Jan 6th
Recently got some new roundlets for the hood and trunk.
Also I had black speaker covers in a car with tan interior so I didn't really think it looked very good so I picked up some tan ones. Also my driver turn signal went bad so I got a replacement
The restore continues lol, have a couple things I'm going to sell and I also have a early front valance on the way to replace mine that is in really rough shape.Leave a comment:

Also got a rear center console, ebrake boot, shift boot and glovebox
July 5th, 2010
Well after a long day and a few issues (and a ton of help from a couple buddies) the e30 was finally dropped. Still more suspension work to be done but its nice to finally have it dropped.
July 10th, 2010
Well I got some parts last night
Also going to the yard today so hopefully I'll have more parts after today
July 14th, 2010
Repainted the trim on the front bumper and also tucked it in
July 16th, 2010
Well didn't get to much done as my spacers and caliper didn't show up so I lost motivation plus it rained some.
So I repainted the rear trim and rear bumper (did the bumper since the chrome looked horrible and there were some scratches in it). Also got my front center console in so my interior looks a little better.
July 24th, 2010
Well haven't done to much but I did get some new stuff: shift boot, ebrake boot, euro analog clock and woodgrain shift knob
Got the knob and boots installed.
July 30th, 2010
Got these in the mail, still waiting on one more bolt to put them on. 17mm for the back, so I'll get a little stagger

Also my tires are getting mounted on the wheels... I'm hoping to have to them on before work.
Here is a super quick shot of my car with the new wheels... still have a vibration upfront so more investigating will have to happen.

99sil-teg e30 build thread
First off... I know its not long enough hahaha
This is a build/restore project.. I say restore as most of my time and money has been spent replacing original parts.
Bought the car back in June bone stock.
June 13th, 2010
Well today I picked up a 87 325es today.
Its a work in progress and is bone stock.
Plan:
Full detail
Brakes & rotors
Shocks & springs (a drop is in order)
Replace:
Tails and gaskets
center console
glove box
Wheels (15's or 16's)
Valve Adjustment
Now to the pics
Today's Progress
I got it home and just had to play around with it. Cleaned the windows, also started war with some pesky ants in the trunk, and repainted a couple things... not much but its a start.
June 14th, 2010
Well so far I have bought a ebrake handle and yellow highbeams... I know crazy lol. Should have some springs bought by the end of the night too.
Wheel wise I'm leaning towards some Axis OG San's in Gunmetal w/ a polished lip.
June 15th, 2010
Just ordered my some Axis OG San's in Gunmetal with a polished lip... 15x8 w/ a +25 offset. Got em for $650 shipped brand new... very pumped plus its not a wheel I see a lot... and I'm too poor for Formula Meshes lol.
Also have springs on the way, paid for em this morning, should drop me about 2.25 inch. Next up will be shocks.
Just ordered my Blistein Sport's as well... this next week will be very fun waiting for all my parts lol
June 18th, 2010
Update:
Well my wheels showed up today (haven't seen them yet, wife text me while I'm at work)
Also took the 325es badge off and pinstripe off, just need to get some adhesive remover to finish the job. Also shopping spacers bc I'll have to get one.
Also locally found a guy with tons of e30 stuff so I might have a full interior after this weekend.
Also have decided to do a plastic bumper swap, just gunna start with the front for now though. Should have my bilsteins Tuesday, springs mon or tues, yellow hi beams tues, brows tues or wed. Also ordered a Bentley Manual and should be here Monday lol.
Tire wise I'm thinking of going with 205/50/15's
I'll have some pics of progress tomorrow
June 19th, 2010
These came in yesterday!
Also on the 19th...
So today I did a couple things, first up I removed the pinstripe and glue.
Then I repainted the grills and kidneys black
Then I had taken my antenna out and need some sort of plug. So I found a generic gasket from a parts store, flipped it inside out so it would fit, then I stacked two buttons, then a dime and took silicon and glued them all in and topped it off with a dime. Then took silicon and put a beer bottle cap on top for look... don't know how I feel about it yet but it looks way better than the half up antenna
