First car show with Natalie
Car and Coffee in Irvine Ca.
I met Paul Cain the owner of a beautiful 2002 that was just published in Performance BMW.

Parked next to an e30 m3 of course

Some hard work has gone into that and the results show. I've got to ask though, why remove the A/C especially in Cali? Thanks mate You should direct that question to the previous owner. I purchased the car like that and I used it to lower the purchase price but in reality I didn’t mind to much. I r...

The previous owner has tried to do all red tails mods. I like the look of this but the paint had faded so it had to go. http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp97/carstuff/DSC05170.jpg I sanded both turn signals until the amber showed up and then polished up. http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp97/car...
