    Buffed out the paint with some Meguiar's. Changed the oil and filter. Finally fixed the anti rattle clip as it was rattling!?

    Figured out that if I let the rpm's drop to 1500 it shifts a lot smoother, to bad it takes so damn long for them to drop that low.

    Gave away my BMWs, driving a VW and an Audi now.

    Took a couple pictures with the cellphone (my parents have the camera and are on vacation) so that I can finally make the sig (as you can see it) with the car in its current state.

    I don't know why, but I like your style. I think it looks great the way it is. Nice.

    Thanks.

    I'd say I'm rolling fairly well on a budget.

    So far I'm only like 3500 into this thing and that's including the car itself, wheels, tires, lighting all around, spark plugs and a few other random bits.

    Honestly the only thing I kinda want to do at some point is lower it a little bit, but I don't really mind it the way it is right now.

    I like the contrast. Would paint only if I had skirts + some kind of non-stock front bumper. I think the stock bare rockers and bumper look cheesy when painted (and even more so in white).

    Replaced the gas mileage/odometer bulb behind the cluster. First time I've removed the E36 gauges. Not horrible, but thanks the the BF.C member who mentioned to PUSH on the lower half while prying the top down and towards you...made ALL the difference!

    Left it parked in the garage, yesterday drove it in hot weather (88F) and finally got my new temp gauge to get up to almost 180. Factory gauge was just a hair over half.

    Did the parking light delete mod. By far the easiest mod ever. Looks a lot cleaner with just lows and fogs on at night.

    Well, I woke up around 12:30(days off you know) and went to my car and it turns out that someone decided to throw an egg at it. I was . So i decided this day was dedicated entirely to the car. Went to the auto store and bought some Turtle Wax Rubbing compund/Paint Cleaner and ICE wax. Car looks amazing. Right after i got done with her i parked her at the end of the driveway where she was hit to taunt those SOB's. Amazing how one egg can make a car look eh? (Who only throws one egg anyway?)

    Interesting thread. Although a little dispiriting to see how effective some people are compared to me!! lol..

    Not today, but over the weekend I took out a LOT of rust. Sanded to the metal on the wheel arches of three wings, bottom of all the doors and spot under the trunk lid.

    Got it primed, painted and ready for a final rub down and polish.

    Not a pro job. Far from it. But WAY better than having a crap load of rust showing.
