I still have the tow hook area and a little bit of the headlight bucket area to contend with, then the entire passenger side will be done.

From then on, it's just the driver's floor and anything in the driver's wheel well.

I'm close! Oh and I spoke with my friend with the E30 he wants painted some sort of gunmetal color. He said he thinks it would actually be cool if we both had the same color car. So I guess Gunmetal it is!

The grey will definitely look great with the blue. Only a few more spots stand in my way.:)

Today I went out to buy...

"Seam sealer" :laugh:

3.50 a tube. I bought two. Have used one. $7.00



Here's some pictures of today's patch o rama. Using up every last bit of scrap I can manage. It's kinda funny.

A little more paint to hide the horrors. :)




Then after a little seam sealer was applied and allowed to do it's thing. I got to put together the passenger interior, sans door jam trim pieces.

It's a nice change from the last couple days.

Tonight I was tired, but I managed to strip some of the drivers floor sound deadening. The driver's floor, as to be expected, was a little more worse for wear than the passenger's. However the driver's rocker panel is in tact, so I don't have to fix that at least.

Yeah. It hasn't been bad really.

My time log says 21 "days" of work time. But "days" on average means 2-3 hours a day. Sometimes more. So by that logic at most 100 hours or so.

Really not much. As far as projects go. I'm well into my 3000+ hours on my 240.

And the price to build this car will go down once more, once I scrap my two catalytic converters from the old exhaust and my donor car.

So I'm still around 600 bucks total to date, in my mind.
