheriff was not at home when I took the picture.

I am sandwished between two sheriffs.

I'm the complete opposite of Jordan in the bodywork department. I had a smashed fender from someone backing into me. The 'fix' was taking the fender off and letting 3 friends go at it with a baseball bat and hammer to get it "smoothed up" and roll the fender all in one. As long as the engine runs like a top and suspension setup allows for high entry/exit speeds, I'm happy.

I find the ownership demographics of these cars interesting. In another thread I posted how iconic they are. People of all ages fall in love with them. The styling is timeless.

We are all at different stages in our lives. Some are high school students, others are college educated professionals (30+). Personally, I am looking for a clean, well maintained, 318is. I don't car about miles as long as it is clean. This car will be a weekend toy for me to cruise around in. I want to slam it on some BBS RS's or OZ Futuras and call it a day. Felgen-man style. :D Hell, I'm sure I will spend more on wheels, than I do the car.

Also, cars mean different things to different people. To my girlfriends family, a car is point A to point B. To me, its all about the journey and the car used to get there. A car is an extension of my personality.

To the OP, I live in Miami too. I guess I need to come to Hialeah to find a $800 318is. That is the exact car I am looking for!

Well, I bought the car in Kendall ;)

The paint job is better than what most people can imagine. I look forward to meet you guys at the next FL meet.
