    I love that you're bringing her back to life! You work quickly. I'm happy you've saved her. Give us an update when it's back on the road! That purple power stuff is pretty impressive.

    I am a adamant advocate for Purple Power now. Almost half the price and 4x the amount you get versus the traditional "Engine Degreaser" you buy at Vatozone in the blue/orange can


    AND it works better. $5 for a Gallon jug at Walmart. Yes please!

    She'll be alive an well soon and very soon. She's seen better days, but even better days are to come.

    Between my new found labor sources, parts dealers, and new job, VERY big things are in the e30's forseeable future

    Think it was finally time to get to steppin and start cleaning everything.

    Turned out I smashed my oil-pan, so I pulled a new one from the yards. It's got a small hairline crack, so I sent it off to my weld-guy to get it repaired for about $30; weld and seal.

    I ended up finding an OEM tranny skid-plate/road shield, which I thought was pretty ballin. Dirty, but ballin.




    PURPLE POWER!




    You can KINDA see the crack in the bottom left of the pan at the very "front" of the pan (which is the place it would scrape should the e30 have been dumped: which it was on sme Tokico 5004 that I was thinking about picking up off the car at the yard)




    Tranny shield cleaned up FLAWLESSLY




    Also cleaned up the Lachs hood hinge, picked up some flawless Lachsilber paint match from a local paint supply, and detailed the soon to be new radiator/core support



    Here's the formula for absolutely flawless Lachsilber paint match
