It's a rescue!

aha, they look pretty close to Ronal LS. Solid choice either way. What tire size on the borbets?

225/45-16 R-S2s... old tires

Borbet type B's, the holy grail of 4 lug weaves ;D
Those certainly add a wow factor!

ya now to get a set... might be as hard as the Last Crusade

Can't believe I'm just now reading through this thread. You sir are a inspiration. Change your name to e30 god.

I'll only do that if you are aging in reverse. but thx for the compliment.

car looks awesome man!!!

thx

They Borbets do look great! That would be a good choice for sure.

So how much has she driven the car? Or is it your car now?

This a topic...
builds car for her.
about the time it's done, she says "It's too nice to drive"

I ask her to drive it about once a week and she says no.

So, sold my other cars to buy her a new jetta and i get stuck with the 4dr.

fyi I hate 4 doors

Oh man.. You hadn't mentioned anything so I figured something was up... Words out now lol

I guess you'll be swapping out that Gucci interior then :-p

no, im sure after a few years it will be our weekend car only and then she'll drive it. I want an IDX and if they get made, then the e30 will be retired to garage life or wife only car.

Thx guys!

Eyeing new shoes. the euroweaves dont really do it for me. while the ride is smooth and amazing they lack the wow factor when i open my garage door... maybe missing my M3 but I need something more shinny.

Would be willing to take them off your hands if you were to sell ;)

there is a lot of people asking the same. i am into them for 1500 atm and not sure how much i am willing to lose on the sale of them.

this 4 dr e30 is sexy. in a mary ann and ginger sort of way.

...like it has room for both.

im doing a full restore just like you did.. but with a little chevy v8 twist to it. anyway... love the build!

Dang, except for the paint color and other little details, my car is going to be a lot like yours. Looks great!

[Cabriolet]

Well I'm going back to school in the fall and the wife and zeroed my budget. Im still redicusly lucky she let me take the project this far. Since no 16x7.5 borbet b's have come up for sale, I will be staying the way the car is -on the Euroweaves. I have pretty much neglected the car for the past month. Comiccon, building another engine and other events have taken all my time.
But, enough of the back story. I had Detail Addict do a full outer detail. They did an amazing job! unfortunately pic do not show how well it came out but finally the paint looks good.
