hi bro, I think u done a great job! I have just bought my E30 1mth back, and will be doing restoration too. I hope to get a lot of advice from you. Looking at your paintwork, it looks detail. When it's done, need your comments. Mine too needs repainting. But first need to get the simple details done first.

Good job! Cheers

No prob, bro.
Me no sifu, but more than happy to share when ever possible. Cheers!

Change the tail light? to what? crystal light? If you ask me, the answer is NO! Unless you get ori smoke tail light by Hella...crystal look 'fake' if you know what I mean...
then again...it maybe just me...
