my '87 327i

[squidmaster]

thanks :)

Here are some interior shots


The back is actually pretty clean. I like that.


What?! It's missing the hood release lever?! I guess he thought that just slapping this wrench on there would be the same, but don't worry, just got in a hood release. I'll have that on there tomorrow :)

zebra console FTW.
this thread has motivate me to endeavor on my wildest dreams, tomorrow I'm getting giraffe console, tiger dash, cheetah carpet, and zebra cards and seats :D

[squidmaster]

Don't forget the shag-rug dash!

[ohthejosh]

and some taxi driver seat beads, rear view dice and a quality steering wheel knob.

i deem your interior safari trashed out.

[JT325is]

his dog chewed on the steering wheel? wtf bro

[squidmaster]

trying to get a sport wheel from a local guy to replace that, but damn no one ever wants to email me back.

I feel that I get one response per 30 emails that I send, and then why I try to make arrangements to buy something I just never get a response.

Going to a upullupay tomorrow to check to see if they have any e30s.
I need a gas pedal, fuse box cover, floor mats, driver's seat, center console, dash, gauge cluster, CPS (maybe), and, if I can find it, a lighted rear-view.

Has some weird hesitations and feels pretty bogged down as well; going to seafoam it. Was going to before I changed the oil BUT I COMPLETELY FORGOT :(

[squidmaster]

wow, only could find ONE e30 in a salvage yard and it had been picked dry....

I was expecting plenty of them being older and popular.
well... looking for some parts if anyone happens to have them!

Good luck saving that

[squidmaster]

Things I've gotten in and need to install:

fuel filter
spark plugs (bosch +)
shifter
random lights that needed replaced

I also removed the orange lights and orange diffuser on the cluster.

I've ordered (but still waiting to come in)
KYB GR2 struts
vogtland springs
TPS
RacingDynamics DME chip (got it for cheap or I wouldn't have wasted time on a chip)

Out of spendable money at the moment, though.

I live in an apartment which makes working on my car difficult since they won't even let me change my oil.

redid the center console tonight.
was going to leave it with the factory finish, but it was completely ruined by glue. I couldn't get it off with anything.


going on


installed:



yeah, that's black corduroy B-]

[squidmaster]

Not perfect but it looks (and feels) damn good.

[Nsquared97]

I've got to say that console definitely is different, how exactly did you go about doing that?

[squidmaster]

get stretch(ish) corduroy fabric (jo-anns, michaels, etc)
use spray adhesive
stretch and fit :)

It's stock(ish) looking, but feels amazing and looks way better than that damned zebra shit.

[FunfGan]

Do the rest of the dash, and carpet like that. Then seat inserts. :pimp:

Seriously, that be bangin'.
