The wifes ETA, or, what H&R sports do to a DB car

[adept]

Wow reminds me of mine, like 15 years ago. I still LOVE seeing clean stock ones around. I get a real jolly out of that. Its rare to see one thqats cared for by an obious non-enthusiast. Id like to have that car in my posession for a few hours, I would throw an INSANE detailing its way. It would look like it came out of the showroom. Im the only person I have heard of that considers detailing a car fun/therapeutic/relaxing.

your exhaust is still crooked :)

Did you get that subframe installed yet?

[T Verdier]

some euro bumpers would make it sweet looking. The only reason I don't is because I like my snow plow vallence.

yeah i hear ya. its her first car and id like to maintain some sort of crash safety on it. after she saw the last pics she said the bumpers on her car were nasty, plastics it is i guess.:p

god, what an improvement!
IMO, any e30 4d looks perfect at this height.
Actually, now, The older model bumpers are starting to grow on me!
Great job.

[Stephen]

Yes! The late model valance makes such a difference, especially paired with an IS or volvo(if you swing that way) lip

If you were keeping the DBs, id say get some smoked turns too

[elsabor67]

Really clean look. What kind of Lic. plate lights are you using?

got em off ebay. they work alright, but not perfect. the left side one flickers from time to time. i dont know if its quality control or something legit electrical wise.

its not getting a IS lip mostly because i fear it will get ran into a curb and or stolen where she parks it.

thanks for the comments guys, its tentatively up for sale actually. check the FS ads.

And there it sat for approx 4 weeks. New heart transplant should be complete in a week or two. And I am the proud new owner after spending many hours maintaining this lil daily for the last 2 years. She will now assuredly, never die. :)

Nice shot, keep the DB's for the days of inattentive parking moments. LOL.

[Leaf]

Tuck them DB's for now n new pix!
