Elevate's E30 Evolution

Wow, I was really considering selling my 4-door diving board but now.. not so fucking much.

F me... this car is so legit. Awesome transformation. Keep it up.

[MR 325]

Excellent.

Now it looks legit man! They allow you guys to drive hoodless down there? That must sound fucking awesome under heavy load too.

I passed a few cops with no problems. I could really hear the engine sucking air without the hood. It was pretty sweet!

Q: Whats wrong with this picture?


A: The paint on the hood is complete shit. I bought it with some clear coat fade and tried to remedy it with a home spray-paint job. It looked good for about a year then slowly faded to some real white trash looking crap. So, the other day I dropped the hood off at a local paint shop and drove hoodless for a day.



I picked it back up today and am super happy with it! I should have done it years ago.



New Roundel (from the dealership - $34. Ouch!!)

I'm very curious to hear whether you find that the strut bar has any appreciable difference in in the car's handling. I'm considering getting one myself.

Great work on this car! An inspiration to me with my Schwartz Sedan!

I've had the e30 m3 wire harness cover sitting around for almost a year. I went to install a strut bar and found that the e36 wire cover wasn't going to leave enough room. Soooo, time to do the e30 cover. It was a bit of a pain, but the results were very much worth the effort!

Love your style! It's done in very good taste. The nicest early model for sure. I wouldn't change a thing.

I feel like everyone responds to the first post. Mods please move this to the project subforum.

I must say that I am not a fan of 4 dr, but damn, you made a believer out of me... Good Job!

[bernzpeed]

I love it. That's exactly what I envisioned the kind of E30 I want.

[cbouchez]

Amazing job! Well done.

your car makes me regret selling the early black 4dr I owned.....
