I continued my painting today.

Started out on the rear bumper, it was kind of faded and rough feeling so I sanded a little and prepped it. Taped everything off and was too lazy to find something good to cover the car while painting so I just used paper towels. It looks stupid but it actually worked fine.

Moved on to the front of the car and did the same thing.

Just a little shot with the Jeep and the e30





That was it for today. I tried to install a short shifter that came with the car but it didn't fit so that was kind of a bummer.

Here is a preview of what is to come...

Nice build man, cant wait to see what you do. I'm going to be picking up a 89 325i pretty soon

thanks man, and good luck with your e30!

I'm proud of you for replacing those green hoses. Seats have to go!

Looks nice so far.

thanks, hoses had to go ASAP. I don't even understand why they make colored hoses.

Seats are getting replaces as soon as I can find a good pair of seats for sale in my area. hopefully it's soon because I can't stand these ginormous things I have now.

Did some more work tonight. Not much but it's something.

First I replaced all those hideous green hoses for some black ones.

This one hose was a PITA to get back in :hitler: but eventually got it.





Did you washer fluid delete for weight reduction because racecar :



Next up was painting the front window trim. Tape, 2 trash bags, and some paper towels and an hour later I got it painted. Used krylon fusion pro satin. I love this stuff, sticks to anything.







Then I tried to clean up all of the chrome on the car. Used this stuff. Turned out pretty good.







That's all for now.

Sorry for not having any real mods to do yet. I have to get here cleaned up before that.

Did a little work last night.

First I installed my clear turn signal lenses and oh so good looking euro grills from abrahams motorsports.



The front in collision from the PO bent the front clip a little bit to where the hood didn't fit correctly so it was time to solve that issue. Grabbed the jeep and some ratchet straps and pulled the clip back forward. I've almost got it to where it needs to be just needs a little more tweaking. I'm about 1/4" too far back but that shall be solved soon.

Got to show the jeep some love. 2006 wrangler LJ 3" lift 35" tires custom roll cage and a bunch of other stuff you guys probably don't care about haha.

Anyways, should have another update tonight so stay tuned!
