liking the 4 doors - your steering wheel is in the wrong place though....

[maxfield]

Awesome absolutly awesome!

[dom-1984-320i]

looks very cool mate, kit looks really good!

[Rosc0PColtrane]

Looks effing great!!

Did Zender do a pre facelift version?

[e30kev]

really nice looking car mate, and nice wheels too

[Rosc0PColtrane]

What are the seats from? Or are they a retrim?

[swindy]

After you answer that can you tell us were and how the rocker cover came to be? Home made?

[silverdragon]

Thanks guys! Appreciate it. This site is e30 heaven. You have so many nice e30s over there. Lots of tuning stuff and accessories readily available too.

We love driving at the "wrong" side of the road over here

Yes Zender had a pre face lift model. I came across a pic before.

The seats are Recaro NJoys. Yup I had a retrim done. The old cloth trim really had to go.

[Rosc0PColtrane]

Loving the zenderness!!

Nice retrim, too!!!

Is tehre many e30's in the 'pines

[silverdragon]

The valve/rocker cover is an original Schnitzer goodie

[silverdragon]

As a matter of fact we have our own club. Im a member of both clubs. There are approximately 40 e30 members in both clubs. Maybe another 100 hermits roaming the streets.

hi TJ! or should i say "silverdragon"...

welcome to the zone!

TJ is also a member of the BMW E30 Car Club of the Philippines, the club i promoted to you guys a few months back by posting a thread here in the photo gallery section entitled "Manila Represent"

we're all here in Manila thats reason why the steering wheel is on the "wrong" side of the car...

[Eddie25]

That looks great! Love that Kit.

[Nelly]

You know - the more i look at these pics of cars from the 80's the more i detest newer cars of today.

Loving that one TJ - keep up the good work.

That kit is very nice, not ott, but not too understated.

I used to own 3 E30 bodied cars between 1989-1995. I still have all possible cataloques (Hartge, Schnizer, BBS etc.) from that era in my archives. After 12 years "dry" season I recently bought two Mtech II bodied cars (3i8IS & 325I). I sold 325, because 318Is is in much better shape (keep tough that Mtech II body kit). I also bought from California a complete BBS body kit for two door car, it's similar like those pictures have. So i have three body kits available. Plan to keep them all, because it's getting more difficult to find these items.
Don't know yet what i will build of this 318IS, plans are more or less open. Since i am heavily involved in turbos (have own a Porsche 944 Turbo about ten years) i have a lot of left over Porsche parts which i might adopted to BMW (complete turbo systems, bigger brakes etc.etc)
Here's couple of pictures taken from the late '80's & early '90's cataloques:

[silverdragon]

Nice! We must have been brothers in the past life. Im also restoring a Porsche 911 Club sport replica. It will be my trackday toy just like my bmw. Still havent fiddled around with turbos though. You seem to really know your stuff. RESPECT!

Could you please please email me a clearer pic of the red e30 bbs page? tjbenitez888@yahoo.com or do you have an extra bbs catalog? Thanks OSE30!

[Ziggy]

Pleeeeeease can you get some pics / scans from that Hartge catalogue (specifically about the wheels they sold)?? & got any Zender ones? & welcome to the zone, both of you!

[griff87]

One of the nicest e30s I've ever seen, I think that car is in M3 territory its so mint!

well done fella
