        many of the chrome or stainless interior bits with pitting or corrosion will clean up mighty fine with 4/0 steel wool. It's amazing what steel wool can do to chrome.

            Also, I probably have multiples of the plastic door handle inserts, should you choose to need any. They look to be the same handles used in 2002s.

                We'll see. The more I think about it, I might look into doing a nice stained wood trunk with veneer subwoofer enclosurea

                    Wow - you are lucky to have such a nice starting point!
                    Color is awesome too. Can't wait to see the updates, and wheel choice etc.
                    Love my BC's, have them on a few of my old BMW's now and may even replace my ground controls with them in the s52. Yes they ride that good.

                        Are you still doing roof racks?? Ive seen your work, and I like your style. Might make a great compliment to Katherine.


                        On a side note, 3 of the 4 linear actuators are in for power lock/central lock. However I have one sticky locking mechanism (not cylinder lock). Ive used plenty of silicon spray, however I might need something a bit stronger. Anybody have recommendations?? Also, needs to be a spray. I cant remove the lock mechanism without removing the glass frame.

                              Bluetooth enabled equalizer came in the mail.
                              This unit is nice and small (6x4) so I can hide it in the glove department
