Thought I'd post a couple of the E30 cabrio I picked up in the spring.
130k km, garaged, and pristine hard top (no pics of that). I finally found a small spec of rust under the license-plate light. It didn't even have rust under the bumpers and trim, though I did find accident evidence that I wasn't aware of - the front bumper shocks were like new, and some monkey had got hold of a welding device and made a mess out of one of the bumper shock mounting points.

Anyway, I did a plastic bumper swap, 'cause I don't like the diving boards. Turned out pretty good.

Before:

After

Still need a front lip and a rear apron, but I think it looks way better.
