      i can be a bit hard on my cars sometimes tho.. figure if somethings going to go on it better sooner than later :p
      that's completely true, when my car's 100% fine I'll drive it harder to see what's going to go next! haha.

            I'll update this before I go on vacation on sunday with a proper photoshoot.
            A small little update though, this was my FAVORITE thing I've done so far to the car.

            Before:



            After:

            Matt B's shift boot set, Black Vinyl comfort seats, a PROPER looking head unit, not those silly flashy ones (as you can kinda tell my HU kinda blends in there). My head unit fits in nicely with the interior theme. Though I did sacrifice losing sport seats to comfort seats, as you can tell, there was absolutely nothing sporty about my sport seats. Total interior "renovation" cost with seats, boots, head unit, carpet and cleanup? $70.

            I'll make a bigger update tomorrow.

                  There's nothing wrong with towing anything that way as long as it's Manual. With an Auto or most AWD's it can really fuck shit up though.
                  OP I'm actually one of the few to love Bronzits and I like where this ones going. I'm liking the black hood on there too. None of my 4 e30's have ever put me through that much pain and suffering but I'm replacing everything ahead of time anyhow :D
                  My e30's - Cirrus, Silver, Black, and Delphin... Next will be a Bronzit lol
                  Lol 14 e30s later..

                    Awesome car and story. I really love the black hood as well, it makes me want a bronzit. I have just plain white. Keep us updated with stuff you fix and pictures! It's a lot of fun to read about people who take neglected cars and fix them up again.

                    i.e. it's a necessary but somewhat unpleasant chore and they want something to make the task a little easier and insulate them from the process."

                      Coming along nicely, i think chrome kidneys would make your car look better. All you need now is plastic bumpers since you already got the late model valances

                          Thanks! Yep its coming along rather nicely, better than I expected really. I hope to make a full update soon, I'm out of the country now. Get a bronzit! I love the color of my car more and more each day!

                          I actually tried chrome kidneys, and it looked very out of place. I think its because my ellipsoids are smoked now, when I get euro smileys ill definately reconsider chrome kidneys. Thanks!

                          Heh I guess we all once were with our first cars. With each problem I learn more and more, and the problems have lessened enough to where I can finally upgrade parts on the car. Thanks!

                            Hey we all do stupid shit... For me?

                            I took my first 87 325e and gave it the VW rattlecan paintjob treatment.... not smart. You live you learn.

                              same shit happened to me. i got my car like two months ago, when i was 17. the day i bought it, i was so f*cking excited i forgot to look at stuff. the motor mount was busted and was jacking up the rack and pinion. it finally broke while i was driving and i went into the curb. if i wouldve looked at the car i wouldve noticed and fixed the motor mounts. so right now im saving up money to buy a new axle and stuff, tryna bring it back to life like you did to yours.
