As many of you know I am rebuilding an e30....

Currently I have taken of the exteriour details, I got a custom body kit (I don't really like the metal bumpers) and I am overhauling the body and getting a new paint job.

With regards to the interiour, it will stay the same, but I would like to get some products to recondition the leather interiour. It has a worn look, but no cracks or cuts.

Suspension: I got bilstein sport shocks and B+G springs (1.6inch drop). It says I need to reutilise the stock protective boot and bumpstop, but I want to order new ones.

Brakes: Nothing really bought. I have some new OEM disks that were given to me, and I want to buy some new pads. Suggestions are more than welcome. I will keep the original brake lines, but eventually I was thinking steel braded.

Wheels and rims: Presently I purchased Enkei shogun 17inch rims with Dunlop FM 901's tires... However, I have a friend that wants em, and I am totally in love with SSR Competition rims 16inch... with maybe some Khumo's. Spotted them on Tire rack, so I will most likely change when the financial situation allows.

Misc.: I plan on changing the fluids, spark plugs, filters, etc. Would like some info about whether I should change some wiring or what have you. Also I am thinking of changing the bushings and stuff. Can anyone give me a run down of what to change?

Well that is what I am up to thus far... If anyone has some constructive critisims or info... I am all ears...

My msn is flamegirl1980@hotmail.com

And I have a set of 4 Alpina classic wheels 16x7 for the front and 16x8 for the rear. If you are interested.

Im shure it will be a nice car

For reconditioning the leather

You should ask HUY on mr.com for advice on the product to use.

he knows detailing and detailing products very well. Or have him directly restore and recondition your interior. He's like THE detailing guru.

I will be posting pics when I get a chance... well there was a lot more rust than we originally thought when we started taking off the pitch and stuff like that. So it will take more time to fix up and a bit more cash... sigh...
