    The inside was horribly wet i don't know from what but i later found that it might of been from the heater core leaking. But the headliner was all corroded of something because it looked bad. but the next day i couldnt wait and storted to tear it apart.

                  eta = good starter car. quick enough to have fun in but not fast enough to get you in too much trouble. advice = keep up on your maintenance. think of your e30 like a pet. you constantly have to take care of it... or someday it will die........... 0.o off to a great start though!! :D
