It's funny, I keep trying to sell the sedans but everyone wants the iS. Unfortunately the $$ it'd take for me to let it go I'm not sure it'd be worth to a buyer.

That's a solid deal! My buddy here has one for me, I'll snag it from him once he gets his iS lip on.

You never know my friend...
It’s very hard to find a well clean e30 now a days. Unmolested, rust free, with tasteful mods

The holidays were good to Linda.

She got a 370mm Mtech 1 Wheel (been looking forever, Stitched is recovering), an old wood mushroom knob, a factory E30 option Mtech 1 spoiler (been looking forever), and decided to install the heckblende indefinitely. Once I do shadowline, she'll be exactly where I want her to be exterior-wise.

Should look very nice installed. Post pics once finished.

I certainly will! I'm excited for the next season of Linda, she's got a bright future ahead of her.

So, I ended up selling the 370mm MTech 1 I purchased with no leather because I found one with original leather, which is what I wanted all along. It looked pretty beat in the pictures, but it appeared to have good bones so I pulled the trigger.

After spending more time than I care to admit with some leather conditioner, I'm thrilled with how it came out.

That turned out great, I'd say definitely worth the time/effort!

Thanks! I was thrilled to find a 370mm with original leather I took the chance, and it certainly played out in my favor after a little elbow grease.

Are you going to install that cylinder head/cam combo soon? I'm still itching to see the dyno.

Depending on how long you can wait, once I get my Mtech II kit painted and installed I will be selling my IS lip.
