Interesting how there’s an obsession with originality down to the most minute detail, while at the same time other areas are significantly upgraded or modified. In any case, I love that the owner built the exact car he wanted. Stunning!

That was my thought as well. Insanely well done, but the seats stand out like a sore thumb.

This kind of confused me too, and also how the valuation was derived considering this, and that maybe valuations are not affected by changing away from original condition/style etc

He couldn’t help himself with his JDM experience. For instance, I couldn’t help myself on the suspension as well. To me, the suspension and an extremely high quality short shift kit along with brakes is the utmost importance for driver satisfaction.

The fact that the owner knows who to call to find all reproduction parts is the big mind-blower here. E30 Garage in Norway will give you a complete replacement body shell and outer panels, but for a lot of this stuff, I'm pressing my temples going, "HOW!?" "WHO!?" "dude~!" ...

@Schmitzelhaus 7 ай бұрын

While i´m not quite this particular about every clip and bolt, this OEM+ is the way to go for me as well with my E36´s, increasing driveability and performance where possible, but without compromising the original looks. You won´t find a piece on my car that you couldn´t option from factory back in the days, but at the same time pretty much everything underneath it is completely new and brought up to date, for example completely new Bilstein suspension, strut bearings, stronger wishbones, anti-roll bar, etc... Same goes for interior, lookswise i got a completely original looking Blaupunkt radio, but inside it has a USB-port, Aux-in, bluetooth and even digital radio DAB+, but i had to figure out how to run it over the factory antenna, since i obviously didn´t want an additional one that wasn´t in there when it rolled out of the factory. 😅👌 Anyways, this is pretty much the absolute perfect E30 restauration, completely jaw dropping! And without a doubt to me the value of it will only increase from here. The more parts will become inevitable just unavailable , the more it´s value is gonna increase, inevitable. It´s probably already almost impossible to recreate this build to this extend, so i REALLY would hesitate to ever sell this gem of a car! 👍

@y0057 6 ай бұрын

Very beautifully done, bravo👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. So I ran a couple of this when they were still relatively new, a Ceccoto model and an evolution for close to 25 years. So I know what to look for, this one here is not original, I’d say perhaps 60% close. He has mixed a lot of non OEM, Sport Evolution model parts in a mish marsh to come up to a stunning looking car but by no means not 💯 % OEM. The headlights lights and wheels jump out instantly to start with, the carbon box is another, the rubber in the engine bay also was unique to the sport evolution for aero dynamics, I could go on and on. The above is a small list of noticeable non OEM to standard car. Wish the wheels were the genuine article. Aside from that great effort and stunning looking car. Well done indeed👌🏿
