    After coming to terms with the car and getting some basic maintenance done, I've decided to post up the results of some 'work' I've done on the car.

    First, I spent about 6 hours reworking the paint with a Porter Cable 7424XP DA orbital polisher, lots of different pads and Meguiars M105 + M205 + some nice wax.

    (Click on pictures for full size)

    Before:









    Ok so the paint was pretty decent before... minus the roof. Let's see what it looks like after all that hard work.

    After:











    More to come...

        Oh, what is this? A package from Germany?



        What could be in here... oh, yeah.



        Some clear front turn signals... so much better than the amberlamps ones that were on before.

                Thanks man! There's still a couple spots I'd like to do and some extra detail work left, but I'll get to it soon enough. :)

                    These were in the car before, but were taken out before it was sold to me. Some Recaro Enjoys. Much, much better than the sport seats.

                        Does the car have a 5-lug swap or are the style 5's just re-drilled to fit the 4 lug? Just wondering cause you said the brakes were fading so Im assuming it still has the stock e30 4 lug brakes.

                            Redrilled style 5's. Brakes were fading cause the pads are NOT track pads. :(
