Lime's Alpine 318is
« on: November 11, 2010, 11:21:00 AM »
Morning, guys!

Just picked up my first E30, a 318is, a few months ago! It needs a good bit of work, but overall I'm very happy. Can't wait to get everything taken care of and enjoy having this on the road. Here's some pics from the previous owner, I'll get some of my own when I get a chance!





Plans so far:
-Billy Sports and H&R Race springs
-New bushings and RSMs
-New headunit/speakers
-All red tails
-Euro filler plate
-Wheels eventually (not sure what I'll do)

Thanks!

Awesome looking car, I know a guy selling borbet type H wheels 15x7 for 300 with tires. You should look into those. They would look stunning on the car.

I'm set on RSs or something of the like. Gotta have lip and be a weave of some kind for now! It's just always been my favorite style on the E30.

Thanks! 123k right now but it doesn't show it except for the suspension. That's why I'm addressing that first!

Thanks for the comments everybody! Lots of great info/people on this site. Glad to have found it!

It's a '91 so I'm guessing AW 2.

As YetiX said, it's Alpine II.
