Brake - a device for slowing or stopping a vehicle or other moving mechanism by the absorption or transfer of the energy of momentum, usually by means of friction.

Break - to smash, split, or divide into parts violently; reduce to pieces or fragments

I just put in the new windshield today and got headlights and fuel pump working. it looks like the brakes weren't leaking, but it was 1.25 gallons low on antifreeze.

now the only thing left is to get the last 3 side markers working. they have new bulbs and one is lighting up, but the rears and front passenger side wont do anything. any ideas?

Unplug the last one so it matches.

good call, i guess that should make it pass inspection till i fix the problem. PO left alot of stuff half done.

so MASSIVE update. I got a job working at Bimmer Rescue in Richmond, so if you need work done come by because i dont get to work or get paid if we have no cars. (tell Patrick I referred you) He motivated me to do all the work I have been putting off for over a year to get ready for the Vintage.

I fixed the rust holes:











(first time welding)







trans mounts, CSB, and guibo were beyond shot...

















cut, polished, and waxed the paint!



shadow lined the trim to make the pop out windows match



and now i have water that will bead and no green rubs off when you touch it!



interior pics with the installed carpet and trim soon! also straightened the valence out. overall a crazy amount of work for one week, but im am thoroughly impressed and completely in love again. its come so far since i bought it.
