I think you've just inspired me to do red carpet in my black interior once I go cherry red seats. More money to spend on my e30...

CRAP

Car is looking fresh! Keep it up :up:

[8380 Labs]

been really busy with work lately, and we just bought a house as well - so not many interesting project updates. i sandblasted another one of the turbines about a week ago, only 2 left to go before they're ready for paint.

i had some free time in the evening yesterday so i decided to go fiddle around in the driveway a bit. the gas door that was on the car when i got it appears to be slightly bent - like someone tried to force it open when it was locked. it's very slight, but as a result it would never snap shut and stay in a fully closed position, it kind of flopped around.

i had a spare one i got on here awhile ago that i decided to finally install.

took everything out to clean up the area and access the bolts for the gas door.



this will need replaced.



all cleaned up and done. didn't see any rust, which is good. the new door works properly and looks better too!



a couple small spots on my window trim got nicked up last fall, so i decided to touch those up while i was at it.



my hood roundel de-laminated and flew off on the highway recently, so i ordered a new one, along with a new hood release cable (one in there now is stretched out) and some miscellaneous interior clips as well.

'til next time!

[Thizzelle]

Where did you get those adapters from?

[8380 Labs]

Can't wait to see you dial them in!

me either.

i've been looking through my turbine folder for inspiration and i'm leaning towards having the centers sprayed as well, so the whole thing is OEM silver - i like the look when the naked wheels are all one color...

[Mfever]

Are you running the same adapter setup as 8380???

[animal]

o man - i test fitted my turbines for a day -green doesn't look right but one day I'll run them on the e30 in a gray or white.. RUDE! Can't wait to see you dial them in!

Car looks great, looks like a lot of time and effort went Into putting the interior together. Love the new wheel set up, looking forward to seeing it finished.

[8380 Labs]

Looks great! Those adapters look like a great design. Looking forward to seeing it all buttoned up.

thanks man.

Cool! My goal is to be running the exact same setup w. throwing stars

can't go wrong there.

That interior...is perfect!

What size tires will you be running?

thanks, i'm pretty stoked to get it in the car after years of daydreaming ha. i'd like to get as much tire as i can on there, but i'm thinking i may still end up with 205 & 215/40s. if that's the case i'm going to try to find something that runs a little wider.

I very much enjoyed viewing your vehicle.

thanks!
