Hello, my name is John (yannis)

I would like to introduce myself. I'm GreeK/Sicilian, Born and raised in Astoria NY. Now living in New Jersey. I'm able to speak Greek, but reading it I have a problem with. I'm able to read alittle but very slowly.... hahahaha.... anyway.... this is what I'm driving

I have a 1984 e30/m10. Please check out some of my pictures. let me know what you think. Alot of the work was done by me and the paint was done by a good friend of mine.

this is what it looked like 2 years ago.

It's nice to have a friend over the Atlantic. Do you come to Greece often? Which part of Greece are you from?

I wish you good rides with your excellent toy!

Hello my friend

Well from a first sight your car is very good (well done, nice transformation)

I have three questions for you
Where is the antenna from the left back of the vehicle, the sun roof and why the plates are not the same?

Anyway you have done a grate job to your car, congratulations and welcome to the finest BMW club in Greece, I hope to enjoy your staying.

Welcome John.The job on your BMW is very impressive I own an e30 and it shows like youρ car two years ago but I prefer the classic shape of the car.
Anyway,If you want sport appearence yours is better.
I hope see you here in Greece and welcome again.

Thank you all for your generous replies. I hope to visit Greece again real soon.

I'm very unsure of what kind of engine upgrade I will do. I had some ideas such as maybe a Mazda rx7 third generation motor or maybe go with an m20and make it easy for myself.... (the engine upgrade has to be a secret from the wife) :nixweiss:

as for the antenna, I removed it and filled in the hole. my new antenna is in front of my sunroof (sunroof is still there) like the e30 m3, not as pretty as the m3 though.

the plates are not the same because I found this car in Ohio state, I live in New Jersey.

Again, I would love to thank all of you for the warm welcome and I hope to visit Greece soon and maybe take part in one of your car meets.

thank you
John

I forgot to mention my father is from Athens (Neo Psixiko) we had a apartment and a house which were both recently sold.

I really miss Greek some much. I had many childhood memories there every summer. I think the last time I was in Greece was maybe 15 years ago. I remeber I went to visit my cousins in Corfu and they gave me a new motocross bike. They used to own a Yamaha dealership there. well a couple of days later I had an accident with the bike and broke my arm. hahahahahaha, the funny thing is I went on the bike the next day and I was riding again..... :smashtard
