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

              I got the interior out,

              Dashboard, this should not be so difficult...

              019zpsf1868041.jpg

              Seats and carpet.

              020zps83b2e43d.jpg

              026zpsb9971bd5.jpg

              027zpsca392e73.jpg

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

              032zps31811162.jpg

              031zpsb0f92cdb.jpg

              029zps64b1d5bd.jpg

              028zps13732b7e.jpg

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

              033zpsb19823ec.jpg

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

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

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

                                we can put a fan boat engine on the back of it really quickly... I'm sure the neighbors won't mind. I can let you drive my e46 to help ease the pain a little bit as well

                                    It may be true, the M20 is fun.  It has such a different character than the 24V.  Yesterday we ran some pouches to test, today when the bacon gets here we will run some real product.  I have a few things to finish up on the vert before I put a for sale sign on it.  It is such a fun car but I can't have two summer cars and I like the e36 more.  The e36 is a better driving car but the e30 has much more class/stylish looks.  I wonder if I could mutate an e34ish round headlight setup on the e36...

                                      It looks terrible. The idea has been brought up and photoshops have been done.......

                                        Ok, I will look for some pics, I just wish I could make it a little more classic looking.  I will at least get some glass lens Euro headlights.  I think the factory e30 lights are better than the e36 ones...

                                          US Spec e36 lights suck. I had plastic lense headlights. The downside of glass is that rocks can chip or crack them. The unfortunate thing is that e36's are too modern looking to be done classic. E34's are the happy medium=)
