Who drives that Laguna Seca blue '76 2002?!?!
I do. Bitches.
Painted it today. Got rid of all the rust and all of the agave green.
The gun was only making a very small fan so it took about an hour to spray the whole thing but it looks good.
Can't wait to get it on the road again in the next couple weeks on those gold BBS.
EDIT: For comparision alot of people said my color was off. I think its pretty close compared to this:

nope i didn't paint the car. His friend jeff w/ the 2002 did. however i will be painting a car next weekend. and maybe Ingmars car soon
I gotta get my 510 over to my aunts house so me and Justin can do all the body work and prime it.....and possibly ask nicely for you to paint it.

Ingmars car needs to be fixed before any paint added to the rust
awesome, looks good in the pictures
cant wait to see the results
2002's are awesome cars. Good choice of color as well.

cool post some more pics when it is done
-IA MGMT is inappropriate.
I like the color, i saw you in town last weekend in your galant.
In dahlonega? I ate at that zaxby's last sunday on the way to brasstown bald. Lots of hot cars a couple NSX's and some Lotus's up there.
Anyway all my trim is going black on the bmw. I already put the emblem on to see how it would turn out. Nice contrast.
The orange peel isnt TOO bad. I mean you can tell but its so thick on the top of the car, in a couple weeks the wet sanding should take some out. If you saw the car before with the rust spots compared to now it looks a hundred times better, not showcar better, but better for sure and thats all I wanted for my daily.
looks like it turned out nicely.
holy hail thats nice...
twoONEoh
holy fucking hotness jay.......mmmm so gorgeous.
2002=the sex
Val RIP
looks good
BUY MY HATCH <--click the link, cuz.
niceee....what BBS wheels? Pleaseee tell me LM's!
nice. same as spoolin's hatch is. but its cool though.
I have a BMW painted a BMW color(or close to it), he has a Civic hatch. Its not like i was copying him. Had I painted it Phoenix yellow then yeah thats lame.
Hymm. I like the green, had a very classic look to it. Can't wait to see how it turns out though, are you keeping the yellow headlights?
The green sucked. Is was a shitty paintjob plus the rust blew ass. And yeah I'm keeping the yellow.
Hell yeah. Yellow headlights FTW!

Alright, I put it in the backyard to cure today. It's about 90% done. I just need to put the mirrors/trim/side markers back on, get the glass in and the door panels in, and wait on all the new stuff to come in.
I swapped in the beige Recaro front and rear seats but I don't have the headrests yet so I had to use my old black ones.
a near british racing green on a not so british car doesn't work though!
that is going to looks real nice with gold wheels, can't wait to see how it turns out
man, I cant say Im a HUGE fan of that color, but it is looking sick. Nice job.
I think it looks better on an old car than the new m3. This car is more of a toy anyway and with that color to me it looks really old. The m3s with it look like 60k cars with a little boys room color.
Nice!
Looking nice.

what wheels do you have?
320i 13in BBS mesh
LOOKING GOOOD
curious what kind of motor comes in those cars and are you planning any motor work or possible motor swap forgive my bmw ignorance, even when i was stationed in germany i didnt know much bout them
2.0 l sohc 4 cyl. About 110 hp stock.
I'm building a 2.1 10 to 1 compression motor with a schrick cam/ACL bearings/Mahle pistons/Tii exhaust manifold. Thats going in probably like Jan or Feb.
I have a weber 32/36 and ansa exhaust on there right now and with everything on the new motor I should be around 150 whp. The car weighs 2020 pounds with me in it. So that should give you an idea. AutoX and mountains is what I may do with it if I do any events, mainly its just my daily thats going to have a little more balls.
You can do early model 3 series v6's in them and then e30 M3 swaps go in but for the price to double ratio I should be up there running with the stock m3 swap guys anyway. I'm revving to 8k too you know.
sounds good ill be honest when i first saw it i was likethen i read up on the car and seen alot of good things about them there very nice rides and yours is turning out very nice, keep it up man
