Those tails do look really good on the weiss!

[Wishno87]

smoked tails. . .

I got my Groupie Tails yesterday, and ordered an early model US plate filler from the dealership. The quality on the tail lights are excellent! Curt you have mad skills. Thanks!





Somebody sell me fog light blanks

[Wishno87]

Small bit of progress.

Front valence sandblasted with some bondo to smooth out the part under the foglight. Pretty much ready for primer



Got the top dent on the bumper cover mostly out. Still needs a little massaging though. Any tips on how to do this? Heat-gun then leaf blower seems to work for heating then cooling.



After the many layers of old cracked paint were sanded off only a small amount of bondo was needed to make it perfect.

Recreation=very little progress... (DBs still firmly attached)



but IS lip came yesterday while i was gone and came with a bonus kitteh



Going to E30Groupies house tomorrow to drop off tails for smoking then hopefully finishing up front bumper core. Anyone have one local they just want to sell me? may not be worth the trouble fixing this one.

We have those all over, it looking good on U.s. cars

Small update of little progress

Straightened the front bumper core and now needs to be reinforced and smoothed out.




Great day in the PNW for a drive:p



Finally painted the rubber/foam part of the mtech 1.

[backtrail69]

Yep, I just bolted it to the bottom of the bumper.

[Wishno87]

The best you can do is heat it with a heat gun and push it out and use a flexible filler to finish it off.

Ya I think thats what im going to have to end up doing. How did you mount your tech 2 rear apron? Did you just bolt it to the bumper cover?

Anyone have any ideas on how to take dents out of plastic bumpers?

[Wishno87]

Few more of the parts ive accumulated.

Any ideas on how to take this dent out? I was thinking heat gun and clamps with wood?





Front valence ready to be sandblasted,



And smoothed out a little with bondo



The heavily cluttered shop

[Wishno87]

did you pick up the SEM goods so you can paint it right?

No i havent gotten back that direction yet. How much do you think it would be just for the paint for the spoiler?
