Alright guys, big update. UPS just dropped this off at 9.15PM ;D

Car looks awesome. Did you have to do anything weird to fit a late model valance with diving boards?

The 61 and the 83 are oriented different so they're not upside down. If they weren't the 61 would kinda look like a 19.

Thanks! Nope nothing really crazy. You need to cut the front 2 early tow hooks off (paint the raw steel after so it doesn't rust) and wire in the new style fog light pig tails. The air duct tunnels are a little tricky to use because of the horns hanging so low but its possible to use them, whole install is basically a direct fit.

Did you ever find out anything about that HVAC panel? Seems odd with the "61" sitting a different way than the rest of the numbers.

Huh never really noticed that actually, no not much. I read that it was some weird "climate control" option. No idea though. Plus the car at the junk yard didn't have any extra wiring leading to it.

Well this happened yesterday...



And a interior shot...

Did a oil Change last month, I'm 300 miles till the tranny and engine hit 100k! Along with the odometer of course!
I'm starting to get board of my current wheels so I'm trying to figure out what to get next.
Some more pics. Looks like I haven't updated in a while so the
new parts are:,
-Smileys (traded my extra transmission and the guy gave me $100 bucks)
-Awesome hounds tooth which I'm really happy I bought that day
-Got a better shape Black iS spoiler (off a schwartz car; no more plasti-dip)
-Replaced CPS
-55L fuel gauge (euro)
-Tints; 50% Front 20% Rear
-Tucked bumpers by using rear diving board vert shocks and plastic bumper front shocks; no half ass drilling to tuck bumpers :up:
-Got new M-Stripes for the steering wheel from the dealer

Plans still:
-Get a new driveshaft (U-Joints are slowly failing)
-Go Ground Control; and lower by an inch all around
-BBS RZ's if I can find a set for a good price
















And the only pic of my Dad's and my car together (other then the driveway) He sold it, currently looking for a hard top coupe. Crazy how much prices have gone up one these cars since I acquired mine.

Another junk yard score! Found some Bilstein's on a e30 there (and there not blown!) along with a what im assuming, rare HVAC panel with numbers on it.

Did a transmission fluid change today. Might have been the first service this tranny's ever had for all I know.

Wow not bad, very well done! I like the oem look. Is this an 325 without "i" and "is", I mean the basic version?

I think your right with it not having any lettering behing the "325" meaning its the basic version, though all 325's with out lettering behind it means its a eta verstion, aka an "e" (except mine ;))
