Yeah, my old imageshack links are broken too... anyway to reup on a photobucket or something that doesn't expire Simon? I occasionally came in here for inspiration on my builds."A good memory for quotes combined with a poor memory for attribution can lead to a false sense of originality."

Hey guys.. sorry for not keeping the thread up.
Zen and the Art of Zen-thread Maintenance?
Yes - imageshack's been a real disappointment over the years. The "resizing" is on par with the broken links. Oy.
All photos are neatly stored on my hard drive - just need to upload them (again) - and this time to a more stable host/provider.
I put a lot in to the project - let alone documentation/photos shared here. On my list to address over next few winter months.
In the meantime, the car continues to be a trouble-free joy to drive - (albeit, currently up for winter).
Haven't been on r3v much as I gravitated toward motobike passions. Namely, a '72 Honda cb350 twin and a '94 Ducati 900ss/sp - both of which are of immense fun to ride - and satisfying to work on.
Someone asked about the defrosting grid. The repair goop I mentioned should be available at most auto parts stores.

so i just purchased a 91 318is and just found this thread. as lame as it sounds this thread speaks to me in the approach that im taking. the one i got needs work but isnt so far gone.
the one thing im dissapointed about (an maybe its just my computer and phone) but none of the (at least early) pictures work for me. does anyone else have this problem?

(sorry again guys about the failed photo links.. frustrating for me too.. ~1200 photos to reload is daunting/time-consuming.. have started several times, then life gets in the way.. like I have all the photos saved/categorized, but the load/wait/copy/paste/navigate/edit/post-code edit/etc. gets grueling real fast.. ) (currently going through coolant system rebuild hell.. oy.. ) (otherwise holding up great in the ~5 ? years since initial Zen-resurrection )

Thanks guys for your patience.
All ~1,200 photos have been re-hosted !
Alive and well in Madison, WI yet. Got married. Good job.
The 318is is doing great. Been as reliable as a Honda. Still a great joy to drive.
In process of (finally) having a set of euroweaves refreshed. Once that's done with new tires, I'm thinking of putting her up on Bring A Trailer with something like a $12-13K reserve and see what happens. As much as I love the car, I think it's time to pass her on to a new caretaker.. I'm itching to move on to other projects.

Its literally kept me up at night thinking what a travesty this thread was without pictures. Just didn't seem right to have all this work disappear. Cant tell you how many times Ive referred to it in the past 5-6 years.
Im so glad this is back up, if for no other reason than to just enjoy it. Thanks again for this - its really impressive, I cant say enough.
