Not much new here, but figured I'd update anyhow. Keep myself accountable n'at.
Replaced the steering guibo on the vert. Forgot how tedious that job is.
Also was digging around in some old pictures, and found some from the original listing to my car. Probably should have passed on it at the time, but I'm so glad I didn't.
Anyways, I installed some new fog lights, and got them working for the first time in 2+ years! They're a Chinese knockoff set I found on Amazon, so we'll see how long they last.
Now if I can just track down a new front lip...

Have a pretty cool update in the works! A few months ago a friend of a friend on Facebook asked if she knew anyone with an older vintage car from the 80's or 90's for a feature in Popular Mechanics magazine. We replied and let her know we had a pair of daily-driver E30s in halfway decent shape, but didn't really expect a reply to be honest. Turns out they were super interested in our story, and decided to do the feature on us.
Here's a couple teaser pictures from the photoshoot they did last weekend. Will be seeing the results from the shoot over the next few months - pretty sure the article will come out in the March issue
Oh and I got a front lip finally :D

Update time
The Popular Mechanics article came out a few days ago! http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars...1991-bmw-325i/
They mentioned it'd probably come out in March, but it looks like they ran it early. Pretty happy with it despite some of the questionable details... "dolphin-grey" Super pleased they ran a pic with both cars in it.
Progress will be pretty slow from here for a bit - We're in the process of buying a house and planning a wedding. Was hoping to start a swap this summer but that'll probably get delayed until I have some free time.
Will leave you with one last picture. House and car were both born in 1991 - I think it's a perfect fit!
