      It's quite a bit of work to clean up a 30 year old car. Even one that's been taken care of and one family owned.

        Yeah I hear you. I'm biased but I truly believe the E30 looks alot better than most cars from that era. Still a good looking car.

          Yup. The E30 and MKII Jetta GLI are my two favorite cars of 1990.

              Yeah, I've been documenting everything I do to the E21 here:


              It's nothing too exciting. Just me going through the car and trying to make it presentable.

                What does H&R not make lowering springs for E21?

                  I heard that. I'm doing the same with mine.

                    They do. But, cutting the springs is arguably better on an E21:

                      That article is so full of outlandish claims.

                      Just about every drawback of the lowering springs should really be put into the drawbacks of cutting springs.

                          Price check on Vagiclean, aisle five. I repeat: price check on Vagiclean, aisle five. That's Vagiclean. We've got a customer down here with a full-on fallopian fungus. I'm baking a loaf of bread and I think it's sourdough.

                              I've never seen a publication promoting the cutting of coil springs before. And from Metric Mechanic no less!
