Haha 50 shades of bronzit. I like it!

Also bought some trim paint, and painted the cowl pieces as well as the wiper stalks.

Laugh away at the not so matching wiper fluid sprayers.

Respraying the vent covers cleans up e30s so much. Good work mate.

I need to spray a bunch of parts back to black, and also do the shadowline. Still not sure on what paint to use. I dont want it flaking after a few months..

I'll keep you posted on how well the stuff I used works. I'll be painting the grills too because plasti-dip sucks

Those black pieces work great. I haven't had any issues with that paint flaking... it has been over 1-1/2 years since I painted mine. Works great! So long as you do the prep work.
The muffler position is much better!

^^ It's ridiculously quiet in the car now too. Much more peaceful.

What prep would you recommend for the front grills?

I used trim paint.

Prep not paint.

Fixed the exhaust some more.

Test fit skirts, thinking about including the sponges after the mounting process.

Awesome progress and great work saving the car from the edge of death!

Are you going to paint the sideskirts?

[gome123]

WOW!! your car has come a long way.
Your stereo swap is like the TV car shows. At the beginning it is an old rust bucket then 30 min. later it is a brand new fully restored car.

Thanks!

Haha of course I am. One is blue and the other is green, and that don't really flow with the color scheme goin on here

[ray325e]

85 has come a long way been watching it for a while.
I have a 85 as well soon to pick back up on the project.
Looks great keep it up

If I was staying Bronzit, I would almost copy your car. However, my paint is beyond repair. It was sprayed (read: rattlecanned) with some shade of tan. Not Bronzit by a long shot.

I intend to do the same body kit combination though. Are those IS skirts? I know that's an IS lip, as I have an IS with the same one. It's not on my car though. Winter is coming and I don't have the hardware yet anyways.

I like the progress! Good work.
