[bmwscorpion]

I think in person or in picture this car is stunning, attention to detail is spot on.. not my thing two tone but this pulls it off really well.
for some reson I did not pick up on the fact you have the full cage fitted. . nice one..

Looking great Cam, Not 100% sold on the red dash but apart from that it looks great.

Nice to see it done after seeing the photoshop at Ace a few months ago.

Thanks Guys, the photos above seem to have suffered a bit of distortion. Once she's cleaned up & polished she will be looking hot again. The car was originally to be used on track & for drifting - hence the bold colour scheme - but I'm not so sure I want to now - she just looks too good

The engine is a 325, but will be coming out shortly to be rebuilt to low compression before doing the forced induction.

There are other plans afoot as well, which will require some further modification to the front end, but will keep this quite for now, and will post up some more pics before the santapod show, where hopefully it will be doing it's 1st run.

Just wanted to say thanks to Dips for taking my original photoshops and turning it into reality. I'm sure without his vision & expertise, the car would have turned out differnt

Hey Ajay, depending on if the car is still in one piece, I may bring it to the Ace Cafe at the end of the month

1986 to be exact.

Fair enough mate, each to their own. I thought it looked like a shed before the paint job, and the rust patches did nothing to help either imo.

[josh-hocking]

wow thats very red!!

same here. im not feeling two tones either. all red would have been nicer .its a good looking colour but a bit mis matched with white.to much of a contrast imo. and the red dash?

Hi mate,

Not surprised people stop and stare, iwould too.

That looks wicked different from most, your interior is crazy,
Well done .

Cheers Neil.

[snoops]

where did you get the angel eyes from? have you got a link?

[camshaft]

hi Snoops, I found the link on one of the threads here - do a search for angle eyes or depo I think. They came from German ebay. I had to get them adjusted correctly by the MOT people last Saturday.

[Nemo]

What a transformation!! I luv the little touches like the smoothed filler car and red lights all round. I like the red and white but together.....erm.....the juries still out on that one.

[dazleeds]

i like it

not keen on the debadged boot as the badge cutout on the tech spoiler stands out a bit now
but if your happy with the car thats what counts fella

nice one

Hi mate, I still wasn't sure right up to the point the car got sprayed. But I gritted my teeth and told Dips to spray it

I only really saw the car a couple of days before Gaydon, and I'm glad I'd gone for it.

[Jhonno]

not a fan of the interior

but loving the 2 tone

It's not my cup of tea mate but it's nice to see someone with an E30 doing something different. Good on you.
