Hi everyone
I've had my E30 for about 6 months, its my first ever attempt at restoring a classic car. I like to think its going well but I'll let you guys decide.

Looks sweet, in Henna Red (same as my first E30, which was a 1984 320i more-door). What model is yours?

Looks more like Zinober than Henna to me. Very nice E30 either way.

Out of interest why the headlight swap from bullets to smileys?

Yeah it is zinober red, one of the bullets lights housing was damaged, and I was able to get a set of smileys of a friend, plus I just prefer the look of the smileys

Ah, it looked like orangey Henna red on another computer screen. :o:

Have you lowered the suspension also?
