Ya. I will have no interior, but I'll stick a seat from the 325iS in there and drive it over. I need help fitting the top and getting the motor to work :)Originally posted by kencopperwheat View PostComment

Dude nice. So you're going to have the seats redone professionally too? Awesome stuff, can't wait to see what you do to it once you clean it up.
What are you going to use for the wheels? Pressure washer?Reminiscing...Comment

Ya the seats will be professionally redone. Some of the foam is missing, some has mold. So they will need a lot of work. But they do have seat heaters, and I'm not sure how easy ti would be to transfer those to new seats so I'm thinking I'll keep these ones.Originally posted by M42Technik View Post
I have a line on some special industrial cleaner called 'orange clean'. From what I hear, it's amazing and will clean just about anything. If that doesn't work, the pressure washer is next :)Comment

Probably put $1000 in value back in the car just with the cleaning you've done so far!!Aaron

Clean the wheels as good as you can then use clay. That should take all that crap off. Strong cleaners will damage the finish and cause the clear coat to peel.
Good resto. I can't wait to see the finished product. You gonna have the seats redone in white?sigpicComment

I used Wheel Wax, stuff works great, but yes clay the wheels as well and you won't have to worry too much about cleaning them real well for awhile.Originally posted by DarkWing6 View PostReminiscing...Comment

Yes. I want to keep the car as close to stock as I can (i'm getting rid of that fucking ugly airbag wheel though and getting an m-tech 2 one). Oh and it'll get either new bilstein touring shocks or H&R/Billy sports.Originally posted by DarkWing6 View PostComment

But everyone has a M-tech 2 wheel... I love my "BMW Blackline"

I like that one, I've seen it on Ebay but I wasn't sure what the correct name was. I also like the Mtech 1 wheel a lot, and they're fairly inexpensive.Comment

M-Tech II = more expensive + you need to make sure you get the smaller diameter one (lots sold on eBay are the bigger diameter one)
BMW Blackline = $$$$$, made by Nardi - make sure if yo get one it includes the mounting collar, etc.Aaron

Update
So, I've been working on the car for a good week now since the last post. A lot of the work has just been cleaning and such, there is so much dirt!! I gave it a really good washing yesterday and discovered it leaks pretty bad around the passengers side window. So anyone who has any great advice to seal these things up...
The top looks like new after power washing it, I just missed a few spots that I will have to touch up
I've tried everything on these wheels, and nothing will get them clean. Any ideas are appreciated!
Time to clean the carpets! I went over them with the carpet cleaner EIGHT TIMES. Yes, 8 times. they were that dirty.
Trunk is all clean, fitted with some dynamat
Beginning to clay-bar the whole car
this thing is going to look sooooo good when it's done
More updates to come later this week. I've got some carpet and vinyl dye coming today that will really make this baby look like new!! In the mean time, anyone know a good source for a weatherstripping kit for vert roofs?Comment

Great work, keep us posted. I've always loved the 'Tech II cabs.
