My M5 restoration and other E34 stuff.

That is beautiful! I love it.

I saw a guy on bimmerforums that just removed his GC's and was looking to sell, he was somewhere in Ca. You e34 is one of my favorites and really makes me miss all of mine :(

Thank you! I wonder if it was my friend in Orange County. His are the ones I will likely purchase. I just scored a set of calipers recently. Brembo 4 pots front and rear. Now I need to see about making them work on the E34.

Put some front thrust rods and bushings in. Also ordered some fun goodies.


And for motivation to bigger things for this car...(H1 badge not included)

nice.. did you get that gauges from Raffael?

[SpecRaceM5]

Is he in Oxnard? I got everything on Ebay.

Thank you! I think it was $200 well spent. I'm really looking forward to soft new leather though. This is definitely a huge improvement for now though.

Did the same in my e30 and feel the exact same way. well worth the time and money, but will still recover at some point.

Great looking car. my first BMW was an e34.

Yeah, they have gotten pretty shitty again so I really need to think seriously about reupholstery. In due time.

Also, forgot to ask, was your car at Laguna Seca for IMSA weekend? I was pretty sure I saw it

[SpecRaceM5]

@Jb325is: Thanks! I have not started working on the brakes yet. :( I was at Laguna for IMSA. Going back for Legends of the Autobahn and Historic races!

Thanks Raul! I kinda look forward to running out of Hartge parts to buy. :)

More details on the headlight polishing. I cant seem to get a straight answer on polishing glass.

Just got am angle grinder. Figure with a few high grit sand papers and some wool and felt pads... could make them like new.

What information would you like? There are several details on what I used in this thread.
