    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.

                Back on the road again. Enjoy my monster truck ride height.

                  **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.

                        For the sake of updates

                        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
