      Good job on all the hard work. But all of the black is kind of making the car look cheap =/ imho.

        Are those the two seats that are staying in the car after reupholstering? Or are they just a mismatched set?


        Thank you! previous owner had E34 seats installed, but I bought these m-tech sport seats that I'm going to reupholster


        the reason I have one of the sports seats in the car NOW is because they are incredibly comfortable

            Since you don't like shiney chrome or aluminum. I'd go with body color. And look for a 87 iS airdam.

              You've got a lot of work to do my friend, a drop, 5 speed swap with the new seats and you'll be looking good.

              Good idea, I don't think I've ever seen one on a vert.
              I want a nice set of smoked MHW's (I know, get it line)

                Interesting car! Looks pretty rough and mismatched but sometimes that's the beauty of a project car.
                Hell, one of my cars is currently 5 different colors. Keep up the work!

                BTW, I appreciate the iS lip on the early valence. However, I think it's a little unnoticeable when in black, and waay back on the early model valance.
                If your set on keeping the diving boards, id suggest to swap on a late bronzit valance to make it a lil' bit more noticeable/aggressive.

                cool stuff!
