After a year of searching, an Alpineweiß story

[iwantspeed]

I had friend of mine recently purchase a super clean e30 that i knew about, and shortly after buying it we headed to cars and coffee a local car show that has become huge in the last couple of years.


thanks fcb m3 for hooking me up with this hood, ended up selling my old hood for 50 bucks, and bought this one for 20, I clay bared it, waxed it, cleaned the cosmoline on the back side, replaced the hood emblem and hood shock and it looks half way decent,

can I also get a pic of the stuff you used for the cosmoline? :thumbsup:

I found a product that worked.
I'll send you a picture

Thanks

OP, can you just enlighten us with what worked for you? Afterall, this is a project thread.

For me, Simple Green and some Race Glaze worked okay but required A LOT of elbow grease. I'm curious what others are using...

This car is awesome! I've just spent the last 2 hours reading this thread and it's 2am here in Australia and I have to be up for work in 5 hours.

Your attention to detail is awesome, I wish I had the patience, skill and finesse you had. I'm too scared to do anything to my 325iS incase I fuck it up as they are rare as hell over here, and it's not cheap to maintain one either.

You need more Mtech II body kit ;), probably my most favourite feature of my iS.

Hello
Thanks for reading.
Mtech 2 kit around here goes for 1500-2000
If I was going to invest that amount of cash I would Rather do an engine swap
