Took me a over a year, but I finally got my first e30

[z28]

The package from Germany finally arrived, and here it is... carbon fiber dtm mirrors and some good ol German newspaper.

This is not the package that I have coming from Germany, but it is a neat addition to the interior. I found the DIY online here .... so I decided to give it a try, and it came out great. I used the same cup holder, but I used 4 screws instead of 2.






Here you can see the 4 screws

I got a cool little package coming from Germany.

Well, I guess I didn't put enough silicone on the headlights since the passenger high beam is getting condensation now I have to take the passenger side off to take a better look. On another note, I finally fixed my turn signals by replacing the flasher with an electronic flasher... Finally my left turn signal works and no more hyper flash because of the LEDs.

Finally got the demo headlights and I put some yellow transparent vinyl on them. I decided to add some silicone on the lights to make sure they do not leak in the near future... since they are depo's. Ill try to get them mounted next week.

I had to cut a hole on them to fit the H1 HID bulbs.



And here are the depo lights with the yellow vinyl on them.

I didn't show it earlier because I was busy with some stuff, but my gf got me a momo indy woodgrain steering wheel for christmas. I'm so lucky to have a girl that appreciates my passion for cars and puts up with my "projects".

Oh yeah, you're so lucky - I'm jealous haha. don't understand why some girls don't respect our passion for cars etc.

Nice car and progress. Keep going bud.

This is a really cool build, man. Keep it up!

Got some front and rear smoked side markers, electronic hazards flasher relay and LEDs. Not gonna try the flasher until later, I don't feel like taking apart the steering column. Since I'm not gonna do the flasher anytime soon I didn't bother getting any LED turn signals.
EDIT
I couldn't resist and got some LED flashback turn signals for the front and some smoked lenses for the front signals also. I'm already getting an itch to get some Depo headlights and HIDs... the stock sealed beams suck major ass.

Picked up some condor speed door handles, I know some people don't like them, but I do. I also picked up some 5th gen Camaro exhaust manifolds for cheap, gonna set those aside for whenever I start the ls1 swap. Hopefully I can make the manifolds work by having some v-bands welded on them.

Now I just need to find a good deal on some black door cards, I really don't like the grey interior.

[Clintoxx]

Nice find!

[z28]

Haven't had time to get some decent pictures.

To satisfy my ricer needs, I got a double gauged a-pillar thing. Probably not gonna use it any time soon, but when it goes on the car its going to have an oil pressure gauge and a wideband gauge.

The dang turn signals started acting up like 3 days ago, both right and left signals randomly stop working. I think it's the turn signal flasher relay because the signals start working again as soon as I tap the bottom of the steering column cover where the flasher resides. I guess ill just order a new flasher and replace it and see if it fixes it.

Never really cared enough to get a rear euro license plate filler for the e30, but yesterday an opportunity presented itself with a local sale, so I picked it up. Don't get me wrong, I like the look but it was at the bottom of the to do list. Gonna try to tackle the install tomorrow.
