You clearly don't want to sell this car.. I wouldn't either

[jd_e30]

Well, I decided today to officially put the car back up for sale. I thought I could make it work and I just can't. If you know anyone interested, please send them my way! FS: 1990 325i http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=323398


Also, today I threw on a new valve cover PCV hose and *another* new brake switch. Both genuine bmw parts

Cheers

We both detail on the side. Anything 20 years old has to be approached very cautiously. Let's sync up so we can take a look. Also not sure about forum rules regarding this conversation since I am not a vendor....

Planning on it. Yourself?

Most certainly. Never been to one up there, only seen pictures. It looks pretty good.

I had my good friend Mook from surf city garage complete a full paint correction on the e30 today. It turned out amazing, but along the way he measured paint thickness and found some very thin areas. It looks as though this was a cheap/quick acrylic clear coat job. He warned me of the thin spots but I told him to proceed anyways. He was right, and a few spots got a little close for comfort, but the outcome was stellar. At this point, the paint is as close to perfect as we can get it without burning through the clear coat.


The results were amazing but the complete paint job starts this week. I will be doing all of the prep work and having it sprayed (possibly with Schwartz metallic) and a 15 year DuPont clear. Many pics of that process to come.

In the meantime, here are the results from today. I will let Mook chime in with the exact process and products used (and better pictures, I am sure) :)


Wife spraying it off beforehand
