Nice looking car, staying OEM on this one?

[parkerbink]

Thanks, 99.9% yes. It needs paint and the seats done/replaced.

The back seat is a vinyl abortion. Looks horrible in person.

Fronts are so dried out they take a bottle of conditioner, look ok for 20 minutes & revert to jerky.

I got lucky because between 2013 and 2016 the last two owners did 99.9% of the maintenance items.

Gave her a bath, put on the lip, looking for an is lip.

The back window was replaced by a gorilla.

can i please get the contact info of the guy who replaced that rear window?


your car is looking good!

[parkerbink]

PO misbehavior, if I knew who did it they would be in a world of hurt.

Between not running, the interior and the paint issues that is why it was 1400 bucks.

It's getting better.

Thanks

Hahaha, the car is looking pretty good. Maybe mask and dye/paint the border on the back window. I thought mine looked bad back when I got it, but this one takes the cake. Poor car.

Well, it looks miles better than when you started so in time that destroyed anus looking back window should be taken care of too.

It's a shame. It is a BMW top. I am looking into a solution. I have a line on a pair of good condition tan seats and have found dye for them, I hope I may be able to dye the mess that is on the material although that won't help the area into the window.

Bulbs 4 fogs came

Kenwood I had in my '90 is now in my '92.


IS lip on, ordering splitter sooon

to fix the rear window for the time being, here is what i would do:

get blue painter's tape(or green). do a good job masking the edge of the top and about 3/8" inside the rear window. go buy some black silicone in a full size caulk tube with a caulk gun. put a slightly thicker bead all the way around and over the top of that shitty clear job. smooth the bead down with your finger and get the tape off before the sealant cures. you will have to work fast with the silicone. because once it starts curing, it will be a mess. this is how i do a pretty professional job of caulking in bathrooms of the renovations i sometimes do.

Looking good man, awesome progress.


You're driving me nuts with that CCA badge placement though. ;)

[parkerbink]

Thanks, you want it on the other side?

I don't want to be responsible for your loss of peace.
