I bet u Ben and I could get ur e36 pretty far in a weekend. You gotta get her done soon cause the spring in spring green meet is almost upon us

True story, course days notice and I'll clear a weekend. Plus I need a BMW ride to the meet since mine is on almost as many pieces as the e36

[RamRod E28]

You may be able to get a ride in the e28 at the rate that thing is getting done!

I will be cruising the e30 to the meet!

Today the interior comes out, and going to build a cart sorta thing to move the shell around.

Got the driver seat out, they are ridiculously heavy!

[bfinley]

VERT! Riding in style. Are there airbags in the seat ?

[jc43089]

No airbags in these ones, but they are power/heated.  Probably close to 50 pounds each.

[bfinley]

Yikes

[jc43089]

Dash and carpet out, floor looks ok from the inside.  Lots of sticky residue under the carpet, looks to be spilt soda...

[bfinley]

Gross, does it have the black tar layer like mine did ?

[jc43089]

Yea, working on that now.

[bfinley]

Heat gun makes that go super easy

[jc43089]

Good call, that is working way better.

[RamRod E28]

More e36 carnage?

[jc43089]

Yup, pics when I'm done.

[bfinley]

That garbage just peels up with heat and a putty knife or pry bar

[RamRod E28]

Or find some dry ice, pour it on, whack it with a hammer and boom no more floor tar.

[jc43089]

I got the interior out,

Dashboard, this should not be so difficult...

Seats and carpet.

Looked great at that point, then I started removing the tar layer.

And the mountain of tar junk, every little bit of weight out helps.

Next tasks, tar out of the trunk, then get the car out of the garage for sandblasting.

[bfinley]

Oh where's the rust hole ?!

[RamRod E28]

This car is currently running the smallest wheels fitted to a bmw since bens e21 XD

[jc43089]

We made some dollies with 6" casters to get the car out of the way so we could work on the vert.

Ridin low!

It rolled really nice like that, here is it's resting place until the convertible is done.

I love the dollies

Great way to ghost ride the whip
