    Thanks everyone for all the encouragement!!
    And I have changed my mind on the color, it doesn't do the car justice,
    But it will probably end up grey as that was my final intention anyway.

    Right now (literally) I'm taking out my sunroof and tracks to get to my moldy
    Headliner that I'm pulling out, does anyone know where to find an oem headliner?
    Or atleast one that isn't moldy? All the Pull-A-Parts I have been to don't have
    any headliners worth pulling and I'd like to have one rather than framework..

    Thanks for the words of encouragement and check back soon!!

      Hey everyone, so I've been doing some thinking and my girlfriend has also suggested some things
      and I wanted to just kinda toss out an idea, I'm running out of money and kinda have three options
      at this point, either sell the E30 and save up for a few months and get something in better condition,
      with a motor. Or use this as a purpose built racecar, which I don't want to do because I wanted this
      to be a complete daily driver. OR stick with it, and keep on keepin' on until it's done and running which would take several years. So sell it and buy something with a motor. Make it a racecar and have to tow it around and get another car as a daily. Or keep going and not have it running or another car until I'm 18 or so... What do you think? I just wanted some opinions..

      Thanks for looking!

        Keep going with it man. Save your money till you can really do what you want with this car. You have a good start, don't give up now.

            So here is the update of what has happened since it's been in the garage.

            The headliner removal, starting from the back I took out the back window and pulled the
            weather stripping down and etc. etc.

            A few non descriptive pictures of random parts of the car as I remove the headliner

            After I took out the sun visors and all that
            [IMG]2012-05-31 15.43.38[/IMG]

            This is my sunroof and the sun visor panel, that little ball of insulation is all that was there
            [IMG]2012-05-31 15.44.14[/IMG]

            As I tried to pry out the windshield it kinda broke....
            Has this happened to anyone else? I've taken out a rear window this way twice before
            And it came out unharmed, so.... Yeah...
            [IMG]2012-05-31 16.28.28[/IMG]

            So I discovered the reason for my low rear end and negative camber, the previous
            Owner cut the springs, but this one is sorta not in the right place
            [IMG]2012-06-01 15.43.49[/IMG]

            A close up, should I just jack it up, reposition it, and let it back down?
            Or should I flip them so that the pigtail end is up? It would seem safer that way..
            [IMG]2012-06-01 15.41.00[/IMG]

            I could always just leave it for now as lowering it wasn't even close to my first
            priority..

            Thanks for looking!!

                It looks like You used crowbar to get that windshield out
                The best way to remove it is to push it out with the legs God gave You

                  Trust me I know, I need a friend that can weld.

                  It was actually a flat head screwdriver, and I ended up pushing it out like that, which
                  broke it even more...

                    Nice man. I wish I made this much progress on my shell. Especially 10 years ago when I was your age. Shit.

                    Keep doin it! And fuck getting a friend that can weld, you just need to watch some youtube videos and go out there yourself. (FWIW I cannot weld)

                      It looks like you didn't grind the paint off or use a shielding gas. Both are a must when welding. Unless you are stick welding, then you just need to prep both areas.

                          Ahah, thanks. And trust me, youtube is my sensei for everything xD

                          I ground off paint all around each hole about 3 inches from the edge, and I'm also using
                          a 120 watt flux wire welder from harbor freight, I saw a guy doing PERFECT welds on
                          youtube with the exact same welder so it's just me, not sure what I'm doing wrong

                              Good work so far, keep it up. Oh and that new color is going to look so good.
