          Nope, it's as low as it is going...any lower and ride quality suffers too much for my daily use.

              These are my absolute favorite kind of threads. Great work! I love watching it all happen and seeing the finished product.

                    I'm glad people like you still buy and restore e30s. Its truly a testament to how great a car these are. And td325ic is the MAN seriously. I'd do business with him in a heartbeat.

                      I kinda thought you would appreciate it, being as you have been thru some of this same process with your car! A lot of people don't understand or realize the amount of time, effort, and money it takes to do something like this...it's not something that I am truly eager to do again.

                        Agreed, I don't have the desire to do a project of that magnitude again on an E30. I had fun doing it, and the "end" result is great, but this car is here to stay. If anything every happens to it, I'll probably be on to something else like an E30 M3 or something.

                        I'm glad to see what you did with the M-Tech II rep rear valance too, I've been looking at getting that same piece.

                              Hello all. I'm the previous owner. I have been floored to see what Eric has done with the car. It looks far better than I could have imagined. This whole process has made me all nostalgic for my Bimmer, but I'm glad that I sold it to someone than appreciates a good e30 and not some guy that would treat it like a beater.

                              I may just see if I can buy it back when/if I move back to the states. Hopefully I will have enough scratch by then to make him an offer he can't refuse.

                                LOL you know better than that...I don't have front seats yet, but I have a line on some. Now a rear seat I do have...still have to clean the interior up before I put it in.
