Demanding More pics!!!

well, I was busy, the July 3rd photoshoot with Levent and DisasterInc, then July 4th fireworks, then I had my wisdom tooth surgically removed today, so hopefuly, I'll get to work on it more this week.
There is really not that much left to do, put the windshield back in, clean the interior, wash the carpet, replace the soft top, install the sideskirts and the rear bumper with the rear valence, install new wheels and do the photoshoot :D

..and then most likely post up another project before these pics are ever released, which is probably going to be along the lines of an S62 E30 Touring with a 6spd SMG Tranny and 16x9f/16x10r BBS RS's and the car painted in British Racing Green, and Recaro Pole Position Seats wrapped in Modena Leather with E30 M3 rear seats also wrapped in Modena.

All I have to say is: Do it.

awesome looking vert you got, drop it and it will be hot !
The spoiler on mine is from the iS with the splitter added to it.

PS I got the same set of rims as yours that may go on my vert ;)

Looks like a Rieger lip to me Vlad?

Wow, those 2 verts look damn similar, even down to the yellow lights. Crazy!

[mr.happy]

Is there a paint line on the splitter where it touches the spoiler?

wait until its all done then you will see that my vert is very different !

I believe yours will look awesome :p. It was pure coincidence that I put the yellow/smoke lights on mine and my car is red too. I really enjoy reading your restorations and the great job you do with all these e30's to bring the back to life. Big Respect !! :up:.. Can't wait to see the final result.

OK MAJOR UPDATE - it's getting closer to the completion !


Just need to install the Reiger side skirts and the rear bumper with ACS valence (it will get painted tomorrow)



bought mint condition tail lights but the gaskets were shot



here we go - new gaskets !



then Levent ZM-Blue-Devil came in and installed the cluster with painted needles, Metal rings and an Alpina decal







Levent also helped me BIG TIME by bringing his magic box full of cleaning solutions, just take a look at the carpet and the seats

before



after



the seats



also, I finally balanced the rims/tires and put them on the car







ok, here is my question - which mirrors to keep ?

DTMs (seen on the driver's side)



Stock OEM (seen on the on the passenger's side)





few more pics
