Thanks guys. Thought I'd share this... The auto top works! I thought it was broken, turns out it's just slow as hell and I wasn't holding the button long enough for the latches to unlatch.

Edit: forgot to say I did the timing belt 2 days ago

EDIT: Figured I'd post some pics during the job I found on my computer. I cleaned everything before reassembly, this was right after I got the timing cover off and hadn't cleaned anything yet .



Aligning to TDC threw thew the kidney grill

Solid score dude!

Your MT2 was just about the same shape mine was in when I got it. A polish, new leathers, and a tuneup will do wonders. Enjoy saving it. :up:

Beautiful vert! Left a card on a similar Mtech vert (same color/same interior) in Seattle, but dude held on to it. Was in a bit worse condition than yours. Looking forward to see what you do with it!

Nice find! Good luck on the restoration. Truly a worthy E30 to invest time and money in.

Thanks! I'll let you know if I change my mind ;)

Awesome! Now that's what I call a score.

Looks good, those door panels are cool. Too bad the interior wasnt taken care of.

And there is two versions of alpine white. One was single coat, one was clear coated.

You sir scored! Your so lucky. A respray and recover of the interior and that thing will be perfect. Besides the obvious tune up of the motor and suspension.

ya, some of the car was resprayed.

my car's bumpers and trim were also in bad shape. and i had Oliver repaint them in single stage. it really made the car look a lot better. and his price was very reasonable.

these cars werent clear coated from factory.
nice find tho. you can use magic eraser to get off the black marks on the map pockets.
spray WD40 into the lock and maybe u will get it to turn.
those are very special door cards. they were an add-on.
as for the interior, there is a guy in sac that can recover it for about $2k.

Thanks for the info Eric. I'll defiantly start cleaning the door cards tomorrow with what you recommended. I got to say though, It looks like clear coat peal! I'll eventually get the kit resprayed.




Also, the wheels cleaned up great!
