jakeb at classicdaily did the conversion so I dont have any progress pics. i had him do it because i didnt think I'd find a house this fast. i scheduled the appointment and days later found a house; i couldnt go back on it. it blows super cold though!

Wanted a euro plate filler but couldn't justify dropping over a hundred bucks for one. I had a less than half a can of plastidip laying around and figured, why not? Turned out pretty good!

Lost my drivers side mirror last week... I took this opportunity to do something a little different. I know a lot of people don't like the look of the APR mirrors on e30's, but I love it. I haven't permanently mounted them yet (still waiting on a few things) but here's a mock-up. The bolts and all are just for mock-up, this won't be the final product.





Also, cant wait to get my CAtuned coilovers!!!

Semi-permanent mock-up: Still waiting on 3mm thick CF panels to replace the sheet aluminum ones pictured. They'll allow me to recess the top screw so that it's flush with the panel and not noticeable. Also, in the future I'd like to paint the panel the same as the body color, but I'm going to wait till I repaint the entire car.

Thanks, I got the extinguisher from a local hardware store (its an automotive type, B & C class fires). To mount it I just cut a couple of "L" shape brackets and strategically mounted them to the bottom of the seat frame. I'll get a pic later today.
