      I ALREADY DRILLED THE HOLES IN THE SHOCKS A LONG TIME AGO. I COULDNT GET THEM TO PUSH IN WITH A HAMMER OR ANYTHING ELSE SO I HAVE TO DRIVE IT UP TO A WALL OR WHATEVER.

              Is it common for pedal boxes to break on E30s too? I know that people reinforce the E28 ones, wonder if its all the same hardware.

                I'm not sure if they are a common problem. I'm amazed that the rod broke though.

                  does your firewall have any accident damage causing the clutch masta to be mounted off on an angle from where BMW intended it to be?

                    I'm not sure. I know that the rear end was hit but I can't say for the firewall

                        Duct tape is awesome.  Why is your shifter leaning so far forward?

                              ^ not a bad idea, and yeah, looks like your shifter is backwards

                                I'll just buy red tape then use some then return it. Or I could color the tape with red sharpie?

                                  It's a drift car, just use zip ties to sew the seat back together 🙂

                                      i got excited today, because FedEx said my coils will be here. i rushed home after school to find nothing on my door step. since they didnt show up i started to get going on taking the front struts out. 

                                      IMG09841zps632677d5.jpg

                                      IMG09911zpsc417d5a8.jpg

                                      the other strut was worse than the first one i pulled out. the outside of the strut shell was coated in the grease or oil that was inside when it wasn't blown. now im just waiting on FedEx to bring me my darn coilovers.

                                          That makes me want to install one of those drop boxes for packages. Like the ones you use to put the block buster movies in.
