          Holes were welded shut and coated.


          Threw the carpet in. Interior is coming along slowly but surely.

            For anyone that needs a reference, these are 16x8 +25 wrapped in 225/45 KDWs. I heard KDWs run wide by the way.


            Test fit with 5mm spacers in the front and rear. Cut springs and pretty much blown shocks.

                  Grabbed a stud conversion from MR 325 here on R3v. Cluster rings, some ghetto HIDs and some boring maintenance stuff.


                  Ripped off the cluster


                  Taking apart more things..


                  Masked off the needles


                  Painted it with a hobby brush and paint which was Ford Fire Red I believe?


                  Beore/After the cluster rings and painted needles.

                          CX Racing coils vs what looks like blown koni shocks? Didn't bother looking at it.


                          Springs Before/After


                          Stud conversion and rear coils done.

                            My rotted exhaust decided to drop while I was driving so I improvised with a hanger ha.


                            Picked up an e28 is spoiler


                            was surprised this fit in the car lol.

                              A few snaps of the process during the front end refresh.


                              Suspension refresh kit came in the mail thanks to FCP! Along with Condor riser bushings and diff bushing!

                                Headers came in today. Won't be putting these on until my suspension is done :(
                                Also grabbed this plain black head unit. Hopefully it doesn't look too out of place.
