    Had E30 a few months now. A few pics throughout.

    Picked up e30 in Feb. Done quite a bit of work over the past months. Here a some photos throughout my work.

    right before i picked her up.







    After yellowing the high beams




    found some rust under carpet when pulling carpet to clean.


    after cleaning carpet and reinstalling


    cleaned carpet, took out dash and cleaned / reassembled, cleaned leather



    Now most of my cosmetic repairs are done, its time to tackle the suspension and electrical issues.:grin:

      You didn't take care of the rust while the carpet was out? Man I've had way to many "the fuck" moments in the past couple days.

          How did you yellow your highbeams if you don't mind me asking, I've been wanting to do the same.
          I don't know what's going on...

                of course i took care of the rust! i did a lot of actual work on the car, unfortunatley my pics are just showing how shiny it looks, etc..



                grinded it down to pure metal, sanded and coated with a rust protector and then some rust preventing spray paint.

                    Coming along nicely. A black windshield lock strip would do wonders for the outside. Easy enough to install yourself too.

                      i actually just took out the strips and resprayed them white, but they dont look too good and they got a little beat up w/ my screwdriver while reinstalling.. so yea i think im guna tape off the edges and spray them black today
