Some new pics...

So I bought this thing back in Feb. It had been sitting for about 2-3 years. I drove it home and realized the shifter bushings were completely shot. I guess bent pennies double as a shifter bushing. So I made it home fine from Beavercreek (like 50 miles) and a few days later it ended up getting stuck between 2 gears and I had to get another trans. I found a trans on a E30 forum, when I received it, it was damaged. I had my freind Kevin repair it and all was good. Put a Z3 short shifter in it and all new bushings and a new clutch. Finally got it on the road after having the car for 3 months without driving it. I then slowly fixed the other little things. I traded the wheels that were on it for some euroweaves with new tires, new muffler, a used tailight. I fixed some dents, buffed the whole car out and waxed it. Scrubbed the carpet and interior. I also put a used CD player in it, with the stock speakers, it sounds awesome, btw. Still needs a few things, but I think it's coming along nicely...



Here is a before pic...





And here it is today...

Would look 1000% better with just a lip on it.

Yeah I know. That's the next thing I need to get. I've been doing things a little at a time as money allows.

Why don't you try a Volvo lip in the mean time? it's better than your sweet ride looking toothless.


Nice car. ;)

what happened to other wheels?

[EDawg]

did you repaint your car?? if not, then how'd you restore the shine on your hood and roof??

[ZinnoE30]

I traded them to a friend for the euroweaves. The wheels were Forgelines, but they were bent, too wide for the front and offset was too high. I just wanted a set of wheels that fit properly and I didn't have to dick with spacers. Euroweaves were the best choice, imo.

Buffed it with some 3M compound. Then waxed it with some stuff from Car-Brite.

He blew a wad on it, had the GF rub it in with her tits. Makes paint shine like you would not believe.

Try it, be the first to post a vid on R3V!

This, applied with a buffer...



And then Car-Brite Easi-Off applied by hand.

On my red car it was pretty bad, so you'll have to keep at it every few months or it will get dull again.

Eff that. The stock I lip looks better than the volvo lip IMO.

Fuck no, post whore.

I think the Vulva lip rocks, and certainly looks better than what he doesn't have.
