You are clearly a gifted welder.

Some more progress on the interior. Driver's seat and M2 steering wheel are in and we were able to replace the dead battery. I need people's opinions, but thinking the tan door cards are going to go bye bye.

Glad to see its all coming together. I've been in that position where you have to pull and rebuild again, and while its no fun now, it will be worth it when you start putting major miles on the car.Simon

Time to start ironing out the details. Second first test drive was a success...lol. The motor is no buttery smooth and there is zero smoke. Decided to change up the seat brackets to allow just a bit more adjust-ability, massage the fenders and install the Bosch euro smileys. Painting the strut bar black instead of white and need to get front grilles and IS lip painted. Also scored a great deal on black door cards and a rear seat. I just wasn't feeling the tan...hopefully can get that swapped by the end of this week.
Seat bracket update:
Tuck the e38 style 5s with 205/50 tires:
Headlights in
black rubber e82 floormats

Car should be on the road by next weekend...got some small things knocked out so far this week.
Seat belt buckles installed and adjusted
smoked Bosch smiley's are wired up and in
Tried out some LEDs and I am not a fan of beam pattern and brightness...sticking with halogens
Decided to clean up the trim
it's come a long way since this:
Still need 6cyl coding plug, emblems and some other adjustments....
