hahahahaha werd sonnnnn

Idk ive always wanted a henna rot early car.... Well see. I gotta talk it over with pops and well see what happens. I know a guy in cali who sees a bunch of em. No rust either ;)

Well see. If i get an early car im keepin the wing foo. haha

Hahaha you guys are great! The Vid comments are sweet.

Im not sure what im going to do at this point.

I was tlaking to a friend of mine who suggested just sanding the parts that got fucked up and throwing some primer on em. Then picking up a clean stock shell to swap all my parts into. Ive always wanted a clean henna early car with euro bumpers. It would give me a chance to go through everything part by part too so that would be cool.

The Maaco paint job really sucks (not up to par with what i want) and picking up a car where the paint is clean enough to make look good will be fine with me.


Body work just sucks.....

The project would be fun too. :)

Well I call dibs on your IS lip, Your tech 1 spoiler and fogs thank you and have a nice day lol JK. Get that satin black going and call it a day, for now just put some M stripes where the burnt mark is and put the colors backwards to piss people off. lol well R3v for that matter.

Satin black can be pulled off, however if done incorrectly I feel it really gives the car a Unfinished look.

Makes the car look blah..instead of WOW.!

However if done correctly it can look great!

What are you thinking for wheels? Body mods? Skirts? etc?

Think about the whole package with the satin black paint.
Does it look good in your head?

Imagine how it will look when finished as a whole package.

Either way it is your car, do what you like! You have to like it, others don't.

Good luck on the MegaSquirt and other repairs!!

Oh yea, where is the Freakin video!!! J/K

Glad to hear the car was not a total loss and you didn't get hurt!

Sorry to see that mess. I hope everything works out. I say go for the satin look. It looks aggressive as hell when done right. Keep the spirits up. I have been through 2 m42,2 in 2 weeks. Now i will be putting the m50 in it in a couple of weeks.

[E30SPDFRK]

Holy shit! Glad to hear your ok. How bad did the fire mess up the body??

[So Live]

Haha thanks Ben! Im all set with a ride though. I get to drive my dads KILLER suburban!!!!! I cant have a car on campus anyway so its all good. Congrats on the purchase :) Lemme know if you need help with that.

Im really playing with the satin black deal. Now is the time. Again...

[FredK]

holy crap!

Glad to hear you made it out of the car ok!

[BenM]

Holy shit man! that sucks man, but at least your ok.

IIRC, a fire suppression system (manual pull cable) is around $350, but in your case, just a handheld one mounted somewhere close by would do the trick.

Anyways, good luck getting her back together, and if you need to drive an E30 maybe I can help you out. ;) And I just bought an S50.

[Kwaaahhh]

Damnn man that suck! Been keeping tabs on this thread and all I can say is this build is nutts! :up: Like other said, least you save the rest of the girl. Can't wait to see you revive that beezy! :D

[So Live]

lol CHILL OUT with the vids!!!! The damn car doesnt even run right now!!!! hahaha you guys are too much!

So... anyway how do you guys feel about satin black? Im painting the whole car eventually. And after seeing that satin black z3 m-coupe ive been playing with the idea.

[Intro]

i demand vids :hitler:

[So Live]

Werd son no use being pissed off, its probably my fault one way or another :)

Well i had some fun in the rain on monday. you honestly cant get into boost in 3rd gear with out spinning the puny 205's Its a good feeling knowing my car has the balls to go sideways at 60mph (in the rain)

haha

[RedHoodRidah]

Thats the way to think. This could've been you if you weren't close to home. :firehop: so get that thing going and show some vids.

[So Live]

Hahaha that post made me smile dude! Thanks!

Ill get vids eventually

I gotta get the wires fixed from the fire and some other misc parts so i feel comfortable driving it again (like an extinguisher) and i might get MS done this week. I gotta go buy some shitty paint for the parts with no paint. I think i still have some primer left over.

Itll be driving in no time and THEN ILL GET SOME VIDS OK!!!!!!
