    As of right now, I am pretty much just driving the car. I went back to diving boards on the front, and tucked. Not too many new items bought. I went and completely fixed my Air conditioning so that put a pretty big dent in my money for modding, but we will see.


    I recently picked up something 9" wide and 2 piece though, and I am playing with the idea of putting them on the e30.

      oh, I also put some harder motor mounts in, mine were so soft. I changed the muffler because it rusted off for some cheap ebay dtm style muffler. Really loud, but it was cheap. This winter break I will find another solution

          Those would look SO sick on your car, assuming the proportions of your p-chop is direct your car is already perfect height.

            well, I decided to restore the gotti's, regardless if they are not put on the e30. I am sitting at about 60%, but when I am done restoring I am betting I can't resist.


            Popped the pieces apart



            tested with 2000 wet and polish. Not bad. I think I will need to go down to 1500 or 1000 for a perfect finish.

            As for the centers, I am heading to the store to get some air craft paint remover. I am thinking gold PC. Bolts are off to get tumbled.

            School is starting up again, so small updates will be the norm. Thanks

                planning on getting drop hats and 60mm springs in the rear. Will drop the front 10mm and rear 20mm, or I can wait and get some GC's


                I pretty much finished sanding one of the rims, I am waiting on the compound to arive in the mail. They are stunning.

                  Lots of nice work. You have inspired me to paint my bumpers. Already ordered the paints. Ive been sleeping on repairing my car.

                  Keep it up man.

                    I LOVE YOUR CAR! You are doing a great job man I love this thing. So clean. Good job on the paint correction too. I did the same thing on my AW car and it really made it look good. Funny what a little elbow grease will do

                      Looks like some good stuff here! I wouldn't have tinted or painted the bottle caps (personally) but it's really clean

                        Bottle caps being painted was a temp. situation. After I wear through the tires, they will be sold. As for the tint, I live in Arizona where 120 degree summers are norm with 160 inside car temps.

                        Haha thanks. It is a work in progress. I will have my other car paid off next month. That will be an extra $250/month I can spend on the e30. Big changes will happen soon.





                        Gotti's are cleaned up. I am going to do polished faces with black inlets on the centers. I don't have a pic of the progress on that, but I will in by next week

                            this is my plan forthe centers. They are still at 400 grit, but I am going to get them mirror.

                              That looks badass. I did something similar on my 280z wheels
