    Lose the dash cover, the steering wheel, and the shifter. It looks a lot better than it did originally, though.

        Like everyone else said, lose everything that looks tacky, i.e. anything that has a wood grain in it that doesn't match anything else in the interior, and the dash cover. It's a stock eta on stock suspension, why the racing wheel? There's also the issue of the missing under-dash panel, you should probably fix that.

        Having said that the rest of the car looks familiar, it looks good and it seems that it's being taken care of like an E30 should. Continue on, sell the steering wheel and put it towards suspension or a 731 head so you can actually fill out your new tachometer.

            Looking good R0meyrome. Blue and black is a nice interior combo. If you like the wood, then I'd keep it but get a shift knob and e-brake handle that match the steering wheel. Nice floormats BTW.

              Neat car. But I got no love for wood in a car like yours. But the wheels look great, it really looks nice man!

                No, they come from the factory like that. My last 3 E30s were missing that same piece lol.

                      Too bad you weren't closer, I'd sell you my blue vinyl sport seats to complete the look.

                        BTW...more pix of the e21!

                        + 1 on the wooden items and dash cover. Other than those, thumbs up on the maintenance / upgrades. I am still confused about the desirability of the euro dash doodads though.

                          For a free mod, why not tuck the bumpers? That'll improve it also, without costing anything.

                            thanks guys. for the euro stuff i just want something different other than any of other e30s here so i figured ill just get most of the euro stuff on the car. the bumper tuck is a no go. I prefer the 15mph bumpers over looks.

                                I think you should have kept the is lip and the weaves. Still looks great though.
