Took it to dezzys and we had a look underneith, it was all in very very good order, there was a little spot where the front wing joins the sill that could do with a bit of rubbing down and paint but other than that it was superb underneith

Awaits the Haterz innit :)

Fitted my tech 2 wheel today

Image

Image

One knackerd underdash panel, might get a new from the stealers :mad:

Image

Some nice aftermarket wiring.
Image

Going to get some new pedal rubbers orderd too.


Also a bit of my e30 ocd kicked in.

dirty center console, cleaned that with a scrubbing brush and some good old cheap car wash. Then i fitted some new electric window switches as the old ones had logos missing. there was an led fitted below the fag lighter so i fitted a new "ash tray holder" with a nice new fag lighter.

Image

Image

Image

dash scrub

Image

Image

After a some poor boys natural look shit :D

Image

Doesnt look like £65 worth does it :o:

Image

the interior is a long way away from how i like my e30 interiors but it will get there.

Some of the underbonnet insulation had started to sag in places, same thing happened on my IS after a few month. so before the fan eats it ive glued it back up with some spray adhesive.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Got some car audio to install too.

ive got some Vibe components for the front which are 100w rms

and a nice powerfull amp too. 4x 100w rms @ 4 ohms :D

that arrived today

Image

No more parking outside for the neighbours :chuckle:

Image

Ive got another week of work in 2 weeks so i'am going tostrip the interior out and do a mass cleaning session on it.

when the carpet comes out i will paint it along with the other pedals with some smooth black hammerite, ive done it to all my e30s and with a set of new pedal rubbers it looks good :D

Wheel makes a decent temporary stand in :P

Has the off-side fog lost it's lense or got a bust seal? Looks really dark in the pic.
