Beauty is in the details... (56k beware)

cup holder?? Did you make that? Or buy it?

I bought it off of "SFGadgetguy888" (sorry if I butchered your screen name, bud!) here on r3v. Very worth the price.

Here's a farther away shot with 8mm spacers in the rear from Rob. Ordered my 15mm spacers for the fronts last night.

A forum member here used to sell them. From what he told me, I got the last one of his latest batch. Not sure if he's still making these or not. If there's interest enough, I'll ask him if he minds me using his design and try and fab a few up.

I was worried at first about having a cup holder and losing "storage space". The cup holders may get rid of the ash tray and little area behind it, but honestly it's more USUABLE space and it holds drinks very, very well.

Where did you get that cup holder? That thing is perfect!

that looks fantastic. i love every single bit of it. i need a pair of cupholders like yours!
by the way, not that your car isn't awesome as is, but i think it'd be cool if you add some sort of kit or rather, something color match the rest of your exterior white....me thinks mtech II? :D

Exactly my thoughts. All in good time. I'd prefer to trace down, either in pieces or save me pennies and get a full OEM M-Tech II kit.

The black is great for now with the contrast etc, but M-Tech II just looks soo... perfect.

Appreciate all the positive and kind words! Many thanks. It is, as all of us know, always a work in progress. It's glad to finally be making head way and any future changes are fairly expensive and extensive ;) (M-Tech II kit etc etc...) Things that take awhile to piece together but after it's done it's like, "holy shit balls and apple sauce, that's a bitchin' e30..."

steering wheel looks great! practically new. defiantly need to invest in one myself

[ck_taft325is]

Awsome...

Thanks

I was thrilled with how it turned out for our first project together. My wife is amazing. Since then she's come out to help remove the entire interior of the parts car so we can start stitching together some leather Sport seats. I have some seat shocks to buy as the originals are obviously blown out. It'll be fun and we should have some good saddle brown leather interior to either install or sell ;)

[RobertB]

All thanks to you, sir! :D My wife was thrilled by it even though she was a bit on the fence originally. Here's it finished right before install:




Bit of detail on it.

Awsome...

Looks good, but I say get flat caps for them A's!

I got 'em ;) I've been putting off re-spraying the wheels. They don't match in color at all. Trying to decide if I want to garage refurbish or pay to have them professionally done up. Until just recently, I was thinking about a polished lip, but 'eh... a bit much IMO.

Sounds like we need to get an Olympia area E30 meet going :)

I'd be game. Although I believe there's "Coffee and Cars" in Tacoma at a cafe of some sorts every Weds... I always have a hard time swinging the 7pm meet time though. That's right around bed time for the baby :)

That was me. I was up there looking at a '86 535i.
