I found this in the E30 Zone archives tonight. Jitzy01 is the owner. There was no other information on the post, and it goes back a couple of years (May 2013).
This owner is obviously very proud of his Baur, although it may not be to everyone's taste, including mine. But I do admire the enthusiasm and spirit of anyone who works as hard as this guy did to make this 'his own".
But that isn't the real reason I have it posted here today. Although I have no info on where this car is from, this pic is a great example of something that we have talked about many times here.... but can never seem to get a really good pic of what we are talking about!
Here it is: South African-built E30 Baurs are distinguished from their Stuttgart-built cousins by the distinctive 'body color' Baur frame! Stuttgart Baur Frames are black. Notice the color of this Baur Frame: red!

Forget the trunk lip, special BBS wheels, camber and stretched tires! Check out the color of that C pillar! It is RED, as clear as day! :) Therefore, this Baur is either a South African-built Baur, or it has had a respray that included the Baur frame. :)
That is my main point.... this is what we mean by 'body-colored' Baur frame.
Now here are the rest of the pics for you to .... ummmm .... enjoy. ;)
