Loved looking through all those pics. It's great to see someone who has the time and dedication to record everything he's doing for all of us to see. That suede shift boot looks sick too. Keep up the great work, can't wait to see it when it's finished.

Okay so i did little work with what i had. I dont have the car, and at this point i am getting really tired of that. This week this dude is going to hear it.
I decided to redo my widow trim:

After a lot of sanding


All of them are done: At this point my arms were going crazy due to te vibrating from the sander.


Painted flat black again:

Yellow fogs and high beams:
Karey helping

Almost finished product:

Made a suede steering shift boot. I forgot to take pics of the first few parts.

Puting it around the trim

Mcking it up:


Using a little glue, to get the idea:


All finished: The purple does not match the "M" purple perfect, but not bad for doing it myself. It looks better now. Once the glue fully dried i stuck it better to the trim peice. Now it looks factory


Bought some seats finally.
Since I have no car to test the comfort in Karey is mocking up the e30.




I just picked them up today for $250.00. They are in perfect condition except for these two small holes pictured below. All mechanics work, and they are leather not leatherette.


I think i am going to do the seat backs in suede and the rear deck, If i could find ou how to take it off, the roof liner too.
Sorry for the delay, untill next time...

I will post pics of the final turnouts of these three mini jobs tommorow.

I noticed you painted the rear bottom valence all black:



There is part of it thats supposed to be painted bodycolor like so:



Just hit it real quick, shouldn't be too bad.

LOL, yeah i know. My painter isnt familiar with e30s and wasnt sure what to paint, so he didnt paint them. I primered it black, and i am going to take it back in and he is going to paint the rear valence and the side skirts when we both have time.
