Thats the worry about getting it pro-done, is any turn around time. Especially if I go the hook up route.

I'm starting to wish I kept the ford, the biggest thing I had ton consider for it was "do I bother to shoot some water in it's direction this month?"

I can't even decide on a damn color! If I pick a solid, no thrills color, it's getting a rustoleum job. I only care to go pro if I decide to stick with the factory metal flaked dark gray.

In the past 30 seconds I've decided I may go the 2-lane blacktop 55 chevy route

Epic paintjob from an epic film.

Can't go wrong with that. Plus you could instantly identify cool people: they'd be the ones who could identify that iconic weathered gray paint job. I can't remember how they pulled that effect off now, maybe just splashed thinner on a fresh coat of paint?

Well Rustoleum just won the war

I'm going to see if I can find it in a normal can so I can roll it on with a foam roller images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

This looks like it could match my factory paint pretty god damned close!

There is that exact same car with the same exact paintjob in my neighborhood. Scares the fuck out of me even during daylight.

+ "Metric Mechanic 2.1 m42" via YouTube

When I was still in Missouri a member of M42club had his motor built by them (IIRC his was the first of these done), I got to try it out. I will have one in my 4 door, oh yes, it will be mine.

ARG! Fuck the previous owner(s). Some ass hat decided "hey lets weld the shock shaft lock nut onto the shock."

I've spent the last hour grinding and chiseling it down to try and get the nut loose so I can replace my VERY badly worn out top hat.

GDPOs appear to be the same everywhere.... no matter what the marque or location. images/smilies/tongue.gif

{looks at the two pounds of wire that is the remains of a badly installed 80's cell phone kit from his Series III, freshly removed from the car}

Fucking wicked. I've been looking at the original thread that started really kicked the rustoleum thing off into high gear

Sadly the color I need/want I can't get but in spray cans. images/smilies/sad.gif

Maybe I'll copy the corvair and go white with a blue stripe images/smilies/tongue.gif

edit: I'd have repped you but I have to pass it around.

I just completed this mod

Makes having funky fucked up door locks no longer a problem...until my battery dies images/smilies/tongue.gif

Spectre · May 3rd, 2009, 3:31 AM

That same $30 could have got you a decent older NIB CodeAlarm with careful eBay shopping. images/smilies/biggrin.gif

thedguy · May 3rd, 2009, 8:38 AM

I only cared to be able to lock/unlock my doors without the key images/smilies/dunno.gif

So I'm tempted by the panasports, but unsure how they look on the e30...thoughts?

Perhaps I should paint this on the car, at least until it gets painted images/smilies/tongue.gif

Dr_Grip · May 5th, 2009, 1:23 AM

Why do you want you car to read "another shit E30"?

thedguy · May 5th, 2009, 4:06 AM

Mine 1) looks like shit and 2) BMW's are a dime a dozen out here.

3) it might make for an interesting conversation piece. images/smilies/dunno.gif
