Earl Posted March 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Spent all afternoon yesterday afternoon and then today up until now cleaning inside. It looks okay. Wish it was cleaner but it is a ton cleaner than before. At the end of Yesterday: Where I picked back up today. Got a shampooer and got sick of doing the carpet. Here is step by step putting it all back in. http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz230/earlcharlesmeyeriii/IMAG0446.jpg http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz230/earlcharlesmeyeriii/IMAG0447.jpg The hatch area carpet and sides are made out of that particle like material with a natty carpet and i cant get all the little snibbled out of it for the life of me. Id have to have a super sucking vaccum to get it all off. Hopefully I can put the rest of my time this next week polishing/sandin the Style 5 lips and reassembling the wheels.

straight6pwr Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 car is looking super clean. cant wait to see those wheels done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted March 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Thanks. And I can't wait either. Lol I polished them three times already and noticed little lines making them look dull. Now I have to go back down to 220 to sand down sone machining lines and around the outer edge of the lip. Then go all the way back up to 2000 and then three different kinds of rouges:P shits annoying. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

straight6pwr Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 never heard of that stuff. looks like a great product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted May 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Lots of sanding and polishoing and sanding has been going on with the wheels. I can't seem to get the finish I want. Always a little line I see that I take out. lolBut onto a question. My car needs paint. I have two colors I'm debating. It will either be Cosmos or Diamond. I like the idea of Diamond because I've never been a huge fan of black, but it won't match my jams and bay. Also because it only came on a very very small number of e36's. I was thinking Cosmos because it would match my jams and bay and would be metallic. It would also look really good in the light compared to plain gloss black. So what do you guys think, Cosmos or Diamond?P.S.- TJ, no smart ass comments=P lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straight6pwr Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 i think plain gloss black looks better in the light than cosmos. to me cosmos always just looks like you have black paint covered with a layer of dust/dirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted May 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 ^I like that look though. Plus Cosmos is easier to maintain than Schwarz II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M20_fever Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Match whatever your jambs/bay/deck lid undersides are. Nothing screams cheap ass ricer more than opening the door and seeing a different color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted May 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 That's why cosmos would work better. It is pretty much just Schwarz II with metal flake and I believe a little pearl. They all revolve around black=) If I got Diamond Schwarz I would get paint mixed after the fact and spray the Jams myself. I like Diamond Schwarz more than Cosmos myself, but I don't believe it would blend into the jams well and thats the tradeoff. Bay color really doesn't matter to me because I won't have it open for anyone to see unless there is a different motor ever. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted May 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Im thinking of selling/trading the Ti for a unicycle. I'm sick of getting 36 miles per gallon and unicycles are pretty good on gas I hear. We will see what's up in the coming weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Posted May 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 As in the m tech model Lol Mileage? Price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan... Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Its not a legit Mtech, just an M bumper. 195k, guy is asking $3600 obo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 I hope it isn't a 95 of he is asking that price. And she better be rust free. Lol the 95's for some reason are worth significantly less. Ti's aren't worth anywhere near as much as their sisters. And does it have fat trim and m style rear bumper? That'd be a sport model then.Edit: FYI, mine had 148,000 miles and was rust free and I paid $2200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
