Great job, ive had mine a week and only worked about 5 hrs on it, just mostly finding problems. It's looking great keep up the good work and keep us posted.

Also what do you use and do to remove the pinstripe?

[KangamangusDriver]

fuck, does anybody know if there are shift boots just like this that are leather? mine is vinyl, and it has the one seam down the back...i want 2 diagonal seams in the front, like this one

The one in my car is original and made out of leater. No idea where to get a new one of that style.

Car looks great!!!!
Reminds me of mine,tear...

[doucy2]

Well, if you really want to know, my fingernails and a LOT of patience. 5 hours worth in fact. By FAR the worst job I've ever performed on a car....by far...

wow that nuts, i want to take mine off because it is all crappy, will the paint underneath be very fadded?

if anything, the paint will be nicer underneath and faded on either side of where the stripe once was.

Only 6 cylinder cars had trunk tar.

Exception, Euro E30s.


BTW, Nice E30 Nimble.

[TUD]

Nimble, is this what you used?

How does it clean up once it gets dirty. It is more a flat black vs. what the factory was?

What is there to comment on? A couple pictures of your valve cover off doesn't mean much.

Great thanks, are you always such an ass?

[Digitalwave]

It was a question.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing. As for the rear valence, it looks like crap painted black, and more so in that rubberized black. It's just plain wrong.

[trent]

The all black undercoating back looks pretty bad. Does not flow at all.

[euroshark]

That motor looks clean for 170k! Just a little bit cleaner than my 193k M30 looked before I rebuilt that beeyotch. Take care of it!

[mattdk318i]

Mostly M20 guys here. Make sure you seal those spark plug gaskets with some extra sealant. Ive replaced mine twice. Both times with new rings. And they leak oil everytime.
Ive found RTV gasket maker works best.

Go to paintscratch.com for your rear valance paint. You should be able to prep that undercoating to accept some paint. It will look a hell of alot better too.

[Mtriple]

Car looks good, I'm with everyone else on the rear valence.

[Nimble]

Rear valence stays, I ultimately don't care enough what you guys think to change it. Besides, when it's running a 240 rwhp 3.2 M3 motor, it'll be too fast for you guys to see the rear. :rofl:

And to continue on the hater trend, I'm going to get DTM mirrors and leave them black, paint the lower texturized part of the front bumper in texturized black, and maybe even paint the roof black at my stepdad's bodyshop. I can hear the whining already...
