    First pic of my bebe in socal.
    A few of misfortune events in recent months delayed its arrival, but it's finally here, in all (minus one centercap :( ) of its glory!

        Car's looking great. Noticed in your sig you're doing a Peugeot (not sure if I missed you talking about it in this thread someplace). Anyhow, thought you might enjoy this pic from our last rallycross......guy showed up with a beautiful-condition 505. Was really surprised he came out and got it all dirty :) What model is yours?

          Same car! That's Arun, I used to frequent a Peugeot forum and his brother is the administrator. His brother, Rabin, has a bunch of Peugeots and lives in Saskatchewan.

          This is mine. I used to really be into Peugeots, grew up with mine, my dad was the Original owner, so it has a lot sentimental value to me.

          Going to strip my car's body this summer and get the exterior completely restored. (Have a shop pull the rear quarter, center, and trunk floor, body dents, surface rust, and PAINT) then I will do the rest...



          In all her glory:

              Nice! You don't hear that very often nowadays lol. I've always thought of Peugeot ownership being an "acquired taste."

              By the way, some pictures from today, in its new home!

                  • Strut brace
                  • Install new E30 M3 CABS
                  • Rear strut brace
                  • DIY European Trim
                  • Install my spoiler
                  • New muffler tip (ya, lame)
                  • Sealed Beams -> Ellipsoids
                  • Misc. Paint work

                  And Finally...do 5-lug properly, so that I can finally run the style 161's that I've had for centuries.

                            Just drove the E30 all the way from Los Angeles to San Francisco (stopping in SLO last night), all on the Pacific Coast Hwy (highway 1). Ran WONDERFULLY the whole trip, just had to add a quart of oil coming out of San Clemente. Car was filled to the CEILING, with my surfboard and bike on top.. Took every turn like a champ. I took about ~800 photos, need to edit/delete as soon as I get time, expect an OT thread!

                            Back in the bay for a little bit!!

                            really enjoyed 350 miles of beautiful Californian Coastline in my E30... which is now dirty as hell.
                            Gonna have to powerwash that thang this weekend. :D
