Fantastic job on this car.

I would love to see a finished product, then secretly make you an offer you can't refuse on the car.

One thing I will say, these NLA M3 E30 parts are getting ridiculous.

Found an ad on craigs where someone wanted $2500 for the rear bumper.

Yea these parts are more than the damn cars!

Nice

Boring stuff, block sanding mostly. Hopefully after the first of the year I'll have some developments worth posting!

What are the differences between the standard kidneys and those sport evos? PN?

Many props

Micro-update, I got all new under-trim for the rear bumper. This was supposedly created to help air flow underneath at the rear of the car. Spendy for pieces of plastic but worth it!

Amazing dedication - I couldn't finish one of these projects in a lifetime...

Thank you! It's been a two-year labor of love!

Where'd you get that awesome key fob?

Check out my man Matt-B at http://www.2mshiftboots.com/ for his handmade collection of key chains, shift/ebrake boots, etc. I have three of them and counting in different BMW fabrics :devil:

Not much of an update but I finally got my Sport Evo kidneys and installed them. Incredibly minor difference that no one will ever notice but me, but I like that kind of stuff.

What you can't see in this picture is the passenger door is removed and on sawhorses, working on smoothing and sanding. Lots of that tedious prep work to come!

That looks great! Does that fit the regular grills on the side?

the kidney grill more narrow and rounded. euro grill for non AC i guess. :)
