            Never updated here=P Here was the last update:

            The car has been in storage for about a week and a half. Not enjoying driving my MK3 instead of it daily=P Wheels still havent sold, which prolongs the process of me refinishing the next set. I will not say what the next set is, but I'm either keeping them 9" front and 10" rear, or going to 10" front and 11" rear. I like the later option better=D

            Here are some pictures of my style 5's up for grabs.

            And now the current update. Finally got it pulled into the shop to tear down. Motor will come out shortly. Started doing some peeling action with the GF. Also picking up a MOMO hub adapter tomorrow so I can throw the Grip Royal on for pictures before I tear out the interior.

                Not much at all. However, the girlfriend was thouroughly enjoying it, and got most of that done herself=)

                  I finally installed my Grip Royal and ashtray on saturday but couldn't get good enough lighting for a nice picture of it. I also peeled all of the plastidip, besides the bumpers. Then I started to get ready to shave, tuck, and rip out the lump=)

                  Posted Image

                  More updates will come after Saturday. Hopefully the motor will be out, or the strut towers will be shaved from the strut mount forward.

                      I labelled the harness and removed a few more things Saturday, since no one could come help me yank it out. Also got a really crappy picture of my interior. I made it black and white because the picture made the wood look very bright, when it is a pretty deep cherry color.

                          The M42 is going back in=) Just freshened up with new gaskets, COP setup, and some schnazy paint.

                            Please tell me you're not gonna do anything stupid with the engine bay like some bright color or metal flake. I know your VW buddies would think it's cool, but trust me you'd regret it :P

                              It'll go back to a nice shade of simple black;) This is just going to be a subtle looking, cleanly modded Ti;) It won't be quick, but it'll look good. At least that's what I'm going for

                                Thank you=)

                                I stumbled upon this picture the other day. Someone took it while I was attending Eurowerks 6. This was the day after I sprayed on the plastidip. I wish I would have just cut bump stop then and been as low as I currently was. I also stumbled upon another that I will upload afterwhile.

                                    Working on it. Need the Style 5's sold first. They're being held for me so it's no big deal. I did pick up another set of Style 5's to refinish the barrels and sell them in pieces.

                                    Found it=) Excuse my very dirty windshield.

                                        5x120= useless for your E30. SON. Unless you're looking for the 330

                                          lol they're 17x8 et20

                                          Edit: I have 205/40 tires on it that didn't stretch whatsoever. It should be a mild nice stretch, but they ended up just being flush. Still looks nice and gives room.
