I will be selling my MINT card sport seat soon. If you would like first take me me know. Your seats are sad and you have been doing outstanding work. I don't see you living with that shit!
Good job man over all =)
FYI, "track" cars don't have bumpin' beats ;)

Well put some more of the interior in. Rear carpet, right rear interior panel, & tidied up the HVAC area. Also looked back on the first page of the thread & saw how bad it looked when I first got it almost a year ago. At least it looks a little better:p

Hahaha, thanks guys. Well I've gotten some more work done on it lately. Got the carpet back in, as well as the front door panels & dash. Now I'm trying to get everything working in the dash again:p It's really cool to see it look like a regular car on the inside again.
Also installed some of this stuff a few weeks ago...
Then it went into the car:D
That was a very fun experience. Thank god for Luke. I wouldn't have been able to do any of that without his help & unbeatable expertice. It sounds FANTASTIC & I would have to reccomend getting a Luke box if you are thinking of installing a sub-woofer into your e30. It sounds crazy inside the cabin, and when you put your head in the trunk you can barely hear anything. Basically 100% of the bass is channeled into the cabin.
Ill have to get some pics of the interior later, doesnt look too bad

The trunk was painted this weekend! Boy did that one suck. Took forever to get it ready to paint:hitler: Basically just wire wheeled & grinded everything down. Got rid of all the car residue, & then roughed up with some sandpaper. That got me to this point
Then I painted & ended up with this
Much better looking than before!
Now I need to go and get some more activator for the primer so I can paint the rear clip of the car & finish welding up the rear quarter and rocker panel! So much to do and schools coming up quick:weak:Leave a comment:

Here's some pictures of recent progress
Learning how to weld & patch my holes:
Prepping the passenger rear quarter for paint
Primering it
This one is kinda cool in my opinion because it kinda shows the progress.
Primering-->Painting-->Original paint
And then a day or two later the roof was primered as well
That's all for now folks:finger:Leave a comment:

So I had to end up driving the car to John's shop a few days ago, and after reassembling all the essentials, it wont start. Dang thing won't even turn over. Great. And its nearing 12am and I have to be there the next morning:yawn: I fairly quickly deduce that the starter is the problem, seeing as everything else is functioning well for the most part:p Well, lets start burning the midnight oil!
Those pictures above are of me "rebuilding" the starter. All I really had to do was take it apart & give it a good cleaning, knock a bunch of what looked like grafite powder out of it, and I was good to go! This was around 2:15am-ish. It took me a while because I only had a handful of tools that were either broken, or I didnt need them
Then after testing it with a battery charger and making sure it worked, I put it back in the car.
The next morning, I go to leave and remember, "I dont have any turn signals!" Well, good thing I saved my diving boards:o
Masking taped on there for good measure, I was ready to head out to the shop. Got a lot of stuff accomplished there. I learned the correct ways to weld, and how to fill all my holes for one:D Also had a quick tune burned for me to get my car home safely. It wouldn't seem to hold an idle, but Ben & John worked their magic and managed to make the car run without having to pump on the gas.
Fastforward a few days and we come to yesterday. My older sister helped me remove all the tar in my trunk and it was a huge help! Here are some after pictures seeing as I didn't take any before:p
Here's all the nasty old tar
Also punched out the ski panel in preparation for the luke box

Well, the US ellips have arrived! Kingston is a great seller! Good prices & fast shipping, if you need anything from him, do not hesitate!!
Well, enough of the small talk, lets get onto the pictures:D Amazing packaging, there was no possible way that these things could've been damaged at all during shipping!
Heres a shot of the lights, virtually zero pitting:p
And a backside shot for the heck of it.
Can't wait to wire these babies up! They'll have to go on the vert for now though until the coupe is driveable8)Leave a comment:

Well, here's a rather momentous update guys
I arrive home sometime last week to find this package sitting on my doorstep. What ever could it be:nice:
Now, this guy was pretty big, and the box was a bit of a stickler to open
Yet another box you say?
Now this is getting a little ridiculous:giggle:
Seems like it has finally been unmasked! Now this thing is HUGE
That magnet weighs a ton!
But what is the fun in getting one box when you can get two? This "little" guy arrived a few hours ago. Wonder what it could be this time...what goes with a sub-woofer...
What could these strange markings mean
Ingenious packing system. Allows a very snug fit all the way around. Nice job Luke;)
OH, so thats what was in the box
A Luke Box also comes with a piece of carpet material and a template. I think that this is the "pretty panel". It is a perfect match to the e30 trunk carpet!
Here is the "pretty panel" laid out next to the box
Then the template
And a close up to show that it isnt just a piece of cardboard(my camera sucks)
And here's a picture of the mock up
Words cannot express what a great seller Luke is. He is also one of the best sound guys in the business. Thanks again Luke!
Also I have a picture of that painted trunk from before. I didn't completely forget;)
And a picture of a little set back

Yup, that sounds about right. I just wet the grass and driveway down. And move the cars so there is no chance of overspray on them. I usually seem to paint when the neighbors aren't home, but when they are I won't spray if the kids are outside or if they are doing anything close to me. I do my best to stay on their good side:) Most of them seem to like me painting actually. They always come by & talk to me about it and how far it's coming along. And some are pretty amazed that I'm only 17. It's a good way to need people :p
Got the PM and replied! Thanks againLeave a comment:

Hey, man, I sent you a PM yesterday. R3v's been down a fair bit today so I don't know if you'd seen it yet. Please PM me your address so I can send the lights to you. Danke!Leave a comment:

So... are you just shooting everything as it sits? No plastic, covering, humidity control etc? Just trying to figure out how I am going to do mine in Virginia.... Where 1/2 a garage with no basement is apparently a 'garage'. Couldn't even fit the car in there let alone put up plastic and work around it. Neighbors don't care?Leave a comment:
