[5Toes]

What color is that front fender? Original metallic shwartz or what?

[the spyder]

Ok,
Stereo installed.
Exhaust leak mostly fixed
Muffler hung + painted, haha.
Found out I need new tie rods, ends, and LCA bushings.

Still need to do tons.
Remove seats + clean carpets.
Repair + dye seats
Find stereo trim piece
Install new shift boot
Install new shift knob
Get windows tinted
Replace oil pain.
Get new hood strut
Get new antenna ( mine is aftermarket/leaks...)
Have dents popped + touched up.
Fender/hood/ door painted
Finish trim painting
Fix fog lights + rig to run with running lights
Double check all the bolts.
Bleed clutch + brakes
Secure sub+ carpet box.

Wow, this still has a ton of work to be done....

Decided to try something, let me know what you think. All the window/door trim will be done later in the week.

Can the blower motor parts be sourced locally?

Wipers are slow on allll speeds.

Took it for a test drive today, steering wheel shakes a bit :-\.

Hay look, my car is in the first photo! :)

Its remarkable how good the paint looks, minus all the little problem areas (24yrs of rock chips, door dings, etc). It really shines in person, I'm impressed and curious as to what my e30 will look like once it gets cut/buffed! But man that looked like a lot of work. Solid 2-3hr easily. And I'm sure my grinding next to the car didn't help matters ;)

Blower motor is likely the resistor which takes about 30-40min to replace maybe. Its easy. Exhaust gasket/hanger we shall do this week. And do the wipers work OK when the motor is on, or are they always slow? I forget.

lovin the different colored fender. ive been rolling with a black fender on my bronzit since i bought it

[the spyder]

Worked on it today-
Finally installed the new fender.

I painted the grills/mirrors/wipers, tucked the bumpers, tuned it up, and changed the oil. Drives great around the block. Title will be here in 30 days.
I cut and buffed the entire car tonight.

List of things to fix:
Paint door/fender/hood.
Install stereo
Fix o2 sensor wiring
Replace blown exhaust gasket
Fix windshield wipers (goes very slow?)
Fix blower motor- only work on highest setting
Install glove box correctly
Fix exhaust hanger
Finish painting trim

In the future:
Get new tires!
New oil pan (have)
New head lights
And springs!

Its going to make a great daily driver/beater for when the FD is down for modification, my e30 serves the same purpose very well for my e36.

Going for the H+R kit if I can find a used one. Its getting stock wheels for now. Found out here in Oregon, I can get a lien on any vehicle + get the title for $75. Its great.

Total in to the car:
$80 clutch kit
$20 input shaft cover
$30 fluids/oil change
$75 lien + $86 registration + $12 plate fee + $21 DEQ + $30 trip permit

Still need to get tires for the 2 stock wheels I just got. Shouldnt be more then $50-80.

Sitting right at $400~ ($500 with $100 in paint work :))

Well, its alive :woowoo:

Just need to finish up the title stuff and get the body work/detailing done + stock wheels installed! WooT!

So far $150 spent.

i actually like the wheels, but the car definitely needs a drop for them to look right.

Sweet, well I got the transmission in no problem. Just need to stop by a friends and get that exhaust (dual vs single) and I should be able to bolt everything up.

I'll help out tomorrow. I'm sure we can figure it out.
