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

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!

Are you going to paint the sideskirts?

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

I used trim paint.

Prep not paint.

Fixed the exhaust some more.

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

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

What prep would you recommend for the front grills?

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!

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

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

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.

Haha 50 shades of bronzit. I like it!

Test fit









Yay!
The rear did come off a vert, so I had to make some brackets to secure the apron the valence on my car. They don't look awesome, but I'm happy with it

Also I have to extend my exhaust to make it show through the apron... That's next.
I need sideskirts

Great build. Keep on grinding away on her. I like that you are getting everything situated on the car before doing any major upgrades.
