I know a thing or two about cleaning E30 M3s...

Just rounded the third year anniversary on my build.

Running and driving to rotisserie-level teardown (underside was fine so it didnt go on an actual rotisserie).

10 month full body correction (dents/dings) and respray

Took all wiring out, all old tape off, cleaned every inch of wire, all new tape back on.

Everything either restored to new or replaced with new. Including all stickers and vin tags

New interior will be next step

Ha, the car's come a long way. Went from "fix this and that" to "rolling resto" to "this will be better than new"

I spent probably 10 hours researching and re-creating sticker for the fuse box with my sticker guy in the UK.

Oh yeah, and I've re-zinc plated every fastener on the car. Even stripped new ones from BMW and re-plated them like they were done in the 80s (gold zinc, not aluminum looking like today).

The car has become an aggregation of extremely intricate, detailed projects.

Hoping to be done this time next year.

My E30 M3 zinno is being restored too, although not quite to the level of detail you are going into. Going built 2.5 route.

Can you PM me your source for engine bay stickers?
