      Very nicely done. Curious if I will ever get a chance to see it, if you ever find yourself in the Biloxi/Ocean Springs area.

        As a matter of fact, I will be down there next weekend at the Beau Rivage...isn't there a LA/MS meet that is coming thru the Gulf Coast next Saturday? If so, I can hang around there to meet up. Let me know.

          thanks luke. cept i dunno what model i have.


          car looks sick. makes me want to do a bumper swap on the ETA. pointed out the muffler tip issue, check. needs more of a square side skirt to mesh with the front lip and rear valance. other than that i am impressed.

          whos m3 in the back ground of the paint booth pics?

            Great work on the car. It looks fabulous from every angle in the photos.

            I actually enjoyed doing a similar renovation to my 325i...and I would be lying if I said I am not looking for another E30 to do it all over again.

            Once again, great work, and good eye for a 'proper' look.

                first - nice collection you have, you should take the group pic, all your cars look awesome !

                second - exceptional restoration project, the attention to details was perfect, everything was done right, even driving it without the winshield in the cold - these memories will stay forever ! I went thru bunch of these restorations and know exactly what it takes, job well done !

                this was my last project - http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=110963

                third - exhaust tips: just go to a muffler shop and have them weld the tips on so that they will exit straight, not on the angle like all e30s. I had the same rear valence and was faced with the same dilema, but in the end it came our pretty nice

                  Now THAT is what I have been looking for in regards to exhaust tips...thanks for pointing that out, Vlad-for some reason I had forgotten about your gorgeous 'vert and the rear valence. I was thinking the same thing, but the exhaust shops around here...let's just say I don't trust them to do it right. I will have to find a good shop out of town.

                  Being as you are in the body and paint business, it feels good to hear you say that we did this one right-I really appreciate that.

                      Very possibly we will be doing the same thing to the M3 this coming summer, and if we do I will definitely have a thread showing the process.

                          Great work!

                          I really like how the rear valence is flush with the back.
