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...

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.

Oh where's the rust hole ?!

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

I just want to drive it...  I haven't touched it with being so busy at work and on the e30.

Put a seat in and mike and I will push you around the block

[RamRod E28]

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

Some say that this bmw sits on the smallest wheels fitted to a bmw... and some say that the Mr. Menard is digging the M20>M50 game... All we know is this car is gonna be badass once a bacon bits line is running at hormel lol

[jc43089]

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.......

[jc43089]

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...

[Earl]

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=)

[RamRod E28]

This would look awesome imo...

[Earl]

That is the one I was referencing. It looks terrible. Might as well get an e34 lol

[RamRod E28]

Its a nice blend i think

[Earl]

With the header panel sitting under the headlights and corner lights, it would be very difficult to get an e34 grille to fit and those portions would look out of place as filler panels. Also, the hood line and bumper line is much different than the e34 and it wouldn't line up properly. The amount of work it would require to make it look "proper" would cost much more time and money than just getting an e34. 

The funny thing about the e34 is it is almost exactly what an e30 and e36 would look like it they mated.
