If your girl didnt want to help, then its time for a new one.

MMMM dont think so... she was tired today.. she helped me with a lot of stuff... she paid rent like for 3 months so i can get as many turbo parts as possible, shes always there for my and she loves ridin in the e30... shes also learning to drive stick on the e30 so we might get another one

Dude where are you doing this? In a parking lot? That's nuts. I did the timing belt today in a garage without power or heat and I thought I had it bad.

yeah! i hate to align the hood, its a pain i i never get it perfect haha

he did care at first, but after a while he told me as long as i dont get the walls of the building all greasy he didnt care... besides that we had trouble a few months ago cause when it rain this fucking parking lot looks like a pool.. i waked up and the floor of the car was wet and like with a inch of water... so i told him i wasnt going to pay him rent haha... long story but hes cool now

There is some awesome spelling and grammar in this thread... I can barely make it through what the op is talking about.. Good thing for pictures I guess.
