HA.

But really, don't get murdered Simon.

(4) Thermostat? Car was running for a while and even on the drive it never budged past 1/4. Heat was warm though so it could be sensor or a gauge. Needs further investigating.

Your car might have a beefier radiator keeping it extra cool. Mine never gets all the way warm either.

These project cars are multiplying like rabbits! Congratulations!

It is me who will be fixing her up for the half way across the country trip. I’ll be sending pics or be uploading progress to my youtube. Got the “last” box of parts today. Will get started on it this weekend and go from there.

Murder would never happen, but I may be forced to sell something... eventually... and maybe I can drag out that eventually long enough to make her forget by spending that same amount of money on a purse or some shit they value as much as I do vehicles lol

the thermostat should still regulate temps

Maybe there's no thermostat.

We’ll definitely get the thermostat squared away before I drive the car halfway across the country...

In other news, today was the SoCal Vintage BMW show and while the Z3s are now allowed, the majority there were stock models other than one that had a bunch of Hamann pieces and I can say that 19” are simply too big. I’ve been exploring some lightweight 17” or 18” wheels, and while I wasn’t planning on getting one, the $120 for the OBD1 intake meant I bought a piece for the car before it arrives home lol

Looks like the water was coming in from the pass side, not sure where specifically yet. That will be fun lol

I've been out of the loop for a while, I can't believe I missed this. What a steal!

[2mAn]

Reached out to Dinan and asked a few questions. They sent me a free gift because this car should’ve had this already... yes it will lose some of its sleeper status but that’s ok with me. I’m not totally sure where I want to mount it on the back.

Mmm, Autozone style generic letters.

perfect for if you decide to name your car Danni
