Still love this build!

[Jpac75]

This build has inspired me to keep my E30 and to build it up! Hope mine looks as good as yours someday!!

Man that interior tho ! looks so fresh

[Dylanhat]

This is a sweet build

[Steven?]

I've been working on my car. Have some pics.

My top was leaking so I stripped my interior to dry it out. I figured I might as well re-dye the carpet at the same time!
Dirty.

Clean.





Picked these up last night. Not sure what to do with em.



What I did today!









Dad helping out..





How she sat when I was done for the day.







Today I basically just put the replacement panels on and made sure they fit right along with some minor body work, planning on the Mtech 2 valence, and I rolled the new front fender. Overall good progress towards getting the car sprayed. The interior needs some work. AKA the bottom on the front seats. But otherwise it's in perfect condition. I just need to find some new material for them.

[Steven?]

I've done a few things. Nothing big but I decided I should at least update.
I scored a reupholstered set of seats! Some work is being done to the fronts and door cars so only pics of the back for now.


Dark spots are just a bit of wetness..


Also scored these and am having some headrests reupholstered for the rear.


In the process of cleaning up the wheels for this season...


Picked this baby up...



And ended up selling these...


...for this.


Much more to come

[Steven?]

Small update here... Got some parts in the mail and assembled my intake with the 3.5" MAF and Hard Motorsports adapter.




Waiting on a few more parts then real updates will start coming!

[Nuts]

wow bud great work!!!

[Steven?]

Thanks guys! Love the support! Lots of work has gone into the car thus far and all I can hope is that maybe my build will help inspire others.
