A blast from...1998

[Beej '86 325es]

I stumbled on an old photo of my E30 from 1998 tonight.
I've been doing this way too long.

[Kershaw]

cool.

what does it look like now?

[ak-]

I dig.

[ttrousdell]

just curious. What were these cars worth back in 98'? Were there a lot of people swapping or modding these cars?

[Stanley Rockafella]

I graduated HS in 98.

I would have killed for the e30 I now own.

[MR 325]

I believe that's when you started the S50 swap project? :D

I had the same TSW wheels on my Jetta in 1998.

I was 8 years old. Nice car, what happened to it?

Janderson's old car?

I love the wheels on the alpine, are they TSW's?

[Nairb]

What iPhone app did you use to make it look all retro? ;)

Dunno if it's a manufactured memory or not, but I think I remember that shot, and probably a few others like it. The e30 scene was completely different back then, and I think your car was kinda radical for the day. Cool stuff. I have a couple HD's lying around, but I have no idea where all my old pictures are.

Gustavo Melo and Ove Kvam say what's up.

Haha, sup, Beej. Those are some names I haven't heard in about a decade.

It's probably around the first time I read about an S50 swap!

I bought my '86 325es with 167k on the clock for $3800. I'd say they've held their value! :)

I don't have a lot of great photos of the E30 since it's been rebuilt. It's actually a different body than I originally had, but with my parts and engine transferred over...and no rust. I might work on that this weekend. But here's a quick video. I'm taking it to the dyno in an hour.
