Did a couple things today. Clay barred the windows since they were pretty hazy. Left side is after, right side is before.


Continued cleaning up the interior. The shift knob and steering wheel are disgusting.


I also took the grills and kidney out so tomorrow I can clean them up and paint them. More photos to come.

Used a $20 walmart buffer with Meguairs Compound.

Cleaned up pretty well. Still a bunch of little nicks but it at least feels clean.

Looks great! That carpet and interior went from disgusting to mint!

[oprahhwinfreyy]

Yesterday and today were dedicated to interior cleaning. Pulled out the seats and center console as well as the carpet and side panels.









Scrubbed all the plastic trim with soapy water and a magic eraser.







On the carpet I used a carpet cleaner called Resolve which comes in an aerosol can. Then they were pressure washed and hung to dry over night. They were absolutely disgusting to begin with.

Then onto the interior panels which were had to clean. Still actually have some stain/discoloring on them.

Before:


After:




Ended Up Looking Pretty Good.





Tomorrow Will be dedicated to a full exterior detail.

I've lucked into a 1987 325.
After "finishing" my last project, and by finishing I mean not wanting to spend anymore money on it, I put it up for sale.

Check out the thread here if your curious: Aircooled Flatwindow

I had been checking craigslist just about every few days for E/21/28/30's for the last three months. I was definitely on the hunt after deciding to sell the beetle. On a Friday, around 2PM, I caught sight of an ad with one photo, of what looked to be a solid undamaged and rustless E30. For super cheap I might add because of an alleged busted transmission. By 4PM I had showed up at the sellers house to look at the car. 15 minutes later, I said I'd take it.



The following Monday, the car was towed home to the shop. Pull it off the truck and drove it around, going through all the gears. I give you the "busted" transmission.



Earlier that month, my workplace had setup an NCAA bracket contest. 84 people submitted a bracket, including myself. The final four teams come about and at this point I have completely forgot about basketball because I couldn't care less. I don't even watch basketball. The guy running the thing comes up to me and says, "Man, your in 1st place dude." I say, "Say wha?"



Apparently, It pays to pick the teams with the lowest seed winning every matchup. The final game happens and the combined score is 131. If it would have been 132, I would not have won due to a tiebreaker deal. So long story short, I had just payed for my BMW through a workplace bracket contest.





I wont reveal many details yet, Its not exactly ready. Ill keep you posted. You might even catch some things on my instagram: @oprahhwinfreyy
