Jrcalvin, Thanks for the correction about sideskirts. I just had info from a seller who wasn't sure for 100%. I'll post the spoiler manufacturer if I'll find any stamps when I'll get the parts. Meanwhile, I got the new headlights to be installed. Old ones out of car: http://img160.exs.cx/img160/6397...

Yes, it's a very first time that I see such a piece also. Sure, it request some work, but I like the shape and, especially, the price (thanks to SIX35 who posted link on auction in the sale section).

It's a semi-annual event in Toronto West, a lot of interesting cars if not to buy, but to look on.

And, as usual, one or more e24 for sale, check the car list.

I can only imagine, how much work and $$$ was spent on it, since today I put in Excel table my car expenses (only parts); after less than 1 year after I got it it's almost the same money that I paid for the car itself. And my car is not even close looking to yours....
