    started another E30 Project -90 black mettalic vert plastic bumpers restoration pics

    this was the '90 diving board, automatic vert that I got from a local board member.
    Needless to say, it needed work - exterior, interior, top, wheels, etc..

    A lot of dings, scratches and other evidence of 21 year old topless naughtiness...

    We did plastic bumper conversion, Euro bumper trim, Hella Smoked HID lights, Euro grills, the car will have ACS Side skirts and rear apron, it will be lowered on some wide wheels.
    Car will be offered for sale and will be available with 5 speed conversion

    So the work started













    parts being worked on





    test fit of plastic bumpers and rear valence that needed a lot of work












    sideskirts



    prep and primer the parts









    the car in primer







    parts painted







    and finally, the car is painted as weel ! Came out really nice !









    now the fun part of wetsanding and buffing it and then putting her together :D

          Nice, fun way to generate some cash. What kind of wheels are you going to put on it?

              Just wondering Vlad, with all that work and rare parts & accessories, are you making any decent profits on these cars? Great to see them staying on the road.

                    That's gangster.

                    Even Ray Charles can see he's got money.
