E30 323i rebirth

[Cabriolet]

1983 chassis, no room for battery in the rear.

Because it's a 323i early chassis cars didn't always have batteries in the rear.

Never owned anything that old. good to know, thx. great job on the car!

looks like you lay paint really well to. i see no orange peel. :up:

One minor detail, the passenger side front corner of the hood is out of alignment. Great to see the old chin spoiler I sold you about a decade on there but where is the tech I rear?

I don't paint nor do any body work, with the exception of wet sanding and polishing. I had to have the car sent out for paint and body and there are a few things Im not happy with but Court knows about them fully.

Everything else on the car from the S50 swap(thanks to Luke, Justin, James and Nigel for helping out) to the complete re-assembly (thanks to Reid and Jeff for helping out) was me and my shop Accuracy Automotive.

Yeah, I pulled some LATE nights trying to make sure the car looked as good as possible for the picnic. But there are still many little things to do, as is always the case. :)

This was all to make sure Court's car to go to the E30picnic in his absence, and it did it's job well and definitely turned some heads.

+1 Thanks to all you guys for making this happen for me while, I am away and not having the time to do it correctly as it was my daily driver back then.

Can't say enough about John at Accuracy Automotive willing to take this one for me.

Good teamwork, r3v!

This turned out really nice.

Time to post a few more pics. Picked up the car yesterday and couldn't believe my eyes. I was shaking with anticipation and couldn't even take a test drive on my own.
Felt like I was on an episode of Overhaulin haha John had to take me on a drive. haha Car came out beautifully!

^fucking amazing. I can't believe all the early guys don't get the same euro bumper/valence/lip combo. Wish I had an early vert sometimes

[mr.vang]

freakin nice bud, make me want another e30 with euro bumper

[kronus]

I think this thread just made me reconsider the Mtech I plans.

[MR 325]

Such a beautiful car.

[misterCAFE]

what is the name/brand/style of that lip? this makes me wanna go euro over plastic conversion

Standard 86-87 lip for non US cars.

You should definitely go euro bumpers over plastics. Plastics just don't look right with the small early model tail lights.

Thanks guys for all the love for the car! Once again all praise goes to JParkr. Freaking amazing work. Currently road tripping it to Louisiana will post a few pics of the trip
