DirtE30 - 1990 BMW 325i

Day 3!

Woke up early planning on getting a lot done, but again got called in to do some stuff for work for a few hours. Still a good day. We're moving next week so I tidied up the garage a little bit and then got set adjusting the sunroof. It's actually really simple and easy to do, but it seems my frame is a little tired, so it doesn't want to stay adjusted all the way up like it should. Not a huge deal, but when I washed the car, it leaked a little. I'm not sure if that's okay since it'll never rain that much (and this car will never be outside), but not ideal. Got the headliner back in and continued cleaning. I wash both of my cars and convinced Zach to wash his miata for the first time in over a year. Decided I wanted something simple and relaxing to do, so I decided to polish and wax the car to see what would happen.

What a surprise! The paint is pretty damn great considering it was a barn find SE30 parts car. Clear is gone on a small section of the roof and there are some deep chips in places, but otherwise with a quick polish, I got it looking pretty decent! Here's a few comparison photos of the door where there were a ton of scuffs, the trunk, and a shot in the sun. Not bad. Other than that, I continued my deoderizing schedule, found some bilsteins for cheap to use with Dave's is springs (should lower it a bit), started the hunt for wheels and tires that won't explode and kill me, and got a glove box and rear seat lined up as well. Still looking for front seats from an e30 so I don't have to do any mods to fit them as well as a speed sensor for the diff.

Narrowed down the dash light issue to probably the dimmer switch or the ashtray light. Will tackle that some time this week.
