New to the board & my $500 E30 project *lots of pics*.

[audiquattrot]

Picked her up last September from a friend of mine who owned it for 3yrs. Mechanically the car is sound. Cosmetically it has a lot of dings/couple small dents & 3 rusted through holes which I'm still unsure if I should even bother trying to patch up. I'm not really sure what my plans in the future are for this car, but for the meantime you can get a feel below...of what I've done. :D

Here are a couple pics of when I picked her up:





Here are some things I've done to help revive her:
-new glove box (to replace the non-existent one)
-new front/rear roundels
-new lower front bumper valence (missing when i bought it)
-new Vogtland springs/KYB shocks
-new front rotors & pads
-painted rear taillights using Testors Candy Apple paint
-repainted all plastic trims using Duplicolor Trim paint
-sanded down rusted areas on the rear quarter wheelwells & a couple on the door. Masked, treated, & resprayed those areas using Duplicolor black paint.
-chipped away at the rust underneath the windshield (don't know what to do w/ this), under the battery by the rear bumper valence, & under the front drivers rocker panel......i'm open to suggestions w/ this.
-treated all lower rocker panels w/ 3M undercoating spray


Some pics of when I painted the tails:





Here are some recent photos of her that I took yesterday w/ the suspension installed (sits a bit low for my tastes):









And finally wheels/tires waiting to be mounted (Kopi Alpina reps 17x7.5 + Falken Azenis RT-615s ....215/40/17):

thanks man! pretty soft to be honest, but then again I have soft shocks too. Its a very comfortable ride (rides smoother than my lowered Audi), and seem to be great 'street' springs, but I can almost be sure they wouldn't perform that well on a track.

thats ok im just looking for something cheap to replace my blown suspension that will lower my car a decent amount. and from what ive found the vogtlands are about the perfect drop for me
