Won't be slamming this one... 88 325iS Build Up

BMP. I wish I would have gotten their FULL kit and done the other boots but the control arm is already installed. It was 12 dollars or so for 4 boots AND they included grease(which I didn't even know).

Really happy with them!

Where did you get those urethane ball joint boots? How is the fitment with them?

[dinanm3atl]

Ground control sent me a teaser shot before they boxed up. Then I installed my urethane boots for the control arm/tie rod ball joints. I ordered them because I knew my boots on my new parts would get messed up while swapping suspensions. Glad I did. Put much more grease into the pocket/boot. Happy to have done this. Tweeter housings finished and installed. My trim pieces are coming together(before picture and after posted last)



Ground Control Teaser



Urethane Boots



Tweeter Housings installed/done - Looks pretty stock





Before... and now... looks WAY better. Unfortunately my plastic had started to break down so it isn't 100% smooth but is worlds better.




And now... yum!

I wish I knew... I haven't driven the car yet! roflmao








Jumped into the garage this evening and started the stereo clean up. Zapco I-Force installed. Setup/Glued the tweeter housings. Trimmed wiring, tucked wiring and reinstalled the front kicks and underpanels.















And my 'helper' barely lasted for half of the process.

Does the subframe bushing make a HUGE difference?

I love the way your interior looks. I would love to have the red interior for my alpineweiss car.

Direct swap.

Real nice work here--approving of everything you've done so far. The time lapse is great. Interestingly, my wife's 4 door is also an '88 (she's also originally from ATL and worked for Turner) and I'm debating on the bumper swap. Are the plastics just a straight up bolt-on deal on 88's? Since her car is Schwarz I'm thinking of shadowline trim and painting the db's and going for a blacked-out look if I keep 'em...

Glad you are keeping the diving boards, your interior is screaming for e36 switches.
