I'm not a fan of your apparent need to paint everything black. But I like everything else.

Eyemazing update with no pictures.
I have four new (matching sized, non dry rotted, air holding) tires on the car.
Wow! Hope you guys/gals can handle the progress.

Well my original, turning to dust shift knob, literally fell in half/came off while driving. Not a terrible deal, but no shift knob just feels honda. In my thoughts of "damn it, its going to take forever for one to come in the mail", I realized they sell shit knobs everywhere. Pulled off the road and into a fancy tuner shop known as Pep Boys. They walls were stacked with shiny objects and go fast parts.
I scored a genuine imitation delrin drift knob for $12!
It will work until I order a new one. (Or keep and save my money for some other sweet parts I saw in the tuner shop!)
Now, Im a fan of bumperless E28s, always have been (unless you have a euro front or other fancy, unobtainable clip) but I **** the bumper mount holes, and the just general nature of "somethings missing" since it is... Also, all of my undercoating/rock protection/texture is speckled with the original white coming through, so I decided before it got dark, to try and clean up the industrial warehouse look of the front end.
Before:
After:
The dents are still there, but man, anything is better. This weekend im going to attack the rocker panels and get them back to a smooth coat of black also.
STILL WAITING ON THE BOAT FROM POLAND TO BRING MY WHEEEEELLLSSZZZ

This is going to be a very boring update:
Car died on me leaving work. So I popped open the trunk, got the multi meter, and went to work... after work.... After about 20 min, pin 86 on the main relay was not putting out 12 volts with the key on.
Open glove box, grab main relay. Plug in and go home. ALWAYS have spare fuses and relays in your box. And window switches...
After I got home, cut the grass, clay barred and waxed some chalky 30 year old Alpine white and what do you know.... There is a slight reflection. On a few panels.
The pass side of the car didnt polish up as well and the hood still looks of shit. But something is better than nothing.
Im STILLLLLLL waiting on the Keskins.... I know you would rather see that update than this one.
