My iX + what i've done so far...

[audiquattrot]

Loving that Alpina knob (and that radio - I have the same one thanks to you).

The BMW motorsport valve cover... not audiquattrot worthy imho but that's just me :-)



found a 101k mile 88 IX coupe Lachs/Cardinal. 'nuf said I suppose :-) floor pans are intact, usual fender and battery tray BS. also quarter panel needs replacement. But it's gonna be amazing when done I hope.

the alpine 91 coupe has about 127k on it and really does look and show well. will be putting it up for sale soon. probably done buying E30s after this.

ahhh an even better color combo! glad you found one with good bones!

Hey did you finally put your HT seats in? post some pics man!!!

ugh don't remind me. This has been sitting in my hallway for years waiting to be attended to. I still need to swap two bolsters (have the replacements) just haven't found time to do it + clean up the rails. Def this spring I will install them though.

Man wow very nice progress!!! how did I miss this.. I like to be the first in line if you ever sell : )

haha thanks! there is a long waiting list, although for the price that I would unload it for would prob eliminate everyone on that list!

I demand you ship those seats and bolsters immediately, and the rear seat too. will put them all together for you for cost of ship to (and limited use over the winter lol). I'll pay the ship back.

I'm actually serious lol. would love to take pics of that interior!

LOL I appreciate the offer Brad! its so easy to swap out, i'm just being super lazy about it since I have been wanting to order new heating elements....but just don't have the balls to fork over $300 for the elements new.

On top of that, I have plans on cutting port holes for my lukebox + still need to install the rear seat headrests too.

I almost scored a houndstooth rear armrest, but when that fell thru, I lost motivation.....def all in the Spring it will come together, promise :D

had my ACS winter wheels refinished at my local powdercoater (who did a phenomenal job on my Alpina's several years ago)...Espo's Powdercoating

I decided to just have the entire wheel powdercoated, instead of keeping the lip brushed....which corroded from winter use.

The AC Schnitzer decal was faded, so I took rubbing compound and removed it. Got a replacement sticker from an e30 guy off of Instagram....cut the ivy part of the sticker off, and left just the font

My cousin from Toronto got me a couple of bottles of Formula 3000 to spray the underside of my car to prevent rust. For some reason this stuff isn't sold in the US

did two cans do the full undercarage?

i'll let you know after this weekend. Haven't sprayed it yet. Plan on shooting the wheel wells and as much as the underbody as I can.

SOOO much more comfortable riding on 195/60/15's as opposed to my last winter tires that were 195/55/15. Absorbs the road/potholes like a Cadillac.

What suspension are you running again?

[jeenyus]

Ok, I read back through and I guess the real question is, "still running the Bilstein and HR combo?"
