Story behind the car:
I originally bought this car to be a beater/daily driver. Then I discovered this forum and it's no longer a beater, but it's still a daily driver.
I owe just about everything to this forum. I've bought most of my parts from r3v sellers, and I've supported many of the mechanics and retailers who specifically cater to the e30 community, such as E30 Motor Werks, Red Rockets Labs (George Graves), Gutenparts, Manzaa Automotive Lighting Innovation, Blunt Tech, and German Audio Specialties. Lastly, I have to thank all the friends who helped me work on my car, including Joey (lifestyle101), Alex (Iwantseed), Bob (Blackout), Jack (Cactusjacks1).
