New addition to the family, and the Zone....

[aceraf]

I was hoping to do that pic again now that it's got the borbets on....should look good!

[Rosc0PColtrane]

It will do. Just be mindful of the compsition and you'll have a piccy worth keeping!

[Jay07]

Wow what a project! Thats looking gorgeous mate. Well worth the time £ and effort...

[aceraf]

My bro will be keeping the car for some time (he wants to keep the car for good) so anything spent is money well spent.

Does look stunning. Will look better by next summer with the hood-down and the kit and horse-shoe colour coded.

Here's the best i can do with the pics i have so far.

I normally don't impose my opinion on peoples car builds but I'd advise against adjusting the horse shoe. I think it looks great in the leather colour. It's part of the interior, not the exterior. Colour coding it looks very council.

no, what i meant was the horseshoe is currently white (the bit that is painted) as it came of JAMZ white cab. When i say colour coded i mean spraying the white bit blue. The leather isn't going to be getting removed.

Sorry mate, I understand now!!

Is it not a case of switching the cover from the existing horse shoe for the leather one??

[aceraf]

Plan was to keep the one in the pic above for summer, and then in winter when the hood isn't dropped as much, and there is more chance of wet weather to put the current black one back one, this way the cream leather won't get ruined over winter.

looks awesome don't suppose he has the old neon interior for sale ?

His fronts are in my touring at the moment.

Not selling any parts off it though.

We're keeping everything we've changed, so it can be restored back to original if need be.

All interior/exterior/suspension bits are in storage.

On a different topic, the cabby should be getting some smoked front lights by next week, and should be getting the hardtop on there for some pics aswell.

Few Arty pics...

Well, the Borbet's are gone in a swap deal with 666JAG (top lad hope your luck changes with the car ) and replaced by 16" RH Toplines with diamond cut centres.

I'm not sure what i make of them yet.

They do seem too small with the 205/45/R16 tyres...perhaps some lower profile tyres would look better.

That said the with the Borbets only 2 people could sit in the car, so atleast the car can be a proper 4 seater now.

Pics uploading now.

A few more pics...



















Wheels seem to look better at night.

Wheels seem to look better at night.

have to agree with you there,

not a fan of the wheels, the orbets looked atlot better if im honest.

[aceraf]

I always wanted the A's for my car, but having seen them on the touring compared to my T's, i preferred the T's.
And i don't like running spacers, so they wouldn't have been going on mine.

It just wasn't practical for my bro to keep the borbets as he could only use it as a 2 seater.

He's only actually had the borbets on the car (when it was in use) for about 2-3 months. He's had bbs's on for quite a while now, so they're definitely an improvement on those (the bbs's need a refurb).

Who knows, they may look better once the tech 2 kit is fitted.

any updates on this aceraf?

would love to see the car with the mtech kit on!

Unfortunately not. Both Tech 2 kits (mine and my brothers) are still waiting to be sprayed. I've been busy with my new job, and my brother doesn't really do anything on his car, so until I sort it for him it'll stay as it is.

He's still got his hardtop that he wants colour coding aswell, so with teh tech 2 kit and the hardtop it should be looking awesome, but until i do anything myself it doesn't look like any progress will be made.

This shot works the best with the photoshopping. I really like it!! Car is coming along nicely too!

how the hell u do this to pic looks good

[aceraf]

I used photobucket to add that effect.

[harj]

i think that the mtech kit will finish off the car nicely..definitely will make it look alot better..look forward to seeing those updated pics!

[aceraf]

Unfortunately the interior, Hardtop and tech 2 kit from this car are now for sale.

If anyone's interested please pm me and i'll let you know of the prices.

The RH wheels may also be up for sale if i decide i don't like the look of them on my 4door.

that doesn't sound good

[aceraf]

Interior is gone, collected by kingcruizer this morning.

Hardtop and tech 2 kit left

Morning Ace. Just picked up on this thread. I went to have a look at one of these last year same colour and spec. The purpose was to get it back to concours. I looked at the cost and It just didn't warrant it. It was in need of a major respray - every panel was marked. The interior was in a poor state too inc the engine. I decided to leave it.

Yours looks great though. Loving the colour too.
Best of luck with car.

Unfortunately it's no longer. Someone pulled out on my brother and wrote it off (they accepted fault straight away).

I'll be listing all the spares and other parts that we've gathered once the for sale section is open again as we have quite a few bits and bobs gathered up as we kept the original for every part we changed on it in case we wanted to return it back to stock one day.

Seems like all the e30's are going as my touring will be for sale soon aswell and just the 4door will be left.

[ImysE30]

He doesn't want the touring otherwise i would've preferred that to having to sell it.

[ImysE30]

He did say that he would like a touring, your car would be near enough perfect for him. When did he smash it?

[aceraf]

About 2 weeks ago.

He's looking to get something newer in about a years time now.

[ImysE30]

What's he driving now?

[HowieE30]

Shit, I feel sorry for both of you
Such a nice car, I'm almost crying
