    • I'm soooo glad you're cleaning this car up. The grill looks 32746690 times better with new paint and all four lights. Great work as usual. Can't wait to see what you do with the bay this summer!

        • I like the car alot but why the hell would you do that to a interior, change the stereo location and delete vent holes and delete the heat/cold adjustment buttons? It just looks like two year old has played with clay. I think it looks stupid and awful, i like the v8 on a e30 but interior is not my type, i like things that are clean, like in real racecars

            Why would I leave things in I don't need? There's no hvac system, so there is no need for any such part of the system to be left in the car. The interiors retarded, man. The cars fun, I can't take it seriously. By the way, no **** on the wood grain wrap?

                      I'm thinking it has to do with it being right in front of possibly the most rigid bit of the whole plate. Just a guess off the top of my head though. My exhaust keeps scraping now.

                      • Redoing the front end, and wrapped my rear trunk in wrapping paper and plastic wrap.








                        I've honestly grown to **** my valance/ bumper combo, any opinions/ suggestions? Working on a few of my own.

                          But you still moved your stereo, why not do it properly, and i dont even understand the wood wrap in there, there is so much possibilities to do the interior right, and the way i see, everything is wrong and so uncomfortable.
                          My suggestions are that you do proper gauge panel in there where are your wood grain wrap, then you will be able to see them too, move your switches to , where you can adjust the air flow, and install the stereo where it is supposed to be and add the original clock. Install back the airwents because they look much better even if there are no need for them. Right now all of the switches and stuff are just randomly installed and you havent thought this through.


                          But still , you arent building this car for me, so carry on. I very much like the cars appearance and engine swap. Peace!

                          • I think the car looks raw as hell (in a good way). My response to the interior being the way it is:
                            Sup. Call me Z.

                              The temp gauge is being moved to the stock position and the oil pressure moved to where the second hvac switch was. Rest of it will be staying

                              I'm bent on keeping the exterior as clean and simple as can be, so the interior is where I get to have a bit of fun. I understand where you're coming from, but the dash is absolutely wrecked(cracked, bent, etc), so it will probably stay as such until I get a new one.

                              Thanks for the words!
