bernz, where do you source your ac compressor?

[bernzpeed]

from our suppliers.

usually nippondenso is what is in the e30
or could be bosch if replaced.

there are different suppliers and we go with whom prices are reasonable and readily available for delivery within the day or 2.

Finally got my HIDs installed in the headlamps and fogs lamps.

First try... Don't push!




Second try, the wiring of the bulb housing was in the way and I couldn't close the lid.



Wish I had grinder, this would've been really round.

Finally found some time to do some stuff on the car.

shes a beauty! one question...why not just take the trim off to spray it? masking things just scares me a lil...would hate the overspray if any. anyways...very nice man. very nice.

Thanks! I tried taking the bumpers out and it was giving me a hard time. I was afraid to break the tabs off the trims if i pried them off. I will replace them in the future since the driver side has a crack and i just put a little filler and sanded to paint.

Still looks good somehow. She is slowly getting back to her glory.

I still need to clean & shampoo the carpet and then swap the interior to black.

Looking good! What white paint did you use for the front valance and the black trims? I have basically the same car and needs the same updates.

looks great. how did you fix the cracked boot cover in the steering rack?

[bernzpeed]

Thanks, everyone. It is getting there. The paint had some discoloration so i scrubbed it with a 1200 grit sandpaper and it looks mighty whitey. I just need to wax it so it looks shiny again. There's a lot of nicks on the hood and bumper so I in the future, i might have to do a whole car repaint.

I had the paint store mix me up a spray can of Alpine White II. I didn't spray it with clear coat which I also had. I guess I should've, dammit!

Bought new ones from Blunttech. I haven't done it yet since my jackstands are being used by my part out car.
