Random question:: were you at, or drive by, Fest @ Griot's on Saturday?

Nope nope! Haven't been to any meets or anything.


Shit sucks about getting hit, but the fact that he left a business card separates him from most Seattle drivers. Good-ish on him!

So, my heart broke a little yesterday....

Someone backed into me while I was parked at work... :cry: :






Fortunately for me, the damage isn't too terrible. SUPER fortunate for me, the guy who did it left his business card on my windshield, and is willing to work with me to get her all put back together.

I got a repair estimate done as soon as I discovered this and left my building. Can you believe that this relatively small amount of damage is going to cost close to $2,100 to fix completely? Sure glad it's not coming out of my pocket!!

I think it's time for me to do Euro bumpers and grills....

Oh hey I saw this at Fest on saturday. It looked really good.

Thanks! She's going to look pretty different come next year's show season; got plenty up my sleeve

Quit doing cool things. Yes. Very bad. What hartge things though?

I have a spoiler and a shift knob coming my way. The shift knob should be here this week, and the wing should be here by mid-October. The shift knob is coming from the UK, while the wing is coming from Cyprus, over in Europe.

Still jealous of your e30 things, I need to either start caring about my car again or buy a new project. Congrats on the hartage find, hold on to that thing!

So, thanks to a fellow forum-er (from a different forum), I have some lovely new interior pieces. Makes me blatantly aware that I need to do something with the seats... haha.

Fronts before::



Fronts after:: (yes, I know.. I'm still missing the window crank covers...)




Rears before::

I also discovered, by a purely accidental split second of my evening last night, that I have THIS::



All this time, I've been getting asked what front valence I have, and now I know that I've got a real Hartge front valence!! I was super excited last night.

I also have this::



I don't know what strut bar I have; can anybody shed some light? Sorry for a relatively low-quality photo; I was in the middle of a project yesterday. I could take some better photos of it this afternoon when I get home if need be. I'm just curious if it's a well-known one, or a custom-made one.

Nice e30, and lovely colour!

Here's a few more photos of my lil' lady

A friend of my roommate took these shots the other day, and I loved how they turned out. Yes, I already know that I need a new lower valance and some Euro fogs; I'm working on it

[philohlean]

Haha. You're the kind of person I wouldn't mind picking your brain on certain things since I've never had an e30 before and have a lot to learn.

I'm not nearly as experienced as many of the people here on SW, but by all means feel free to pick away! I am on this website entirely too much haha.
