I really like the side exit above the rockers, that'd look sweet. Also, shooting fireballs would be cool.

Why not be like @Jdesign and put a Ford 5.0 in?

Not a bad car, not running but it looks fairly clean and rust free.

No detonated axels, or any other mechanical issues that I'm aware of. The turnout wasn't huge, probably because of the weather, but also the length of the drive and location. If you live an hour (or more) away and factor in the drive time to and from the cruise it gets to be a lot of driving, so I can't blame anyone for not showing up. Still, I thought the route was great, and it was good to spend some time hanging out as always. 👍
Agreed, the route was awesome. I would love to run it again when it's dry, maybe something for next summer for us Madison area people/anyone else who wants to make the trip? It was great to meet all of you and finally put some names to faces!

Well, I guess I'll start.
Not sure what to post, but I suppose I could give a bit of background info on myself and my car. I'm a freshman at MSOE right now, mechanical engineering, and I'm originally from Madison where I met Chris a few years ago and was introduced to the forum.
I've got a 1989 325i vert that I've slowly been bringing back from neglect. It had the rear suspension and driveshaft components refreshed/replaced last winter, and the head rebuilt with new cam/rockers/valve springs in June due to a broken valve spring. I've done a lot of interior refreshing as well, along with new tires and some other little things.
Oh, and it's Alpine White, which seems to be a thing around here.
Not sure where I'm going to go with it from here, probably gonna refresh the front suspension, maybe a manual swap, and maybe spring for a x-brace, but who knows with college and all that.

Nice inexpensive set of wheels for an e30 if anyone's looking.

I'll be there, unless something comes up MSOE related.

I believe you have to go and clear your browser cache and refresh the page before it'll work for images that you've already tried to view.

Lots of good stuff on this one, all the way in Virginia though. Also, could anyone tell me what those wheels are?

This also happened. Only 1000 miles old too.

I believe I saw @cpandrewschmidt westbound on the beltline in Madison this morning, black e30 vert?
-
What about a 190e?

Oxidized mostly, with a lot of spotting. I still left the clear anodizing on it, just polished it up.
Interesting. Any specific product/method you recommend for getting the oxidation off? The rear bumper on my e30 could definitely use some love.
-
Was the bumper oxidized, or just scuffed/scratched?

I'm in as long as I can get home from school for the weekend.

Where did you go for the smoke test? I've been looking to do the same thing, but haven't really been sure where to go or how much it'd cost.
-
What are you planning on using to repaint the rockers?

No clue if it's a reputable company, but it's kinda intriguing.

I think he has some kind of a problem with raccoons.

Have you thought about using NACA ducts on the hood or roof? Might look interesting.

While we're on the subject of verts, here's a pretty decent one for the money. I really dig the euro bumpers, but it could use a rear skirt.
