Just got done hanging out in the shop with John and Mike (I'm awful with names but I think that's right) talking through possibilities and the challenges of rust...
Here are some links to the strange influences for the car right now
Now before you rage quit whilst screaming "THOSEARENTBMWS" keep in mind that my first car was a Camaro and my last two cars were Subarus. So I've got this American muscle, Japanese import bent, and now I have a BMW. So it seems natural to me to blend euro, import, and muscle together.
More importantly, the wheels off the Z, the interior from that martini mustang, and crazy inline six feeding straight pipes that dump in front of the rear wheels...
You got both our names right lol

Does anyone have a drivers seat that isn't torn?
My insurance decided that it cant be insured as a "classic" with the cracked dash and torn seat.... so that they can jump my premium from 100 dollars a year to 560 a year...
I'm going to make the dash at least look fixed... but I don't have a seat to put in.

Take pic of passenger side, then switch seats to take pic of drivers side? I have dark blue seats in my vert that are in good shape if you are looking for a temporary solution to take some pics but I don't want to sell them. What about high quality seat covers like bavauto sells? They install nicely and don't look like covers. They are kinda pricey but in this case would be well worth it.

I have some tan cloth seat covers off the e28 they seem like they'd fit over ur frames

I have my stock seats. I have recaro's in. So I have no use for the stock seats. They are up in the rafters of my 2nd garage. I can check for tears if you would be interested. They are black. I have both. I may have a bench for the rear as well.

I have hobbyist plates. But how do you go about getting the insurance company to insure the car as a classic?
-
I might have some mint tan e30 sport seats for sale after this weekend, if you're interested.
Could I get pictures price and location?

Mine has Minnesota collector plates... And I guess that based on age and condition they have a classic level of coverage for cars that don't get driven often...

I am going to look into that. I've owned my 320i restored since 2007. And have been driving it since 2009. I have only put on 9k for miles.
