    Maggiolone - nice white E30 but that VW Jetta looks pristine. My first new car was a 1981 VW Jetta diesel with a whopping 50 hp and blue tweed fabric interior. The dealer put a set of pricey BBS basketweave wheels on the car that I had to negotiate to get removed since those high mpg cars were is such high demand that the dealers were jacking up the prices with add-on options. It did look pretty BMW 320i-like but it was still a VW.

      That's what I have- beautiful blue tweed.

      I've wanted BBS for the Jetta for a long time. Or Ronal Turbos. These cars are so fun and easy to modify, and look good with most period-correct 4x100 wheels.

        Since I now gently drive iX year round, I'd like to get my car's original red paint restored/polished/wax sealed before the weather turns really bad.
        Is there anyone here who does this kind of work or can can recommend a person or shop that would be careful not to overdo the buffing process since the paint is 26 years old.

                No car parts for me, well, a $1 clamp to stop my coolant from leaking out of breather hose.

                    I'm in Berwyn also. Let me know if you need anything.

                    The E30 population in Berwyn is growing!

                        You check the local E30 FB pages?
                        I could swear I've seen a few part outs lately. A lot of those guys don't make it to this forum.

                                That was fast!!

                                Wish I could find some decent 15" 4x100s that fast.
