E21 Project Thread - Part 2

We're talking about color here, not speakers. Stay on subject! Ay ay ay!!!!

Only problem I see with two tone on your door cards is you'd have to mask the stripped section off and I wonder how clean the lines would be.
this. the e30 had some factory door cards with two-tone, but it worked because it was stitched in that way.
and for your headliner, you could probably leave it tan, no one notices headliners. its like when people obsess over a crack in the ceiling of their house. no one sees it but you, because our eyes arent on the top of our heads.

You have valid points here. So then the question comes down to black door cards, brown door cards or maybe black cards with brown handle/armrest piece? Not sure how that would turn out tho.
-
i like black pulls because they hide the hand oil stains, but brown will look really nice too.
found some brown ones on ebay, they look great that way: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-e21-mocca-brown-front-and-rear-door-panels-with-handles-and-ashtrays-/131727654317?hash=item1eab947dad:g:2y8AAOSwoydWmn6h&vxp=mtr

Yeah i saw those too on ebay. I would worry tho that this brown wouldn't match the brown in my seats. If I were to go brown door cards, I would dye the ones I have the same color as my seats so its an exact match.
-
yeah i wasnt suggesting buying them, just finding an example of all brown door cards to see how it looks.

this is a skillset way beyond my wheelhouse. I feel dumb.
Seats look pretty good IMO.

Got my poly e30 diff bushing in the mail from garagistics. Yellow to match the other yellow bushings already on my car.

Even your bushing color matches. #earlmode

Getting the central locking system working along with redoing all the cylinders on my e30 is in the top 3 of fixes I've done to it.
You're kicking ass! Keep it rolling!!

Central locking kit should be here today.
Got the rear percel shelf and rear seat belts removed. Also started laying down the carpet underlayment/soundproofing/heatproofing in prep for the new carpet set.
exhaust is rubbing on the e30 driveshaft a tad, so in process of putting a new exhaust hanger on to move it slightly. Then just need new muffler hangers for that.
Started laying out where the aerocatch hood latches will be installed as well as reinforcing the fiberglass hood. Hood is pretty flimsy and flexes a lot. I want to stiffen it up a bit without adding too much weight.
Had the car idling this weekend and found oil leaking at turbo. Seems that the bolts holding the center section to the turbine housing loosened up. Tightened the ones I could reach easily and trying to figure out how to tighten the last bolt that is a bugger to get to.
