My e30 Project... Mtech II sedan, Jlines, Vaders, M50 and much more...

[motorsports_3]

I got a little bit of work done today. I just got the rear window locked in and the gasket cleaned. The car is now fult driveable. I dont have to worry about the windows flying out or the doors not locking.
Window coming out

Seal.

I cleaned the seal out and it has no overspray on it now
Window back in

Seal on


All done

This car has come a long way...nicely done...did you get the central locking squared away? My issue was related to the driver's door actuator going bad.

Thank you.

Yeah, it was the CLS thinking the drivers door was open. There is a wire harness behind the speaker, the main one thst goes into the door. Inside of that I had a little mini harness disconected

damn man nice to see your dedicated to make it a nice car.

I have been busy with school so I have been doing a little bit here and there. Hence the reason for not too many updates.

Here is stuff I have done inthe past week or so.

You may have noticed, but the side skirts were droopy. I finally installed the clips i have had forever. lol



I painted behind the grille black, to hide any overspray


I cleaned the windshield gasket, and applied the lock. This has to be the most annoying thing i have done on the car yet





How the hell did you get up there??? She was watching me


Removing the backseat to asses the fuel light problem. I think I have got it


All done


Looking for the problem with the central locking system

To get to the components. The drivers door stripped

All the parts I removed


All done


While I had the door apart I took the lierty to add these covers under the mirrors


The back drivers side door would not lock, so I changed the locking actuator

All done


The back passenger door handle was broken so I swapped that out


All done


I tore the trunk apart looking for the problem with the locking system.


All clean. Yes i know I need a new carpet, lol

4d hottnessss. i want. good work man. GOOD WORK!

Thank you

Hooray, the wheels are on! Nice job man. Looks great! Congrats.

Yeah, its about time. Thank you.

nice car but i would keep the black trim.

Which black trim? One the doors? They got replaced with the m tech kit.

As far as getting shine out of the dashboard, door cards, & center console...instead of using something like Armor All or any shine/cleaning products, use Olive Oil.

The Vitamin D in olive oil makes the plastic clean & restores the shine without it being obnoxiously shiny or greasy. If you rub it enough evenly throughout all surfaces, it'll look naturally clean. I regularly clean the dash on my car with olive oil & I also don't have any cracks, especially in the hot TX sun.

Thank you for the info. I will be doing that asap.

Damn not bad for a kook! j/k man, great job. That is quite the project you have engulfed on.

Haha, thanks bro

fack me... this is unbelievable!


I want to do the same with mine!

Well I got the car cleaned up for te most part today. I missed a few parts in the interior, and some wax in crevices, because I lost my cleaning brushes some where in my clean garage. I also need to bring the shine out of the dash board.
I need to do something about those seat backs. I may wrap them in vinyl.



Look at the dirty interior


Seats removed


Vacuumed

Panels cleaning


Done





I need to fix the OBC, find a few small interior parts, clean the windshield and rear window gaskets, and lock them in. I also need to clean the engine bay and clear coat the tails. Then the ICE.

I also washed the outside and took some practice photos with my new SLR. This was a quick impromtu photoshoot. There is still some more work to do before the final shoot.




















I also tried some rolling shots, but I had the shutter speed too quick, so you cant really tell.












Let me know which ones you guys like...

[motorsports_3]
