    Before and after. Or, pre-fest pics in case I don't go

    I just got home from driving my cabrio and decided to snap a few pics of it as it sits now. I've been working on it on and off for the last month or so and am getting it closer to what I want.

    New itemz: Alpine w/iPod, MTech 2 365mm, plastics, Lamin-x (clear headlights, smoked fogs), Bosal exhaust (getting swapped with a Stromung before 'fest), an ultimatecupholder.com cup holder, black OEM cabrio-specific floormats, and probably some other stuff.

    I'll throw up some before pics too, and some shots of my new E21 (thanks Kellie!)

    As always, let me know what you think.

    Tim

    PS The Racing Dynamics front lip and fogs setup is for sale. PM me if you're interested and I'll get some good shots of it for you.





































    Some interior shots:

      Nah, I'm just going to flip it on eBay so I don't care if it's running or not.










      Just kidding Kellie! :) I didn't have much chance to work on it this weekend. I'm guessing it has a bad ground or ignition switch since it won't even turn the starter. I jumpered from the solenoid hot side directly to the starter and it spun, but didn't engage the flywheel. Not sure what that means.

        Nice work. The plastics look awesome. I don't have a hangup about it needing a rear valance like most, just clean up everything below the rear bumper and go with a shorter muffler tucked up and in as much as possible.

        Keep me in mind if you want to sell you remembers.

                    Chrome kidneys would set it up even more so bro. Looks sweet as fuck with the plastics though.

                              looks great!

                              Graft a facelift lower rear valence on the cabrio and it will look perfect.
