i had thought about those but couldnt seem to find any. thanks for the link!

Oh shit!

As if it weren't already said, don't sell the Cosby cloth seats!

Looks like a fantastic resto project so far. Keep up the top work!

saw those wheels for sale this past week. good snag. good work so far too. always a pain fixing p.o. interior and exterior issues.

Nice work so far, never fun fixing annoying PO "fixes" lol

those wheels, goddamn this is gonna be good.

thanks guys, i appreciate it and need all the motivation i can get!

Loving this M3 man, I like your attention to detail with all the missing pieces and stuff. I don't know if my car is missing that many pieces or I'm just lazy and don't notice them gone. Since your local there is a meet next saturday night and you should join us.

dammit i work next sat, but pm when the next one pops up and i will def. show up. ive been trying to find some more local meet ups, san jose is a bit much most of the time haha.

who keeps editing the tags asking for noodz?

no idea, but its classless

Damn, they're going to look awesome on it! Sub'd

been sanding and sanding and resanding-they are scratched and pitted and its not coming out-maybe powder coat a bronze color? or all black eeerrything? i dont know gonna sanding and polishing.....







ive since sanded some more but didnt step the grit right and will have to redo so thats all for now


soo for a few days i thought i smelled coolant .






so i redid the cooling system finally


on da street like a freakin hobo, people staring at me like im crazy, one lady asked me if i had a tow truck coming


theres only like 500miles on this rad, its fo sale if anyones interested 90 bucks?


i was freaking out cause i didnt have another gasket....


but then i remembered i had one in box some where!!


new vs old, big diiference

making some progress



new tank w brass bleeder, those stupid plastic ones can ruin a day.

buttoned up


the rad fit great and looked to be great quality, my only gripe is that its made in china and i wish i would of spent more and got one that was made in the us, cause the chinese govt can suck my dick
the fan delete feels great btw
also if you go this route know that the fan shroud clips do not fit anymore, the shroud now bolts on, which i didnt have anything that fit but will get some bolts here soon.
pic for ref


finished it up with a dark and stormy because it my favorite, bundaberg is awesome ginger beer, just as good as barretts if your down with these drinks...

[creaney]

[NeilP]

Bundaberg is the best.

Always have to take a deep sniff every time I open a bottle!

[parttimeprojectionist]

i love bundaberg, was very happy to find it in the stores in SF! its the only ginger beer i can drink straight, love your zed 4 btw, cant believe it swallowed up those x5 rims, and cant wait to see whats next.

[parttimeprojectionist]

getting closer on the rims.

this was after the like 3rd time of applying stripper? the black/purple wouldnt come off


it threw it together with the polished out lip and wayla


old and new hangin out together in the closet


refinish the centers

full polish?
maybe just polish the outer part and then clear
some color in the spokes i kinda liked the deep purple

any suggestions

[244Brick]

I'd polish the faces and paint the inserts body color, white or tan

[dattugrut]

liking the new radiator setup.

going back to the topic of previous owners. the previous owner of my e39 had epoxied the shift knob on, i wasn't aware of this until it came time to replace it. all the diy's say "pull up hard/ away from your face". sure enough i did just that and dislocated the whole shifter linkage. I was planning on replacing all the bushings anyway, but that was a nice night under the carport...

[chris432]

keep up the good work!

[Earl]

I think brushing the faces and doing the inserts a metallic silver would be very classy.
