Was the bumper oxidized, or just scuffed/scratched?

Oxidized mostly, with a lot of spotting. I still left the clear anodizing on it, just polished it up.

Interesting. Any specific product/method you recommend for getting the oxidation off? The rear bumper on my e30 could definitely use some love.

I just used buffing compound. If its really bad, you will need to sand through the anodizing and polish them. Its an extremely long and time consuming process.

More progress. I pulled the valve cover off to replace the gasket, paint the cover, paint the air box and AFS, replace the breather hose, and do the oil tube update @YoungCRmentioned earlier.

I used the Evapor-rust to clean the clips and bolts holding stuff together while I strip and paint stuff and bake it on the oven with VHT.

Before the modified oil squirter looked like this( when I finally got it out)

And after I compressed the center. This is a common fix to help add oil pressure to lubricate the front rocker arms during low RPM driving.

Do you know if the e30 lights fit the e24? I want to get some new headlights. Maybe euro ellipsoid's

I would say yes, but it would take some modification. Here is a e24 trim ring over my e30 lights. They are the same diameter, but the spacing between the lights isn't the same. *note the light holes seem larger in the e24 grills because of the chrome trim rings.

Thanks for the photos, now sell me your headlights.

Late model 88-89 had ellipsoids stock, not sure about smilies though.

Haven't been able to put the oil rail back in the car yet because I need new crush washers. I'm hoping zinbrick has some on Monday. Otherwise $10 on eBay and 1 week to arrive.

Jdesign

Waiting on crush washers to come in the mail any minute now....

In the meantime I blasted and painted the valve cover, got some new hoses, and installed a new O2 sensor.

Last night I decided to pull apart the caliper that was sticking in hopes of just cleaning it up and putting it back together to free it up. That was a giant fail as the caliper was froze so bad (probably from me driving it and getting it hot) that I had to spend 30mins just to get it off of the rotor. It was crusty but not as bad as I was expecting. I ordered new pads, clips, and a seal kit for the front calipers.

Still on the search for new front the following parts:

-Exterior-
-US Front bumper side covers (both sides) 51111869769 51111869770
-Tail lights
-Tail light surrounds
-Head lights
-Front grilles and kidneys
-Front valance

-Interior-
-Sun visor clips 51161927473
-Radio cut out 51161883811
-heater control knob
-Rear deck lid covers in Cherry

-Mechanical-
-Muffler (I might just run pipes from the resonator out the back instead)
-Front springs
-Driver side front caliper(if I cant fix what I have)
