Project E30

[Chris]

The winter overhaul begins. Here are some things I've completed in the last month or so.

I re-mounted all my harnesses. I didn't like the hardware bolted flat to the floors, so I bought new eye bolts and clips.

Before- bolted flat:



Parts used:




After:







I also spray painted the interior and trunk. I went with a metallic silver to complement the future exterior color.

Trunk before (aluminum foil works great for covering wires!):



Roll bar before:



Trunk after:



Roll bar and doors:





Front floors (I used this awesome "rock" textured spray paint, which dries like sandpaper- perfect for wet shoes)






What I learned painting: I was outside for ventilation but it still was too windy and now I have some overspray to cleanup. Preparation is key... I didn't spend enough time, therefore have some cleanup. I guess you can't be in too much of a hurry. Aluminum foil works great for covering wires and other parts. The textured spray paint is great for floors. I kept the back shelf flat black so the sun's glare doesn't reflect on the back glass.
