    e30 vert new project started, bunch of pics, May 2008

    this is the last of the e30 verts that I had in my yard. I bought it last year and just got the chance to bring it inside the shop.
    It will get plastic bumperes swap + tricked front airdam, side skrts and rear valance, it will be dropped on some dope rims, it will get new top as well. The interior is already fixed, seats were partially recovered, few other small parts and updates will follow (MOMO, etc..)

    just started to take it appart





    3rd brake light eliminated and the holes are welded









    all the dents, scratches and other imprefections are getting fixed









    plastic bumpers and front valance are ready for the swap





    more pics to follow tomorrow...

    not much of the work, but I do some of it... while this was done today had to replace the POS starter on the VW vert, what a pain in the...

    that's me knocking on the starter, trying to bring it back to life



    replaced it today...VW designers were dinking the day that thought of the location for it ..

    HOLY HELL that thing is clean!!! Its almost to clean to swap stuff in and out of but I am sure you will work your magic with it.

    I bet you anything that place in CT that Chris (CMT) posted yesterday (the BMW restoration place) can help your source Euro bumpers for that car.

    Bring that thing to the next Fort Lee meet. Please.

    your car needs good paint job

    I have some nice body pieces that will go onto the vert (front lip with splitter, sideskirts and rear vallance)
