Much better flow now and just in time for a mini e30 meet

Then we got some snow




to which I responded by crafting a spoiler, I rocked it for a week til it slid off.

I also bought a seat frame to fix my seat.



This was the box that held my seat up for the past year and half.

They are Taurus skirts.

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.

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

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
