thanks man, send me a link to get sound deadening. i need some bad lol

its not cheap but i used the Raam audio extreme stuff or whatever their good stuff is. As well as some of their cheaper stuff/.. I was ready to spend 250 on it but i emailed the owner and told him my goals and he said I was overbuying and told me what i needed to accomplish my goals. I had read good things about him doing research and everything they said was true. Hes very big on customer service and a really nice guy I really liked the way the stuff went down but wear some gloves. Holy shit my hands are cut to shit from the aluminum. They are like paper cuts too

Is that stuff heavy?

yeah I figure i added maybe 60 lbs?? Right in there. Im not concerned about weight in this car though. Its pretty light as a 318 to begin with and Ill just turn the boost up

So I started soundproofing it today. Super duper stopped over and donated 2 rolls of sound deadening he didnt need which was awesome because i used it all. I bought about 100 sq feet of RAAm audio stuff and 5 yards of ensolite. I did every sq inch and most places 2 layers.
Im thinking it should make a nice difference. I still need fiberfill for the rear panels. ill get that tomorrow

hehe glad to chip in and put some cash in your pocket so you can keep stuff like this going. Once I get all the mechanicals worked out I also need to yank my interior and paint the carpet. why cant winter break get here already.

I'll have an undetermined day off next week, or I can swing up a couple of nights and work on it. We shall figure something out.

As long as everything that you don't want dusty is covered we should be fine. The worst is usually just a ring right around the car. Really it depends on how aggressive the compounding gets. From pics though it doesn't look too bad. It would be ideal if the trim came off if its not too much work, otherwise we can tape it all up.

Ill pull the trim and bumpers. I rubbed out the shadowline and it looks good. I can tape that up for you. Whats your schedule like?

Thanks dude much appreciated. Funny you say that about the color. Ive had a red e30 so this wasnt my first chice. But clean and rust free wins out over color everytime

Yeah, my first e30 was a Cinna-Red '88 IS. I kicked myself so hard after parting with it and it's likely I'm still trying to get the damn thing back. I see a red e30 and all I think is, "Damnit".

That thing is terribly rust free. I've only seen one other that looked that clean once the carpet was pulled and the fucking thing had 88xxx original miles. Blew my mind.

That paint looks pretty good. I'd bet a quality buff/polish job would get it where you want.

its beat down. It looks great from 10feet. i think it has potential though. i dont want it too nice so i cant enjoy it
