I figured I was finally ready to show what I've done to my car, here's a brief history..
I bought the car for $2000 when I was 16. it is/was a 1986 alpine white 325e with tinted windows, aftermarket 5 spokes, sport interior, and an is front spoiler. I bought the car with plans for plastic bumpers and an engine swap.

brief parts upgrade list:
bilstein HDs
bav auto springs
3.73 lsd
M30 B34 (from e23 L7)-thanks funk!
funkmasta motor mounts
getrag 260

I also one day decided I wanted to paint the car while it was sitting in my garage waiting for the M30, $90 roller job that turned out pretty well imo. I'm very proud of everything I've done to this car. I have learned a lot just going down and tinkering with shit, and would say I did a pretty good job on it all considering Im just a youngin (18) and don't really have any friends who like to do this sort of stuff. I have to thank Joe Funk once again for providing me endless info, parts, and brief employment lol.

let me know what you think,
Billy

Looks like a project... Time to throw all the little shit together so you can drive that thing..

And I want to see more of that rear valence...

[Snoopy]

yeah its not fully road ready yet, I still have to splice the c101 and steal the rear bumper strip from my calypso cabby. its hard to take pictures in the garage cause its a tight squeeze but I'll roll it out and try and take some better pics

The interior looks pretty clean. Whats up with the lack of a shifter?

looks pretty good for a project, I agree that a nice buffing will do wonders for that paint.

I miss being elbow deep in my e30. Gotta schedule some more quality time with her. Good work, sir.

Just out of curiosity, how'd you paint it?

I am reeeally liking you're car, and I'm no expert but I think you did a fantastic job on the bumper swap, too.

hey e30frost, miss working on your e30? Wanna replace a clutch for me;)

[blunttech]

it looks like it was painted with a brick but who cares. nice work on the bumpers and swap. that will be a fun car and you can set tools on it . its nice to have something you can drive the shit out of and not worry about a nick or scratch. good job, especially for a youngin
