    Battery kept dying and we diagnosed a bad alternator. Went down to my friend and got some little thing that touches the brushes that I forget what it's called. Shitz whack yo. And I have a surprise coming this spring.

        **UPDATE**

        Put my new interior in which is oh so mint, (besides the rear seat having to get dyed.)
        Pulled my steering column to get a new steering spindle, (mine was stripped,) so I can put my re-wrapped airbag wheel on.
        The driver seat is just as mint as the passenger

        Note: The duct tape on the E36 console is there just to test fit it. Going to dremel the back piece so it matches the tunnel and I will mount it properly. Pics will come once everything is in.

        That is also a dyed carpet :)

          The carpet

          Before:


          After (don't have both but you get the idea):


          What I used to clean up and rub in the dye, (3.99 at Kragen)


          Soon to come: E36 window switches, and hopefully bodywork.

            **UPDATE**

            Bought a sub and amp and wired them in. Sounds awesome. Never had a subwoofer in my life. Ordered a new steering spline because the one they sent me was the wrong one. Now I have to wait another week to get the right one, but I'll finally be back on the road again.

            I still need to get some door sills that hold the carpet down, new door gasket, re-do my back seat, and some other miscellaneous things. Can't wait to finally drive it again.

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

                  **UPDATE**

                  Just bought my springs (Lowtec 60/35mm) and shocks (KYB's.) Can't wait for them to get here for me to put those fuckers on. I'm going to need a hand, so if any North Bay dudes want to give me a hand, I'd appreciate it. Will be buying an iS lip soon, splitters, euro trim, and then I hopefully am getting bodywork and resprayed. This summer looks good, but I need to land a job now. SHEEEEEEEIT.

                    **UPDATE**

                    Fixed my busted low beam and some other miscellaneous things yesterday. Also gave her a nice bath. On a second note, I got a job at a local German auto shop helping out and stuff. Things should be put on quick now that I have access to many tools.

                        Pretty self explanatory. Was going to do a DIY, but I'm laaaaazy.

                            Thanks Jean! I know it's still holding up too. I'm hoping to get my suspension on soon and get some body work, but school is so time consuming! ARGH

                                your thread seriously just made me want to keep my e30 and project it even more.
