I love this car, just got a new radiator, should have seen the old one. This car is old and has a few creeks and rattles, but the curves and blown shocks make up for it all!!

I may post a picture of the radiator, you woudl be surprised!

Should I black out my centers?

[spencers]

huh

[bmw4life]

not sure what you mean by centers, but if you mean black out the grill then yes i think it would look good

[nando]

hmm 100% bone stock ETA with a spray painted kidney.. please don't. :)

[kylebes1]

Reall never have liked the blacked grills except on the e46. I ment the bottle cap wheels. Should I pain the center part black and the lip what silver? Need something because five lug conversion will take place next summer and the engine soon, so I cannot waste money on wheels.

A stock eta with blown shocks is my guess.

Blown shocks and engine swaps mix perfectly.

Blown shocks and engine swaps mix perfectly.

Don't forget worn brakes. And bald tires.

[kylebes1]

new tires, and suffecient brakes, I was waiting untill I do the engine swap to find out what springs I would need. Depending on the block. I most likely will use Bilstein Sport shocks. If I can get a donor car I will do the five lug so the brakes will be better, but if i use the aluminum m52 block then the weight will not increase all that much, I may just attempt to change the rear drums to discs from another e30.
What brakes are others using after the m50 swap?
It is a 84 318i, why would it be an eta?

Man I can't get over how big those diving board bumpers are, it looks ridiculous. You US guys have it rough I reckon.

Sounds like you got interesting plans for the car though.

[parkerbink]

I like my diving boards!

I like my diving boards!

Hey now, nobody likes a liar.

I bet you'd rethink that once you figured out that the plastic bumper/valence upgrade is pretty much a direct swap on all e30 convertibles. ;)

[parkerbink]

Really I do, they let me bump things lol
