My E30 325i. Slowly getting on it's wheels

[Larsinnj]

Decided to paint my ugly, rusty chrome-rings around my headlaps.
As you can see, I'm starting to be friends with my slr-camera as well. So it might be a bit more, and better photos in the future! :up:

As they were before.


Primered..


..painted..


..and mounted back together. I think it turned out well! :D

[Larsinnj]

Got bored yesterday! :P And I can't wait for summer..



At least I got something going on.
These have been sendt to me. They are a set of adapters to get brakecalipers from E36 M3 to fit. Also a sleeve and a nut to make hubs from a E36 to fit nicely. On top of that, brakedisks from a E46 330d will fit nicely. :D

A the rear I will use standard 325i brakes and just drill holes so I get 5x120. ;)





Any clearence is good clearence! :D

[Larsinnj]

Is it really that boring? :roll::(

[Larsinnj]

Some pics of the car in it's most known position 'till now! :p

[Larsinnj]

Congrats on the M3, looks stunning!
(looks like you no longer have an e30 budget:-D)

Well..... no! :)

The rear wheels on the M will be taken apart and rebuilt with new, wider lips.
you see in the last pic that there is quite a gap between the wheel and arch.
I'm thinking 1 or 1,5" wider. I fear that 1,5" will be a bit too much though. Pulling the fenders is out of question. :p

When I'm done I will have 2 lips to much, but I'll just use them on my OZ Mito's that eventually wil be fitted on the black E30. 8-)

5 points. ;) It's an M3 but not techno.

That's my garage queen. :) Macaublau M3 Cecotto. :grin:
Need some fix though. Spoiler, front and rear bumper need to be painted. I'm waiting with the painting until I have money to buy a Sport Evo rear spoiler with CF flap. 8-)

Looking nice! ... Is that a technoviolet m3 I see?

[Larsinnj]

I just bought a new camera and went out today and shot some pics. I'm not very good at it yet, so tips and trick are welcome!

[Larsinnj]

Just have to add that the black bonnet have been fitted again. :D
Here's a teaser of the E30 with the new car I have bought recently

[Larsinnj]

Before/after. Looking forward to see them on the car! :D

Most of the people I talk to say they like it, and i get thumbs up when I drive past people ALOT! ;-)

I feel people think it cool to finally see something different..

I know it's special and it's definitely a like/hate object.
I sort of like it, and it turns peoples heads. It's a 10 min job to swap back to the black one.

But for now.. It stays..

Thank god you still have the black hood.

It turns heads because people are probably like WTF LOL.

I have to agree. Although I like rusty, your car is just too clean to pull that off properly. It is nice and low though. Looks good.
