Delphingrau 1989 325i 'Elsi' Build Thread

[Wschnitz]

Rebuilt my cluster with new parts and some paint. Still a working on needles. Gas guage tape leaked and smuged on black part.

Tread pattern feels way better in wet. price and performance is the same if not better imo.

I have yet to loose traction when i dont want to or have loss of grip in corners.

How are you liking the DZ102's so far? Reviews for them seem...meh...but i really like the DZ101's im currently rolling on and i'd considers the 102's if the performance (and price) was similar.

question, can you send a link of the place you ordered the port holes (and size) for the back seat? I'm planning on doing the same thing w/ my Houndstooth rear seats. Thanks!

Home depot. I think they are 4.5in ceiling recessed lighting surrounds.

Hahaha nah I don't remeber where I bought. I'll look later.

I say do a Hartge tribute, deco and all.

Farther down the road yes, Im probably going to grab the side stickers soon, but id still need Hartge steering wheel, shift knob, front valance and side skirts/rear valance. the Hartge wing, the valve cover, which is like $800 on its own, and much much more. Going to leave it as is for a while till i have a better job lol.

Needs more oem+
I'm talkin' is' skirts, (maybe) mtech I e30 spoiler, glass moonroof, & rear sunshade.

Car really is shaping up quite nice tho opie.

Those are all things I want, but cannot afford all at once, Lol. IS lip and skirts will probably happen first, with a wing farther down the line.

I have work till 8-9 every night man. It sucks. I wanted to come but no one would cover my shift.

205-50 Dunlop DZ102s. Fit perfect IMO

I'm gonna grab Euro trim or make some and get some IS bits and it will probably be done exterior wise.

16x7.5? Looks good. What tires did you go with?? Id say you just need some euro trim and you could be done. Looks really good Will. Now why the F did you NOT go to Dicks last week??????

lovely car man. it's nice to see a nearly full stock clean car. GL w/ her.

Totally want to stay with the OEM+ look, only adding things on to the mechanical aspect of things.

Guibo and CSB done, just gotta get 3 new bolts to replace the ones that were attached to the stupid giant harmonic balancer weight.

Up next is Subframe bushings, gotta get rid of the clunks.
