This thread serves to show the rebuild/ transformation of a local pau 316 bmw .

Model: bmw e30
Yr: 1987
Engine: m10 4 cylinder carbureted
Body type: 2 door coupe
Mileage :59000miles

Intention: to restore her to her original glory with a hint of some modern stuff. She would restored to enter old school category at car shows but also be a strong contender at drag and wind. We are looking for the best of both worlds!

I would really really appreciate you guys input. Point me in the right direction

Here is what I have on order:

Brand new dcoe weber side drafts
Megan coilover system
Powerflex teflon suspension components

I am eagerly looking for some bbs mesh type rims. 4x100. New is fine or even bbs replicas

But I really need some help for her in the colour /looks department. Should I go solid colour or metalic? Red or blue?

Pics soon. Thanks in advance

Interlagos blue
Or laguna seca blue.
Or the original flat orange the 2002 came in

lol. seems legit

and you doubted me when I told you coilovers were available

all joke aside, I always loved the Gregg Redman scheme


as it would be applied to your car:

Painted? Nah. Will be in the shop for the next two mths. Full restoration work. We decided to paint first then build with performance parts

Nice find...have this for sale if youre interested....small $

Nice! Pm price

wanna see the work progress on this Loco. Let me know who doing the bodywork. Hey dont paint it in interlagos blue please because thats what im putting my 5 series in!

Bodywork in progress. Pics refuse to upload. Right now she is totally torn down and awaiting drivetrain removal. Actually me may go with the same blue you mentioned

Oh here we go

paint it like the one on frank ocean's album cover

Orange. Not bad. Problem is entire interior is brown. Very few colours brown goes good with. Definitely not interlagos blue.

Dark brown like the range rovers

Damask Red

if the interior is tan brown the blue would bring it out! Looking for a car show flawless finish painter who knows how to scrap bmw's without breaking stuff

Scrap car yourself, mask off stuff yourself...

curious as to progress on this build.

Car was painted on christmas day. Gonna visit it for the first time in mths. Progress pics soon
