[hipflyguy]

Pictures of my old Cab. I'm sure it is getting ready for the summer somewhere.

This is f'king stunning..... And you sold her...?! You a crazy fool sucker...

[josh-hocking]

looking a hard desision this time!!

[ShakeyC]

GDBN has to be the best picture for me the car just looks utter class, absolute and has a zing about it certainly gets my vote

[gra325i]

that is an EXCELLENT picture, but, and its only my opinion, its not the best car although it is very tidy


Grantfk10, FTW

[B7]

'89 chrome bumper, Alpine 11 with dark blue hood and indigo leather.

And a few more of mine. Weathers not been that great for any shots of it with the M Tec Supension on it. I'll try this weekend.

[SK360]

When is the deadline for this?

[HartgeH27]

30th March !!!!

[SK360]

30th March !!!!

Cheers mate, going to have to dig out a few old pic's as the weather hasn't been decent enough for any new ones

[mrLEE30]

that C2.7 is a stunner, even gets my vote.... but if its not owned by a zoner surely it cannot be chosen and thus second place and the defacto winner....

[Ziggy]

Twas gloriously sunny on Fri, so I thought I'd go for a bit of a drive (ok, a couple of hundred miles), roof down of course. Spring had arrived
Stopped for a quick couple of pics...









& then on Saturday, Spring departed again.



& it might never have been seen by those cunning chaps at Sytners or Birds, but it still goes alright, as well it should.

[SK360]

Here's A few pic's of mine...







Some old pic's with the M3 style mirrors which have been replaced with the original mirrors, the shocking angel eyes have also been replaced with normal headlamps along with CCFL rings.







The Orange indicators are no more





















The amount of hard work and money ive thrown at her would be nice to grace the E30 zone banner with car of the month

S.K.

[mineralblue]

Well done Ian, you're definately "getting there" - a great transformation.
You have made a great job of tidying her up, looking forward to seeing her in the flesh - are you going to the Scottish meet/Zone Roam on 19th April?

[Gortour]

Once he's done the body shell probably.

Where are you Mr Clarksun? Who's the winner?
And what's next month's topic?

[DaveD]

maybe it was an April fool joke to get one or two people (who shall be nameless) excited

[mrLEE30]

how about next month best before and after photoshop - turd to a hero!!

[Mr_Clarksun]

Choices, choices. Sometimes pleasurable, sometimes not. It almost always seems —a these days —a that they mean leaving something behind that you'll always wistfully recall.

No matter the relative merits of the winner and those that you discard like cigarette packets tossed into the night, there's ALWAYS a part of you that wonders if you've made the right choice.

A nagging voice that wakes you in the middle of the night. The lump that you just can't ignore. An itching red sore that you, apparently, have to scratch.

But enough of my 4th wife.

The April winner is grantfk10. New category to follow.

Be good,
Clarksun

PS —a have you all read my post about Zimmerbimmer1 on the homepage? A very noble cause. Such an ignoble rally…

[d6dph]

Well done Grant, Stunning car.

[Alyman]

Congrats Grant, car looks great up there

[tylerma]

nice one Grant

[grantfk10]

Crikey!
After seeing the standard of entries we've had this month, I am well chuffed to have my cabby at the top of the page. There really are some stunning convertibles on the Zone and they ALL deserve praise, and are a credit to their owners.
As I have already mentioned in a previous post, mine is a daily driver (for now, until I can find a cheap runabout to get to work), but she is still well looked after and garaged every night. Future plans for her "might" include an engine transplant and an overhaul of the suspension. Apart from that, I'm happy the way she is.

I'm looking forward to our Scottish meet on the 19th at Glencoe, to show off - "April 2008 Car of The Month"


Once again, thanks for all the comments.

[IbrhTask]

[Gortour]

Congratulations Grant. Right engine, right colour...
