My 1984 e30 323i

[philtourer]

this is my '84 323i, as i picked it up (for a princley £50)

and over 2 years i managed to create this, i know some of you wont like it but if anyone of you are interested ill post up the build pics and details...

E30s are great cars, no doubt about it, I understand that people wont like this two tone paintwork, but out of curiosity what made you choose black and red?
Good transformation though

[Mr Dave]

I really dont like the black kidney grilles with the chrome window surrounds, both the same either black or chrome.

Headlights are dark as well, maybe silver normal ones would brighten up the lower half of it.

I like it though and it is some work to get it like that Im sure, post up more pics and I will be looking forward to seeing them...

[philtourer]

yeah, was very much a work in progress until the end when an un-insured asshole went into the back of it and i lost heart with it, ill post some more pix up tonight...

[Ash From Flux]

I like it. It's like the A-Teams weekend car.

[Disco You]

I prefer it to your tourer, it's distinctly less ruined.

The only thing I will echo is the non-matching chrome details, it really stands out.

Sorry to hear about the un-insured driver incident

[CpnSpankyPantz]

That's cool! Are they home brew smoked lights or have you used lamin-x type film?

Your tourer is beautiful...

[philtourer]

completly home brewed, in all honesty this was pretty much one of the best and worst e30 i ever had, because i got it so cheap i didnt mind going a little wild with it and it was the first proper strip out and re build i had done so i used it as a bit of a learner. i had never done bodywork of any kind (and yes it shows!) but i tried my best on a non existent budget, and with hardly any proper tools to create a half tidy motor. it was never meant to be a minter and was all about the fun of the build. certainly learned some lessons in home modifying rather than just buying off the shelf and had a right laugh doing it! will dig out the photos later...

[Mojooo]

love the shape of this car - they should only ever be smooth black though!

[philtourer]

[philtourer]

ah my first e30, a 318i, wish i had more pics of this one!
