          We just had drivers side seat repaired! Not a perfect match, but definitely less of an eyesore.
          Drivers side bolsters and seat recovered.

                We spent some time today working on the E30; Time to finish up the trim!





                As you can see from the pictures below, the dash was pretty sun faded. I had read about using tire dressing to fix the dullness, so we gave her 3 treatments of Mother's Back to Black!

                            Yes, been doing lots of additional work to that car, but my son is too young to help[emoji22]

                              OP it's awesome that you are working on this car with your son, get those mechanical skills instilled in him early!

                                Hey, Thanks! I think the project is progressing nicely. Now that the IS sideskirts are on, and with the H&R Race Springs/Bilstein Sport suspension going on next week. I'd really like to line-up a nice set of 16" wheels & tires. The 14" basketweaves are starting to look a bit too small. Any suggestions?
