Well I have done a few more things to Gretchen over the last few months... Rims, new fuel hoses put in today and other essential things...

In the works (getting a cheap beater to drive while she's down) is powdercoating the valve cover and doing the gasket and grommets, finish replacing all the clips, screws and etc that were missing, pop the side dent out and put the trim back on for now, and replace the tranny cooler lines and seals. I have everything already but the tranny cooler lines... :redspot and the euro bumper trim/euro front plate mount Which will be ordered here next week. Then come spring, the body and paint will be done and I am having my rims refinished with a different center color. Probably BBS gold and match the valve cover to it... :D Anyways sorry for the new pic quality, it is my phone and not my digi...

Anyway here are some pics when I bought it in Feb '07:

What are Euro fogs?

Ellipsoid H1 fogs. In the pics, they look like circles in the fogs.

Thank you guys! she is still a bit rough but my little german schnitzel is indeed coming along nicely!!!

Anyways, the wheels are VERY rare and no longer made... They are 17X8 Fittipaldi 3-piece racing wheels with removable emblems so I can put bimmer roundels in. Tires are 235/50/17 for now until I lower it in a month or so. Got them from an ex-e32 owner for $400 with new tires on them... deal?!!!! oh yes deal!!!

The euro fogs are indeed H1 and give a round light in the center of the fogs instead of lighting up the whole lens... having all 4 lights like this makes the car look SIIIIIICK at night with the 4 small light dots it has... looks cool in the reflection of truck beds, cars, etc...

Anyways, suggestions are in need and appreciated!!!! I want this thing to be EEEEEEEEEEEEEVIL.....

whats also funny is that there are only about 4 other e34's and maybe 3-4 e32's in my town that all have nicer paint and less dents than I (for now...), but I get all the looks cause of engine note and upgrades... Oh and the red interior lights.. (thanks to who posted that mod... I will find names later!...)

Big upgrade.
