Terrible pic of the rear deck but its all in there lol, happy with the out come.



Also finished the console and installed it, wish I had better pics but loving how it turned out, honestly surprised it looks as good as it does since it was my first time doing something like this.




Also got a free rear seat that I'll be having recovered since my seat right now is blue. I have a knob coming as well so that will change soon.

Loving the work you are putting into it. Can't wait to see the rear deck cover mounted.

So my OCD kicked in and I decided to repaint my ashtray.... so yeah lol

Before.


After.


Then I finished part of the console which took forever, also got new gauges from Mooneyes which I'm stoked about, first I just put them in



Then decided what the hell, why not mock most of it up haha

Finished up my rear deck cover tonight, would love to install it tomorrow but its going to be 13 out... so it will wait lol. Started work on the center console but taking my time on it since it will be smack dab in front of everyone in the car. Got a couple things in the mail... just waiting now lol.

Nice work, hadn't seen this yet. Glad to see things being done right.

Oh, and thanks for posting the triumph mirror. I've been meaning to check ebay for a set of talbot's again, and that reminded me. I"ve been looking for a decent used set that isn't worth more than the car for a couple years now. Low and behold I found a pair for a reasonable amount.

Hurray for stylish, period correct mirrors!

Yeah I was wanting a Talbot mirror but just couldn't justify dropping that much so I went for the cheaper option lol. Eventually I will be getting one though, just after other purchases.

Great looking 02, I will let you know what I think about the GC setup as it is going on my car soon. For suspension I would just upgrade the bushings to urethane and get bigger anti roll bars. If you are needing any stock from under the hood let me know because I might not need it anymore.

Sounds good, actually leaning towards catuned building me some Coilovers in a couple months.

Doing interior work tonight, no done yet but here is some progress so far.

Enjoying this build. Keep up the good work

Thanks man!


So went and bought some vinyl to work on the rear deck. Also cut some other pieces for the console and also ordered something to finish up the console but more on that when it comes lol... I'll leave you with a bland boring uneventful picture

Thanks guys!

Finally had a little more time to just clean some stuff up.

First up was polishing up the ashtrays which I figured I'd have to just replace but these look pretty decent for now.

Before:


After:


Then after a ton of cleaning, got the handles cleaned, it was like whoever owned the car that had these didn't believe in washing their hands.



Then cleaned up the rear cards, the front need cleaned but I need to re-attach the leather at the bottom of the cards to tighten them back up. Also looking into rewrapping the chrome trim since the current condition is pretty poor.

Well got me some new oem door panels with handles and hardware, Always loved Saddle Brown interior plus I needed to break up all the black. They need a major cleaning though.




I'm also building a rear deck cover to hide the rear speakers since they were installed where they aren't centered and the OCD in me is driven mad by it lol.

[99sil-teg]

Loving the build so far. Great attention to detail, keep it up

Thanks! Good to see some midwest guys on here, E30 looks clean

Did some polishing last night since its been so cold so I'm stuck inside. Took the mirror apart and cleaned it up.





Then I cleaned up the corner I picked up, originally was going to just use the lens but it is cleaning up so probably do a little more work on it and run it.




Also have a surprise coming for the interior from Canada but you'll just have to wait
