I love me an 87is. This one is beautiful. You're doing it right.

I have mixed feelings but it's your car, your money, so have fun!

Why? it was less than a new shitty Honda. People buy new expensive cars and do dumb mods to them all the time.

He has the money and STATED his reason why he paid so much for a perfect e30. I say bravo for doing it right.

You should have went with CCW classics(wheels) to REALLY piss of the members here. "CCW are so over played" says the broke ass snot nose kid.

I am glad you are posting the new path of this gorgeous e30 here. Good luck!

Almost forgot, welcome to r3vlimited!

I bought this car from a forum member because it was so original and untouched. I couldn't believe how incredible the car was...near perfection! Here is the original ad http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=266754

I know some of you will cry blasphemy for me doing this but for me I wanted something that was clean and original to mod, not someone else's problems. I just got the car Friday and spent yesterday doing the first mods to it. Anyways, on to the pictures..

Here is how she sat originally


Interior needs nothing, might do a Z3/Z4 shifter?


Here she is being unloaded at my friends shop (Redline Auto Salon) Funny story, the other E30 in the back belongs to another R3V member and it is his 1st E30 also, they both came from Cali to Holly Springs NC. How Ironic...


We removed the painted pinstripe to start, I want a really clean look. Here she is on the lift getting ready for BC Coilovers.


Finally back on the ground... after the wheels get here I will get the suspension set just right, no reason to tinker now.


These are the wheels that are on the way (16x8 and 16x9 13mm offset)


More to come later, thanks for reading!
