        Really been working on my 2002tii for the past week. Removed most of the floors, part of the rear quarter and driver side door sill. Everything is welded back in so i can focus on the vert again.

        I'm starting to lose hope in the double din setup though, I have everything trimmed down but the HVAC doesn't fit to my satisfaction with a LHD car. RHD this would work ok, so if i don't move forward with it all you RHD guys hit me up for a double din application lol.

          My trunk is almost complete. Layer of 1/4" foam followed by a top layer of vinyl. Hard lines are 90% done just need to be polished.

              did you delete the third brake light? I thought I read that you "shaved" it.
              I deleted my 3rd brake light and went to MoBrighta to add bulbs in the sockets intended for rear fog lights...
              You are doing awesome work! Were I local, I would be over watching you daily!
              Any new pictures? PLEASE
              cerium oxide can be purchased online, you will need a good drill and a few pads.

                  Great work so far. Not sure if this has been mentioned already, but any reason why you did not put new seam sealer in the engine bay? Have heard stories of seams splitting when its removed entirely over time on e30s.

                    Thank you.I wouldn't say i removed 100% of it, still left some deep in the seam. E30s have an outrageous amount in the engine bay and i wanted a clean look. Its main purpose is to lock out moisture when 2 panels are joined together so if you've seen a seam split i'd look at the welds.

                      Doors, fenders, and bumpers are mounted/aligned. Skirts are on but don't have any hardware yet. Everything is looking pretty good so far just need to adjust a few things.

                            I just went through this build again looking to see if you mentioned the wheels you plan on running. I didn't see any mention so, what wheels are you planning to run? Style 21s would look awesome. Do you have a build thread for the E10?

                                I have a set of style 5's i'm refinishing and i have a set of autostrada modena faces that i'll probably build but i'm not sure what wheels i'll put on the car. Would like to get a set of ACS type 1's and i've always liked the way futuars looked on m3s so...

                                I don't have a build thread but its just about ready for primer.
