hahahaha Better then what I tell most people when they wanna paint. I usually tell them I have a climate controlled full car paint booth... Haha. Then they wanna paint.

Don't paint it. Trust me. Totally not worth it. Address all the rust(if any) and thats it. I'm in the middle of painting my drift bitch, and its totally not worth it. I'm in the same boat as you though. First drift car as an e30 and its gutted and wanting to slide. cheers!

also, find an m50. Totally worth it. mine is going in thursday night. You can keep your currents trans and stuff. Just have to buy a brace from GunMetalGrey on this forum.
Says it's going in thursday night, Still has yet to pick it up from one of the shadiest sellers on CL.

i was working on a truck that is next to my car. i cant handle painting cars. its just too much time.
update, i patched the rust spot and i painted the truck with some good ol plasti dip.
im still learning how to weld so dont expect the welds to be awesome.
and all of the trash that has accumulated from the car.

hahah nice, i still have the door panels and the idea was to keep the floor rug, but it just tore so i said fuck it. hahah i may put the door panels back in.

I'd run the door panels, unless you're gunna run door skins, those door skeletons are sharp/give you no comfortable way to close the doors. An thrashing around= cut your arms/legs.
I'd do a half carpet, keep the carpet from the dash to the back of the drivers seat. That's what I did on my S13

good point, i dont want to get stabbed by my door when trying to go sideways.

Honestly, if you wanted, you could be high speed and do something cool like this:
That's an E30 pictured. But ditch those stupid factory door pulls. I have some epic CNC machined 6061 aluminum handles I'd sell to you if you'd like!
thats what i was thinking too. just put a steel door panel. that doesnt look like a bad idea, now that i actually see what it looks like.
-
im trying to think if there is a way to get it to pop off and on easily, so i dont have to use rivets.

This is my buddies Hachi drift car's door cards. These were more expensive. But they look awesome in person. I wish I could find a better picture. Vinny at Destruction Warehouse in Waukesha made them. Custom brushed stainless.
thats beautiful. might need to do this.
