Painted the glass fog light lens Match the original. I got new lenses and they are a pretty close match, just needed silver paint on the side.

Also installed new windshield spray nozzles.

I got it a month or 2 ago. The engine didnt run and the transaxle had a huge hole in it. It runs, drives and mows now. I will be taking it to a meet in August and sell it there. I have 2 more that should clean up as good if not better.

Nice paint correction! I love doing that to single stage that is faded to hell and it looks new when done. I know this is a lawn mower hood BUT its from the mid 1980's and original paint. Had to wet sand and 3 stage buff it.

Started stripping all the stone guard off the bottom of the car

Why? And how? I'm not trying to be a jerk, just curious.

Did an alignment, 1/8th toe in up front, didnt touch the rear (I have adjustable rear toe posi locks welded on). My outer tie rod on the passenger side is bottomed out and the driver side is 1/2 turn from bottoming out. WTF. Also washed, clay bared and waxed the car.

started the journey of replacing all of the fuel hose.

What did you do to your E30 today?

Replaced the front hubs. One of the inner races didn't come off the spindle. Unfortunately it didn't have the groove (replaced by PO 100k miles ago). So nothing for the puller to grab hold on. Tried channel lock pliers as per one of the youtube videos and didn't work. However a pickle fork behind the inner dust shield worked great. Good thing I had ordered new dust shields and caps.

Replaced oil filter housing gaskets and bled the coolant system after doing waterpump and T-belt before work today.

Was a good time. Everything went smoothly

Second try at aux fan resistor. The amazon 100w 0.5 ohm resistor blew my 15 amp fuse. Went te connectivity 100w 0.47ohm resistor from digikeys and higher mounting spot. Also swapped fuse for 30amp one. Hope this one lasts. I ran the AC with the resistor bypassed for a couple weeks. Kept the AC cold in stop and go traffic but the fan was loud.
