                  PAINT is worse than anyone on here (have paint just need time)

                  Did I mention my paint looks like shit, oh well its worth saying twice.


                  My e30 has taught me more in patience in the last 6months than I ever learned before in my life for anything.

                    need a new steering rack. waiting on a 3.0 to show up.

                    Those treehouse bushings are making noise, need to RR and clean.

                    Needs new brakes, rebuilding all around.

                    Rear subframe is kinda shitty, im gonna rebuild it all with stripped arms and all new parts.

                    Diff sucks, need 60% lockup.

                    Car is slow.

                    No A/C, Im thinking about reinstalling it.
                    Im now E30less.

                                Paint needs a good polishing.
                                #2 intake rocker arm is broken.
                                Some random squeaks and creaks in the suspension.
                                Wheels need to be balanced.
                                Steering rack is 4 turns lock to lock.
                                Interior is ragged out as shit.
                                Dash has cracks.
                                Tach works intermittently.
                                Car needs to be lowered.
                                Exhaust is too loud (only on some days when I'm "cranky")
                                Stereo just isn't good enough (factory premium sound w/Blaupunkt Pasadena).
                                Front air dam sags in the middle.

                                That's all I could think of at the moment.

                                EDIT: TOB or input shaft bearing is bad.
