    All good. Welded the tab top, bottom and a spot in the middle. Thought about running a full bead but would have fried the threads on the tab. I had removed the seat shock for clearance and the welded tab ended up being strong enough to use to anchor channel locks to recompress the shock. Got the seat back together and in the car, no more rocking. Thanks to Jake at RAWSOMOTION in Germantown for the quick weld. [image: una3uguh.jpg]

    ClassE said: Just picked up my first E30, so still trying to figure out all the little model differences and the "what-fits-what's". Sedan/coupe fenders are the same, the only difference is the convertibles.  That's a no go unless you have a convertible. Lips and late model valences are all identical.

    I had an AWESOME time at this meet. [image: :D] Lots of unique cars and was nice to have a little of everything! BMWs, Audis, VWs, Porsches, the spread. Had to leave early tho... Salmon were running wild at Kletzch park (managed with a 16lb king)

    If you can find a good shop, the private sector is much better than the emission test stations.  It was like the DMV but with night shift walmart employees.
