first e30

well im not sure what lip it is, and i will get more pics of the engine and interior asap.

also yes i do have black leather sports and i believe the rust is manageable, mostly minor surface rust and the one hole near the front left will have a new piece of sheet metal soon enough also do you know what this gasket and plastic piece go to?

The first one is an extra thermostat housing gasket (not for the thermostat itself, but more for the thing that the thermostat is inside). You'll want to replace that every time you take your housing off to replace your thermostat, basic maintainence stuff. You don't want that leaking cause labor to get there takes forever lol

The second piece.. Someone else would have to chime in on.. I've never seen that in my life

more pics!

the cracked dash/ shitty stereo area neads to get replaced, that and the minimal rust and very small cracks in the drivers seat are the only things that have to be fixed. oh and the power windows..

p.s. what lip is this?

That is an early model iS valence (not a lip). eS valences don't have the two lower openings as eta's don't have an oil cooler, but i's do.

The window electrics don't have any relays, so it is likely a fuse, or the circuit breaker/lock button for the windows. It's unlikely that it is the switches as both windows don't work. Both switches would have to be bad for this to happen.

ok so i feel like a complete idiot. i was looking in my Bentley to see what could possibly be wrong with my windows and i came across the circuit breaker. it says "the circuit breaker is near the right of the center console" so me and my buddy start unbolting the center pieces near the e brake and the shifter looking for this breaker.... not knowing it was acctually a button right above the stereo!! so yes.. i am an idiot, and it was the breaker..:dot:
