13 months of e30 ownership

[vfstyles]

I bought this car just over a year ago. The PO had shoestrung, ducttaped, and garden hosed the bitch together to limp it along until it developed a massive fuel leak and he parked it. it was rotting away under a tree for six months before i bought it. soon afterward the rebuild began. i spent most of the fall/winter fixing it. I began daily driving it in January and haven't looked back.

Great job. I haven't decided whether I like the wheels or not but everything else looks good.

Good save!

Nay on the wheels. Other than that, it look s good.

[vfstyles]

Ford skirts?

yeah

i wanted to paint it like that since i bought my e30. my other car is red also and has similar paint scheme. didnt see too many like it on the web for inspiration so i was concerned on how it would come out. i fivin love it

personally i dont like the wheels either. at the time, i had 5 baskets and 5 bottlecaps all of which where horribly out-of-round. i bought the 15's from a friend for $100 because i needed something that wasnt bent to hell.

thanks again for the kind words.

I just really hate those VW style wheels man. On any car.
Paint looks nice though...
Stance is good.

[gearheadE30]

Like it except for the wheels and oversize tires.

What's up with the gangsta-lean passenger seat?

How much did you pay for it originally? It looked like it was really straight when you got it. I wish my paint was nice :(
