Melon's E30 Build.

When replacing the selector shaft seal - don't remove the old one. Just put the new one right over top of the original.

that only works if there is only one in there :)

I only had one, but wanted to clean and inspect the sides of the sealing surface, so out it came, and what a fucking bitch to get out.

Booster gasket installed, used some foam I had.

So, I thought I didn't install the gasket between the master cylinder and the brake booster, turns out I did and it slipped inside the booster somehow, so glad I decided to do this.

It's a bit folly, the grommet for the clutch master cylinder line can leak.

I'll wait and see.

Painted the rear calipers.

Re did the vacuum lines to the charcoal canister.

Waiting on the shop to finish up my rear end.

It's not bad, but if I were to do it again, I'd go with something from Massive Lee.

Finished for the weekend, got the vent window latches in, all grab handles and the washer nozzles on the hood. Skeet skeet!

Please tell me you’re going to wet sand the car. Too much work has been done to leave a finish like that.

[Melon]

I only put two coats of clear on it, and in some places it's a bit thin. I'm considering taking it to a professional detailer and seeing what they think, but I have no false hopes.

This was my first paint job, so lesson learned. Also, this car was always meant to be a driver, it was never meant to be a show queen.

Got some photos from the shop, they had to do some work to get one half shaft out.
