    I started sanding on the body to identify all the dents. Getting the old girl ready for a new paint job. Saw how the original paint looked under the crappie paint job over it and wow. I have to say, Polaris metallic is gorgeous....... And blinding.

      You dont have to take the whole HVAC out to get to the OBC.... the face plate comes off and it pops right out...

        It's true; you only need to remove the HVAC panel for 13 Button OBC

                If you drive your e30 on stairs, you're gonna have a bad time.

                    Filled the missing bits on both my cars.
                    It's the little things that get me.

                      I installed new center caps on my freshly powder-coated Style-5's.

                      I think it turned out well!

                          I installed a new OEM sunroof crank and new stupid clip on the sunroof's wind deflector.
                          Soo nice now, the crank doesn't dangle and rattle, and I can shut the sunroof without having to open the driver's window and push the wind deflector down.

                            Parts patiently waiting to be installed on the IS. (Rotas may be track wheels. Not sure yet)
