what car would make you want to sell this wagon?? interested in knowing/seeing!!

Nina, she will make you do crazy things.

I've been enjoying the vert for a couple of weeks, decided to take the wagon out and for a ride so the ECU can relearn since I disconnected the battery.

WOW! What a machine! I totally forgot what she can do.

Been taking my sweet time reinstalling the rear seats as I rather be out enjoying the great weather we have been getting. Today the rain came back so I took advantage of it to get the rest of Tim's work reinstalled.





Pics of the recarpeted seat backs and bottoms





I chose to have the rear seats redone to only accommodate 2 passengers so the extra OEM seat belt and receiver was deleted





Seatbelt receivers reinstalled, how they look when in use and when stored.





Side trim panels reinstalled




Rear headrests were deleted for a much cleaner look

My friend Ritchie helped me repaint the cluster needles orange. I didn't think painting the econometer needle would have made such a difference to how the cluster looks.

Looking great man. Love the seats and the needles look great :)

[bradnic]

gauges really look good?

what's the story with the brake / brake fluid indicator lights? seems like they replace the ABS light?

was the MPH gauge retrofitted?

any plans for rear fogs?

thanks Wilson

That would be seriously frustrating. You aren't alone though. I have a mystery sometimes happens/most of the times doesn't leak in the trunk of my E30.

I like the way they look too. I wonder what the dimensions are of the touring rear window vs the coupes.

Do you or anyone her have any idea as to how to get pop out rear windows on the touring?

Best needle "paint job" I've ever seen OP. Did it on my e46 and removed it the same day, I could see the streaks! What did you use?

Ritchie cleaned off the old white paint, then using his airbrush he sprayed on primer and then the orange enamel.

Haven't done much to the wagon since I got Nina back, other than collecting a bunch of parts.

Here is the latest goodie I found for my Momo Monte Carlo wheel

The top cluster is a VDO Euro spec from the touring, the bottom cluster is a Motometer from the USA spec convertible.

What the difference with the indicator lights are I do not know.

Finally decided to get her into Winter mode.

Took her out for a drive and I forgot just how much fun she is to rip around in! The needle hits 100kph a lot faster than in the vert.

Looks awesome! The seats are killer.

wow - awesome job painting those needles.
