I been still working on the blk e30. I been waiting on some parts to come in to go back to it. I just did the quarter panel and finished with roof. On the roof there is three small areas I need to address.

I like the top right one. Are you making any more?

Thanks! Not making any more, but I did post a DIY if you want to give it a shot:

This weekend I got side tracked on my black s38.
i was only going to wash and buff paint. I found a lot of grit on paint on top hood. I started to wet sand paint.

Wow, so they are an original set! That is very cool.

Thanks, unfortunately broke one when I was rear ended. I bought a set of rerun Startecs but they are too dark for my preference.

Top right one I made, bottom right is reproduction / new run Startec.

I bought the startecs 9 years ago new in the box from a friend that put on them on his m3 for few days on them.
I seen the ones you built for your e30. They looked good.

I was able to get OZ bolts chromed at a shop not to far. He changed me for 100 bolts chrome for $120. They look better in the sun. I ordered factory euro straps for euro covers on bumpers. I was playing with painting the Toyo Proxes RA1. My neighbor gave big thumbs up. I’m still looking for short block on a s38 b36. Vac Motorsports is making new kits for bmw motors. I want to buy 900 series for $4300. It is able to go up to 1000hp. I don’t need that many power. I will be happy with 500-600hp.

I test fitted my tail lights. I was able to buy five hood pins connected to latches.

I sold my PPF V band turbo manifold. I started to paint semi black gloss. This week I will wet sand my mirrors.

I forgot I had to paint my mirrors on the red Barron. I was planning to paint the originals. They were in bad mechanical condition. I had an other spare set off a red vert I bought a couple of years ago. Tomorrows I will spray 2K clear on them tomorrow.
I also had a part chromed to see if I liked it. Not sure how I like it yet.
