Thanks, man! You need one. E30s are such timeless cars and are [usually] a pleasure to work on.

The E36 is "done", aka I'm not doing anything else to it before I sell it. The car cleaned up very well, and despite the fact that whatever lowering springs I was sold are INSANELY low and look like ass, the car rides 100,000x better with all of the fresh bushings/struts throughout the car. I really, really want to find a nicer E36 some day, they are great cars.

The poly RTABs with the sandwich bushings to secure them better in their mounts.






On the E30 I re sealed the diff and installed it onto the rear subframe. I began re-booting my rear halfshafts, only to realize the joints are too far gone, so I had to order remans from FEQ which are supposedly decent quality.

I inspected a few things and found that my fuel feed line on the E30 is shot, so I ordered one. I also ended up having to order a speed sensor for the diff as the one I had was very brittle.

"its the little things"
