i got it on the ground

Dude, it's gorgeous. Having seen your E30 up close, I had no doubt that it would be. Want to move to Vancouver, and work for me? I probably don't pay as well as Bubby though, and my cats would likely eat Biscus.

Only thing I might consider doing is painting it 2 tone. I hear Kirker makes a great paint for that. They call it "backwater hillbilly pickup truck white". Best applied AFTER you've already painted the car, so you're right on target.

Careful, no laughing around the FAQ.

I was planning on having my 323i done this year, and bring it down. Alas, I will be leaving for Helsinki on May 24th, and with the European trip planned, there are no lootcakes to complete the 323i. In other words, I'll have to pass on PA this year. :-(

Oh yeah- the Europe trip

where ya planning on going? I ditched work after my thesis was done in '05, and went to spain, france, amsterdam,germany and italy- and acquired many many car models- which was the primary motive for going!

Hijacked the thread here...sorry blunt

I'm arriving in Helsinki, where I'll meet Anita(she's in Denmark as of today and I won't see her until May). We're spending a few days there, before I head to Munich. From Munich, I'm renting a car, and will go to Dachau, Nurburgring, and then Stuttgart. After Germany, I'm heading down through Switzerland, into Italy, and then to the south of France, where I will connect with Anita again. Her student visa doesn't allow her access to some countries after it expires in May, which is why I'm doing Germany without her. We;re going to connect with Nick Vyse, and then over to Normandy, perhaps a quick trip tp the UK, and then end in Paris. Should be amazing, and if I have my way, it's the chance to rekindle a flame between Anita and I. Time will tell.

And yeah, sorry Blunt. Didn't mean to jack your thread. I'll bring you back a trinket from BMW in Munich.

Absolutely exquisite. One of my favorite colors coupled with my favorite wheels. What exhaust have you gone with? It looks non-stock.

inspirational, love it.

Simply Stunning Steve!

Drop Dead Gorgeous is another fitting way to describe the progress! I believe you will find the car lowers once all the interior, engine, etc. is back in and you drive it some...if not, I'm sure you'll go the route I did (install sport springs). :-)

I love Colorado...my favorite color....my first purchase should have been a Colorado '72tii or '73tii...I passed on both for various reasons...been kicking myself ever since. That color simply says "This is a vintage BMW 2002!" PERIOD!

Great job man!

Blunt, that looks great! I love it. I've got to ask: is it formerly Sahara? That's cool --- I can't defend Sahara in this case! Next time we're up in Coon Rapids visiting our friends, I must come see your 02.

i always thought the short bumper cars didn't have the lower, black moulding....did you add it ?

[BLUNT]

when i got my car it had some cheap stick on crap the po had put on. to be correct the lower moulding wasnt an option until i believe 72 but im not 100% on that. i added it after the fact.
