Coco The Mtech II revival

[hakstern]

This is my first e30 purchase. I'm not new to the BMW scene though. I've owned a e36 325i, e92m3, e36m3, e90 335i all sold. What I currently DD is a FBO f30 335i.
I've decided to name this Mtech Coco. I've always had a soft spot for e30's because my first car ever was a 1987 325i given to me by my parents back in 2005. I searched long and hard and I believe/hope I found the right candidate.
The car was originally from FL, then to MA, back to FL. I flew out to FL to make the purchase and had the car shipped out to socal where she'll reside.
She's 1992 95,xxx Miles
OEM Mtech II kit
OEM Mtech interior from a 91' with full leather
Automatic

Previous owner kept up the maintenance with the car. He did the timing belt and cooling system in the car.
Coco does have some work to do, that's for sure!
The day/night I picked Coco up



Pictures taken right before shipping the car





The previous owner (Ben) hooked me up with the original lotus white leather+full manual swap conversion. I stuffed the car before shipping her out!



I'll post more pictures later this week.

Plans:
-Manual conversion
-Full repaint (Car has minor rust)
-Full suspension refresh
-Complete auto to manual conversion top
-OEM+ mods of course

Goals:
-Find a damm reasonably priced hardtop
-Find the "BMW MTechnic" badge

Nice! Just wondering - why the lotus white interior? Your m-tech interior looks great - a little leather dye on the front bolsters and it'll be mint by the looks of it.

Ben offered it up to me. Originally the car was packaged with the lotus white leather. So I just took it anyways.

Looking good. What you gonna do with the spare interior?

If you want to sell any of the lotus white stuff, please let me know. Need to get my interior looking better and I don't have any interest in recovering it at this time.

Very nice find, post your details in the M-Tech cabrio registry thread!
