      Changed plugs and looked at my summer rims and tires, and got all misty.

      I met your mom.

        what did you guys use to scrape your valve cover?

        i used a combo of a paint scraper and sand paper and it came out alright. but it definitely could have been better.

          Setup a meeting with some guy to buy tan cloth full sport interior (oem from 325es). Hopefully he pulls through.

          Non-e30 relative - finished painting my front cbr rim / clean rotors and polished nuts.

          Awaiting red pinstripe.

              I just used sandpaper and it turned out pretty good.

                I'd recommend a gasket scraper. Don't want any loose sand from the sand paper getting into the VC. Unless of course you want to port and polish.

                  I put it out, because it was on fire.

                      I hit a nasty pothole with my wheels turned apparently!
                      We all know what that means on an 87.

                        Return line on the fuel rail seemed to have dry rotted just past the nipple on the rail, causing it to dump fuel on the engine. I don't really know where the spark came from, being as that's all on the intake side of the motor... Jay (lordofmpower) and I figured it must have caused a spark on something electrical, maybe the alternator.

                        Replaced both hoses with some fresh injector hose and clamps, no more leaks, drove it for about 20-30 minutes to get things nice and warm, no fuel smell or anything.
