Wind deflector installed
Attachment 606485 Finally all the floor sound proof and heat insulator installed. Attachment 606486 So far this is it.... I'll be sending the car shortly to the electrics guy.... Will be using the original harness and rebuild whatever that needs to. After this will be working on the both front and rear shocks and springs. Maybe coilovers..... still thinking....... I want to lower it just a bit and still make the ride comfortable. |

For the wheels - how did you restore those? Or are the new, old stock? Originally I wanted to restore them, however there is no one who does the kind of work required to take the wheels back to "like new" condition in Costa Rica. At some point thought about shipping them to the states but it was gonna be EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE to send the wheels, have them refinish and sent back to Costa Rica, so I gave up the idea and just a few days after I found this new old stock wheels for sale in Europe, so I didn't hesitate and bought them. Those guys do that kind of work. Kwicksilver Wheel Repair ? Rim Repair & Alloy Wheel Repair Franchise » CNC Machining |

Luxury car quiet with our noise insulation products Luxury Liner? Luxury Liner Pro? | Second Skin Audio, Made in the USA. I'm not sure how much sound dampening I want on this car anymore... Gotta drive it first and see what kind of squeaks and rattles I end up with. Mazda definitely found an amazing balance of lightness and quality. This chassis on my car has 153k miles on it and is 34yrs old and has less flex than an e36 M3, and noticeably better in every way vs. my Tin Can 94 Acura Integra. |

I need to rewire all the car and then I will throw this Vinyl and then the carpet with all the interior. Let's see how it goes! Regarding the e36 M3, well, back in the good old days cars were meant to last. Nowdays...NADA!!!! BTW, I should change my Avatar picture right??? |

Oh that, yes, it will come definitely!!!!! It's quite heavy and thick though. I need to rewire all the car and then I will throw this Vinyl and then the carpet with all the interior. Let's see how it goes! Regarding the e36 M3, well, back in the good old days cars were meant to last. Nowdays...NADA!!!! BTW, I should change my Avatar picture right??? I think my priorities on the car have matured a bit and it's going to be: 1) Get the thing running with 3-Stage Injection and make sure the motor can handle what I'm about to throw at it. 2) Get the thing driving with a finalized front suspension, new CF/7075 AL beefy driveshaft, etc 3) Worry about the crazy rewire/battery relocation/huge alternator and circuits. Install Alarm 4) Reinstall the amazing condition OEM interior and see how it all works out. From there I'll decide how much of everything is necessary. 5) Drive better. |
Looking Good Bro!
