    sooner or later it was going to get done - my project E30 Vert photoshoot, NYC

    Finally this vert is done !!! All the little bugs and imprefections have been taken care of and for the past 3 days I've been driving this car and loving it ! The weather here in NJ is spectacular and the car feels so right, brand new suspension is working flawlessly even over the cubblestones in historic Downtown Brooklyn and the feeling of driving the vert is just special. The car does attract a lot of attention and people of all ages just admire the looks of the 20 year old BMW. It was a long process of bringing the car from where it was to where it is today, but I think it was well worth it !

    Pics from the Restoration - http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum....php?t=1003779

    few basic checks before we go









    making sure the heated seats are ON



    we drive into the Historic Brooklyn, New York









    Brooklyn Bridge in the back ground



    Manhattan Bridge on top







    with the TOP up






    more pics to come !

    that's what she's been told, I have to find some pics from that movie to see the resemblance, I haven't seen it in ages

    Thats a pretty good location also.

    Hope to see more!
    the location was super nice, historic Downtown Brookyn, that place is going thru some major changes, a lot of new condows and appartments are being built, it's very trendy and it's going to be very nice, it's located right on the water between the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges. Back in the very old days it was used as warehouse land, then projects and factories were built there, now it's going thru remodeling and redevelopment...

    I told her to check to see if the MAF boot was properly connected
