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

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.

yes, big improvement

Got a deal on some clear tails, liking how it looks! Eventually I'll get some clear side markers and front signals
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.

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:

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
-
That is an amazing find! May I ask what you paid?
Lets just say it would've been more expensive to buy a used aftermarket one...
