why did you paint over the strut tower studs and nuts? seems like your taking the time to do everything right but what if you go to remove them and the paint sticks and cracks all around it?1988 e30 alpine white vert 5speed

at this point i dont care to save money, im out to save time, i know what your saying but i need it done, and i did the math the install kit for 900 isnt that steep, i wouldnt save that much on it if i picked up the parts separately. the only thing that sucks is getting the obd1 kit, there i would save some good coin.

alright so after redoing pretty much everything at least once, ive had enough of the painting, it gets my "good enough" trophy, even though i wanted it to be perfect. the hours i spent painting and prepping i could of had the motor running! few crappy pics...
so now i have obd1 wiring on its way, along with the zionsville install kit, till then im finishing the front sway bar install and e36 armrest install.
