Figured I'd post an update as I've got some new wheels on the car and just finished freshening up the interior.

I promised some pictures, unfortunately I wasn't able to get out of the garage today in time to have daylight. I took some night shots tonight...but I'm not happy with them. Here's the winner, of the losers. I'll get more tomorrow.

Thank you so much for all the awesome feedback gentlemen. It means a lot. It really does.

For the pinstripe, I didn't pay much attention to the stock placement I just threw a pinstripe on there where I think it looked good :) I'd say it was pretty close to factory.

And there are some more pics coming this weekend hopefully. I just finished doing a rear mount battery on the car as my poor early model did not have one haha. I was fortunate enough to find most of the factory parts at a local pick and pull, so it looks clean and factory. I also had to address a very frustrating electrical issue I was having. I figured it out after about 3 hours on the phone with my old man. Old man wisdom kicks ass. Here are some quick snaps of the battery...sorry iPhone pics.

Outstanding job with the car. Just so damn classy. You've got great taste and a good attitude, sir.
The one thing I noticed about your car was that the pinstripe seems to be set a bit higher than where the factory pinstripe was. Was that a personal preference or just how the shop went about doing it? I just had mine pinstripe redone, so I sort of have a keen eye and new appreciation for what a good solid pinstripe(s) does for the e30.

Thanks for the great read! Hope you share more in the future.
