E30 Progress

[iamsam]

enjoying the renovation. i can really appreciate the work, especially after someone has gone to great lengths to do so much bad.
any luck with the interior? have you tried steam cleaning?
what about rust issues, saw some on the rear valance- which i guess might be addressed anyways because of the exhaust 'mod' of the previous owner-

anyhow, good work and keep taking more pics of the progress-

Thanks for the kind words!

I did get "new" seats, haven't gotten around to taking pics of those yet, they are MINT black vinyl comfort seats from an '84 318i
Eventually i'll get new carpet, and the rust i have no idea what to do yet, i am going to wait for the warm weather to start doing body work. the rear valences aren't replaceable are they?

Ya dude H&R races are awesome. I have them in my trunk that were given to me and if I decided I want it to look lower I am going to wait to see how I like these eibachs. Post pics when you put the races on so I can see how try look. Ya rotas are pretty cheap. Look online I think you can find them for like 140 a piece. Ya I wish I had gotten 16 or 17's rather then 15's. And I want 225's on it to make it look meaty. We will see.
Once you sand it you can just spray paint the wing really nice

it will be a while until i get suspension, i am a poor college student, but if i sell my M50 engine, i will be able to do suspension.

It makes it super annoying for the rest of us to have to scroll through them again.

that looks a lot better now...

just clean those seats and you got some nice houndstooth...

yeah i will have to do some research on how to clean those seats, i tried with carpet cleaner and it did nothing. Maybe a steam cleaner of some kind.

Dude that's the same set up I was going to have on my suspension but I got eibach sports for now because I got them for free but I might put some H&R races on there to lower it more.

And as for the interior do a black tan combo I saw someone else on this forum with it and it looks amazing

Yeah i actually have recently decided to go with H&R Race rather than Sport for a more aggressive drop. When i do eventually start looking for an interior, it will definitely either be tan, black, or both.

Soo clean! Ya just get a basic a magnaflow muffler, paint the is spoiler on the trunkand get that rear bumper fixed and painted but that is such a nice find man. Oh and add some clean wheels to it like rota's or weaves

The wing is definitely going to bug me until i get that painted, that is next on the agenda. i just need to find an electric sander to borrow. My primary wheel choice is 16x7.5 Borbet type T, although Rotas would look good for the right price, as well as some Ronal, or BBS or Konig weaves.

Why did you quote all those photos?

Why does it matter if I quoted all of them?
Plus im on my iPhone and didn't want to take the time to change it
