wow, that car is pretty rough for only 90k! looks like you are doing a good job cleaning it up though.

I am glad you are starting with maintenance items instead of mods. +1 to you.

[e30lyf]

try to cleaning up little by little. even our cars is old, much better have an old car was cleaned. or have new car but its dirty.so other people they appreciate your car. like e30 owners in this forum have really nice car. i hope 1 day my car one of them.

Definitely the right place to start. Get all of the stupid BS that goes wrong out of the way then start mod'ing it. I'd find yourself some new seats, those bad boys are rough! The previous owners of my car must have been neat freaks, because the stock seats were mint (I sold them and used Recaros). I lucked out apparently.

Now it's time to upgrade :D

Indeed. The previous owners may not have driven it much but they also left it baking under the sun it seems.

I know, Thanks matt for your recomendation for armen. Do you still have r3vlimited stickers in silver?

Good job, I am about to tackle that list on my own car I just need to get the parts ordered.

If the clear is gone then get some NuFinish and some TurtleWax Compound. I forget which comes first...maybe the NuFinish, but I did this to my car and it came out great. It should definitely give it some shine back.
