Hey now. I'm not the one with a bare-chested poster of Mark Martin hanging over my bed.

No but for some reason you know what's in his bedroom. Tell us was the picture upside down or straight on when you saw it(trying to figure out giver vs taker)

Of course. I asked his sister, with whom he shares a bunk bed.

[Farbin Kaiber]

She is also his sister? I coulda swore she was his SO... I guess it's both.

Ya know what they say in Kansas City.

Can't keep it in the pants? Keep it in the family. Yuk yuk <-- hick laugh.

WEll, like a dumbass, we forgot to take final interior pics, but i'm sure Buddy will get some posted once he arives in OK.

I managed to get aa bit on the outer door skin, then covered the whole door panel.






Going back together. Unfortunately, this is the last pic i have of the interior.


Everything came together quite nicely. Swapped in a new timing chain tensioner this morning before he hit the road. Safe travels Buddy!

So stoked man, I can't wait to see the final interior pics, that setup looks killer I bet.

Nice work guys. Do the poly subframe and ta bushings really make a significant noise increase in the cabin? What brand bushings did you use? Going to install them in my car in the spring and very interested in the sound deadening decisions--in what areas exactly did you use each of the two different brands?

Oh, and waiting for pics of the geetar airbrushed on the hood...

Looks very nice...In fact, my car has about the same level of mods, and it is a dd as well. Works great, and gets great mileage, but I've been considering the sound deadening as well.

And that really is one hella clean e30...

There is a bit of noticeable hum from the back, but only on the highway above 70mph, and even then it's not too bad. Not noticeable if you have the stereo on.

Are you referring to experience with another car w/o the added deadening or your car?

Yes, my swap car did not have any extra sound deadening, and had the trunk tar and interior sound deadening removed when I got it finished. Also drove it around for 9 months with all the factory stuff in.

Thanks. Hoping to see some pics of the finished product soon.
