    I hate doing dishes

    So, I've decided to get rid of them. Well, not that I've ever really had a lot.

    I've been sitting on quite a pile of parts over the winter. It's been an icy one for Atlanta, so no real work has been done.


    This has been waiting around for awhile.. So, I'll post up all the steps that have been taken over the last few weeks. Let me go edit some crappy pictures.

        So, I've dropped a hint or so about these things, so here they are out of the box:


        And here's the first visit to the shop two weeks ago:


        I sold these wheels last fall:


        I've been on basket weavers l winter.. It's time for them to go

        Grizzle cheeks here is where I can get on a lift. He works at a pretty damn nice Audi shop now, it's great to have a clean workshop to borrow

        I didn't shoot any real sequences of takes wheels off and putting different ones on. I think everyone here can work it out. Back on the ground:

        After seeing they fit perfect, I wheeled her outside:

              Love the wheels! You should get some stickers for them too:



              I'm sure someone here can make you a set in red...which would look sick! Post more pictures once you get the rest of that stuff on!

                Well, JackBenny officially had his TH 1780's on his car first so I'm a close second to having TH's on an e30 in America (That I'm aware of.. Plus, his car is AMAZING so I would pay way more attention to his ride). Anywho, on to more pictures

                Notice that there is a color change in the pile of parts:


                Let's see what it's all about. Has she's been for the last 3 years:

                So at this point last week, I wasn't too happy with the front ride height. Lucky, I have a solution buried in those boxes..

                  I have never wanted those wheels as much as I do now after seeing them on your car. Those look great!

                    Drop hats!! We installed them this Saturday plus the fog light blanks. So, I'm really happy with the front ride height. I bought them from Richard at Diverse Motorsports. So far I'm super happy with them. With the new lower ride height and the fact I live in Atlanta (the worst roads in the South East), I also got a skid plate from ejnight at Raceskids. I don't have any pics of it, but there are plenty of those to go around.

                    Here's some more with the final ride height:

                        I don't think I've ever disliked a wheel on an E30 more... those are gross and dated looking.

                          And finally, she's been taken off of daily driver duty. I've been driving her 2 hours everyday for the past 4 years! You can see the new 4 door that's going to get me around work on the side. I got her a nice blankie for when I'm gone even..




                          And here what she started as one day one.. A little trip down memory lane:
