I spent a little time yesterday and a lot today cleaning 21 years of accumulated filth off of the E30's paint.

...let's just say that the car is now a different color.







I'm still tidying up the engine bay, but I'm pretty pleased with how cleanly it's turned out. I have no interest in "shaving" or getting rid of stuff, but I do want it to be reasonably tidy.

The E30 M3 wiring harness cover will go in as soon as I've added one last wire to hook up the reverse light switch.


The car still needs a few things (rear suspension bushings, the 3.25 diff that is over at Mike's, and rear wheel bearings). Next weekend, or the weekend after, we'll probably take care of those. In the meantime, it's a hoot to drive.

...and even better, once all that is taken care of, I'll be able to swap the historic plates for real ones.
