well a couple of days ago i managed to sell my subs and amp
for a pretty damn sweet mark up
i payed 400... i got 600:D
so now i finally had the money to start all those little projects i have been putting off and putting off
so i went to a local shop and spent a little money
what i got
3 stage cleaner/polish/wax for the exterior
leather cleaner and a leather conditioner
all of that stuff is by mothers
a buffer
some 1500 and 2000 grit wet sand
a big as bottle of that stain remover stuff
and so now i have some things to do
yesterday i got to test out the leather cleaner and conditioner
and well Im sure that i cant be the only one out there with that horrible grim and grease on their steering wheel shifter and e brake
well i figured what better test subjects than those
it took some serious elbow grease but i managed to get it all out!
the steering wheel looks like its new from the factory
the shifter and e brake look amazing
so i went onto the dash and used some plastic treater i had laying around
and that too worked great everything has that sorta.... wet look to it...
and its been there for the night so it aint going away too fast
this is the start
i will be taking pictures today of the interior
and such
the paint is gunna be a big undertaking but im stoked

Interesting; I didn't realize that the E30's had a motorsport interior as well. I saw the bolsters and cloth and instantly assumed that they were vaders from an E36 M3.
