    April 2020 Car of the Month: Aprilscherz Cabrio

    ***Editors Note: Not all E30s get this kind of love and treatment. When I heard this car was being built, I was very excited and as you can see, the attention to detail on this is amazing. Congrats Mike***


    Factory options: Euro 323 m-tech

    Color: Schwarz

    Interior color: Natur

    Engine modifications: Stock

    Exhaust: Stock

    Transmission: Stock

    Differential: Stock Open

    Suspension: Custom Lowering Kit

    Wheels: BBS RS

    Exterior modifications: Paint Matching in Tamiya Black, All red taillights, smoked kidneys

    Interior modifications: Cardinal Red Extended

    Story behind the car: This was one of those lucky finds when you werent planning or expecting it, but when I saw it I had to have it. I knew immediately what I wanted, but as usual there were some things that immediately had to go. This wasnt a real ///M car so those graphics had to go. The wheels screamed 80s so I felt those needed to be updated to the correct BBS style. Once that was done, the ride height needed to be corrected, and man oh man am I glad I did. I get all the Barbies now. Still not content with it though, I decided to update the interior from the boring Natur Tan to a Sexy Cardinal Red. Now I am chased by all the Barbies as I roll down PCH. Then the piece de resistance, an OEM Hardtop with carrier. I prefer to have the top down (just like my ladies), so its nice to have the carrier. However, it certainly looks the part when installed on the car, would you agree? Enjoy, ya jackholes!









    With the hardtop on






    Mid Build, looked good, but I wasnt done yet!










    How it looked brand new! Not bad, but definitely needed work

      Whether or not this is an April Fools joke, it is still AWESOME and definitely deserves it's own COTM. Very cool!

            This is excellent! The hardtop and rack are nice accessories! You should do a diorama of a garage to scale and put that vert in it.
