    Lessons in Life part 2... Life is too short start on those projects!

    Finally pulled the touring out of storage. As some of you know, Ive had Tatyana for 2 years in storage in PA then at a local shop.

    Here is the old thread


    My brother Turk(Brewcity11) and I just opened up a BMW shop/business in town. Small but perfect for what he wants to do.

    Yesterday we brought to our shop. Starting with the basics...

    Timing belt, hoses, fluids, 19lb injectors, Mark D chip, e36 m3 shifter, e36 m42 radiator, plugs, kn air filter, etc.

    Next will be cosmetics, side skirts should arrive next week, interior swap will start this weekend.

    Will wait a bit on the suspension and brake kit.

    Engine will stay stock for now, have the Metric m30 4.0 and the euro dogleg but really thinking of keeping the m20 for now.

    On with the pics...

          Interior is decent but the tan/non sport is screaming for a change.

              tailgate is the only spot with rust and thankfully its only surface bubbles, will get that touched up, plate filler will cover it but still want it taken care of. Rest of body in really good shape.

                  Oh yes the wheels... No sense in putting on anything decent until suspension is done... Just picked these up last week...;)

                  As usual sorry for the iphone pics, but for me its the quickest way to take and post. Proper photo shoot when she is more presentable.

                          wonder what happened to the wiper blades? :drink:

                          great project ! Can't wait to start seriously modding the touring, not this itcy-bitcy clean up stuff :D

                              can't wait to see what you got planned.
                              Maybe I'll get some inspiration for my touring :)
