Pics of my 1971 panel bus and 1988 bmw e30 m3

[battlee30M3]

Finally, pictures of both of my rides together. The m3 just got freshly painted bumpers, custom brake ducts, x-drilled rotors and pads. The bus just got its 1000 mile tune up and is ready to rip. All she needs is a new transmission is built for my old motor(1600cc) The new motor is a 2165cc. I was also being pulled over for being to loud. I never got a ticket due to my car is over 30 years old. My exhaust system is approx. 3 feet long with a flowmaster and a 4" out. I needed to quite it down a tad so I made an iron cross insert for the 4" out. The exhaust needs to be unbolted and resprayed. My new driveway works out well, I have 1 inch of clearence!

nice, I remember the bus looking more-orange in a different pic, is it dirty?

Also, didn't you say something about a sponsorship on the bus?

[uncle_el]

i like the look of both of your rides.
i too thought your bus was a bit more orange in the night photos you posted a while back.

nice M and cool bus, i think it was going to be sponsored by tecate beer was it? i dont know, but cool bus and M, i love it

Your e30 M3 is tight. You could do better with nicer rims though.

The bus has always been a dirty red. I just got a garage so the body work will start soon. Yea I will be recieving a sponcer from tecate. I have to get the body figured out and they will be painting and decaling the bus. Heres an Idea of what it should look like! enjoy

I love the look of the bus. Where did you get that template for the sponsorship design?

[battlee30M3]

you can build all types of buses on busselecta.com or something like that. The tecate logos are from work. I work for a beer distributership in seattle.

Your M3 is nice, I especially like the rims, what kind are they??

[mpower319]

WTF those rims on the m3 look fake, and ugly at that Other than that, clean M.

[Kassel]

the rims give it a uniqueness.. they arent THAT bad common guys... I do think that they would look better if chagned though, but i like that gunmetal look with the paint

[dunesforyou]

They look like smushed up Type #44's, but they work in a sense...

Love the bus and the M3. My friend has a 76 camper model, that he is completely re-doing.

Nice job...

they are similar to the type 44's but are 7 spoke and don't wrap over the outside of the rim.

I am planning on repowdercoating them soon. but before I strip them I am going to make them 2 tone. All the spokes have distinct lines where they meet the outer wheel, I am thinking of respraying the spokes either silver(I have left over body paint) or black and then leave the outer rim still gunmetal. Its just an Idea but since I have to strip the existing powdercoat a little paint won't make it much worse to do. It could turn out pretty good.
