Wonderful, thank you!

I know a lot of things got deleted, but CC would be nice to add back and make functional but not many E30s actually had functional Cruise...

Luckily for you the hard part appears to be done- via that photo of the cruise control connector you can see the cruise clutch switch/bracket with a connector plugged into it, aka your car still has the factory cruise harness installed in the dash.

via the video you shared of the engine swap, they added a late model coolant overflow where the early cruise actuator would mount. If you bought a late model actuator/bowden cable w/bracket to mount at the airbox and plugged it into that harness plug under the dash, I bet you’d have working cruise, assuming there’s still a cruise stalk on the column

AWDBOB I will add that the neverending list of small pieces the car needs...

In other news, I finished the suspension last night and drove it to work today.

Fun car!



Main annoying cosmetic item is the check panel keeps falling out because that front sunroof panel is deteriorated & current drivability issue is the alignment pulls slightly to the right.

Just the right spec of POS :)

Not sure of the round one but I believe the flat one goes to the door, gang.

its ghetto but you can wrap your check panel with electrical tape until it fits snug

Also, don't forget to stash some drugs / keepsakes / flash drives behind it before you put it back.

Approaching the final look on the face, sort of... this is kinda what I started with. missing fogs was something I wanted to replace.


The cowcatcher fogs are hard to find and I ended up finding a set of 3D printed adapters which use the basic early model fogs. Install was easy and looked good.


I was tempted to help Bezos but decided FCP Euro was a better source to purchase as they will replace these fogs free of charge.

One item closer to less sh!tbox...


Thought I should finally put a sticker on the car before I run out.
