Default Finally a quick pic

Well I finally took a quick pic of my ti today. She needs a bath really bad so I will post more when I get time to clean her up. Yes I know she desperately needs to be lowered. LOL. Anyone got any sweet deals on a set of springs?

Nice color! Silver defo ranks high in my book!

Do I see a bit of paint chipping off the side molding though? Or is that dirt?

GalNa that is paint missing unfortunately. I've got some stuff to repair from the previous owner's abuse. Have a list of parts to get to get everything back to top shape. If anyone comes across a sunroof motor for a cali top let me know because the gear is stripped in mine. The new regulator assembly for the pass. door should be in this week.

ATF I just talked to a guy about the suspension from his very low mileage M coupe that he just swapped out for konis and springs.

Due to the car getting such great gas mileage and being an automatic I only plan on doing dress up mods. I really love this car it has totally surprised me. Hopefully in the next month or so I plan on repainting the car too.

Make sure the rear suspension fits, our cars have E30 rear suspension. I believe the rear of the 1.9 Z3 works, don't quote me.

It does have the same suspension. I was sure to check into that. You could say he's pretty much giving me the suspension. Must be nice to be loaded and just toss parts to the side when you try something new. I've also got the M3 front sway bar on it's way as well. Just got to get time to swap everything if I can park the car long enough. My bug's in the shop so I have to use the ti every day.

Mine didn't come with them and one of the filler panels was missing so I took the other one out.
