Almost finally finished...

Took quite a bit longer than expected...

Had an unfortunate incident with the concrete having a meeting with the freshly painted tank...ugh that sucked.

I can't decide what to do with the front fender. Should I paint it solid orange or orange/white/red?

I also need to do something with the exhaust, maybe a bronzy-chrome? I might dye the seat a dark blue, I dunno.

Yes sir, both 89 325i's though one's a touring....

That is F'n Sweet! I always wanted a wagon 3 series in the E30 frame!!!! You are a lucky man. Did you get that imported from Canada?

Oh and the Alpina's are sweet too. Good job with that Bad Boy!

I actually live in Canada, we've had the touring just over 3 years. Ours was the 2nd one in canada at the time but now there's at least a dozen in Vancouver now.

Ah that makes more sense. There is another one on Ebay right now in Alberta. So Jealous.

Looks good!!!
I was thinking of a similar thing and got a set of stickers but I am afraid they will not work on the tank as it is too rounded.

The E30 is still a very nice car.
A friend of mine races an E30 M3 with one of the old DTM engines.....fast and fun!!
