Cleanin up my E30

[mazie30]

Hey everyone, i was finally reunited with my e30 after 4 months so i decided to clean it up and make it how i want my e30 to be. Raised up some money and now just workin!
im only here for two weeks to work on it but i have set a goal to finish in a week! its gunna be fun!
My goals are to do a wire tuck on throughout the whole car, deep clean the interior, I am repairing the exterior, lowering it, filling in the dash cracks, minor body work before paint, welding new exhaust and cleaning up stock m20 headers, organizing all the wires under the dash and whatever other misc things I find!


this is what she looked like before the project started

And it begins

What are your plans?

What are the specs on your spacers to mount the style 5s with?

[cmcgrogan]

duplicolor red from the looks of it. that stuff is thin iirc

Did you paint your door cards and panels?

I'll take a couple of pics of the spacers for you, but I think they are 1 1/2 in spacers 4x100 to 5x120 I believe. I'll look more into it. And I put more of my plans in the description

Did you paint your door cards and panels?

Yeah they were tan but they were filthy and I couldn't get some of the stains on so I decided to just go for it and paint em black I think it looks better. What do you think?

Man, whats with the rust and four point harness in a stock seat I mean Wtf.

[trcooperone]

They look good, what kind of paint did you use?

[golde30]

gotta take off those race harness before you snap your spine. you have to run a harness bar. Also, that backdrop is not SF.

[mazie30]

So wait... Did you just heat/tie/cut/idontevenknowwhatthefuck the springs? almost looks as if you just pressed them together and used some kind of band?

This is great...
