    I'm surprised they can do that legally lol. Imagine if they kicked the dash that hard 

    Right, and then they told me about it...  I guess they don't know how to replace an old school window that has a rubber gasket instead of glue.

        Thanks! And that sounds like a great idea, it should definitely happen

          I'd recommend Glass Pro for the windshield. They've done a couple of my personal cars and probably over a hundred for me at work. Great guys and prices are really good. Also, they won't put shitty Chinese glass in your car. I'd expect it to be right around $200.

          Gave Glass Pro a call, got a quote for $250 installed which is pretty good compared to other places I called, seemed like a nice guy on the phone too. I'll be making an appointment after the holidays to get this thing sorted. Thanks for the recommendation!

            Thats cheap! I should inquire about the e21 to get rid of the wiper arm scratch across it from the doofus PO.

              Completed my tool kit! It was missing almost everything when I bought the car...

                124.5k: Oil change with 5w40 synthetic, a few more metal particles on the drain plug than the last two changes but I stretched (aka neglected) my normal interval from 3k to 5k miles, so I'm not too worried about it. 

                Went to Pegasus over the weekend with Dan, that place is awesome. Got a proper helmet and I think that is all I need to start getting this car and my e30 out to some events. Hopefully the ice rally-x is rescheduled to a weekend that works! I was pretty concerned about how I would fit in the car with a helmet on, but I can actually make it work while still being fairly comfortable which was a nice surprise.

                  I once saw a helmet sticking up through an open sunroof at an autocross.

                          I have clear sidemarkers and corners on my black m3.  I think orange looks better on black.  Want to trade?  I don't think my corners work on a coupe though.  I have a sedan.  Happy to mail you my sidemarkers though.  Let me know

                            Unfortunately the corners won't work like you said, but I'd be willing to make the swap on the side markers! I'll send you a PM.

                              On a side note, that rust spot is starting to looks pretty nasty... the last winter or two haven't been too kind and it's doubled in size. If anyone comes across a white/rust free trunk lid for an e36 coupe without a spoiler, let me know.

                                That's almost the same spot I had on my alpine e36.  Rust and e36's are one in the same unfortunately.  Have you checked to see if it's too deep to grind and repaint?

                                  I haven't really messed with it. I actually have a can of color matched paint, that nicer catalyzed clear coat, and all the stuff needed for the repair as I was planning on doing it this past summer but that never happened. It's just easier to bolt on a new lid haha

                                    I'd say give it a shot and if you fuck it up then you buy a new one!  You arent out any money if you've already got the supplies.

                                      I would just save the paint and bolt a new deck lid on too.

                                        My daily craigslist browsing paid off big time today! Picked up this engine bay candy after work today:

                                        32631396161ea6dc7ddf5b.jpg

                                        This isn't your average strut bar, it's an extremely rare (and legit, all the part number stampings are there) Genuine BMW e36 M3 LTW strut bar. I didn't get the shoulder nuts needed to mount it, but fortunately they are still available from the dealer for pretty cheap. Probably going to hold off on mounting it till the summer to keep the salt off it...

                                          Turn it into a super fancy coat rack
