Guess we don't have an intro forum?
So I guess it will be here.
My name is John, I have a turbo Firebird that is going twin this time, a 1986 eta and live in South Florida *waves*. Also have a couple Fords for work trucks, but that's another fourum  anywho, just got the '30 painted, but don't think I posted pics of the car in general here. Here's what it looked like 2 yrs ago with 75k miles on it a few years ago - maybe 3? -(day I bought it, even includes the cheezy front plate)...

I bought it as the wife's daily driver, then she came home crying that she wrecked the car. Don't know how when the Navigator was immaculate that was the old DD, but....
 Then she hit a cat and the front air dam got torn off...  So I bought a new fender...  And then the antenna got smoked by a stray football with the neighborhood kids...  OH yea, then was the drunk kid who swiped the side of the car...

Just got her painted and some body work. New antenna, new rear treads are on the way, the shocks and springs are going, so I want to drop it the 2/2.5" since the drops almost the same as the stockers.
Posted pics of how she sits now in another forum. Hope to get to know some real gear-heads. Some entertainment of a guy I put in a turbo kit for (got a shop that deals with GM 60 degree v6's and 3800 Firebirds/Camaros  )...http://videos.streetfire.net/video/C...106_193741.htm Got some other projects in the works too

Welcome.
Maybe you should try demagnetizing it and that way people might stop running into it. Nice cars dude.

I feel bad for e30's like yours, they just get beat on for no good reason. That twin turbo set up looks sweet tho, just because we are E30 people, dont mean we dont like other project,. Welcome btw

Welcome to the forums! I feel bad for your car too... I can sorta relate. I had a 325e that took a most unfortunate turn of events, and is now in a crusher.
 At least yours is still on the road! |

No, it's fixed!!!      BUT the drivers' side door trim fell off last night (was damaged when the kid hit the car), anybody got an extra I can get until I shave them off completely? Also located a set of rear corner markers, anybody have some fronts? The air dam is still being repaired, when the car goes back to have that installed, the body will be color sanded and cleared so it will be uber shiney
