[TS323]

I bought this car about 2 months ago and since then i have
sorry for the shitty quality, i just took some with my iphone while working.
- changed spark plugs (had platinum's....), changed: tranny fluid, diff fluid, oil, air filter, oil filter, adjusted valves and Drivers side wheel baring.
- This is when i first bought it minus the hood and tan seats
- put my Black Sport interior in it out of my wrecked 91 318is
- 318 hood -(henna hood was munched, along with fender and bumper on pass side)






- rubbing compound/ waxed it
- got rid of bottle cap, got weaves



- rear euro plate filler
- banged out front euro bumper (done now, not in pic)


- grey carpet (old one was tan and stained)
- sealed old floor plugs








- Clean dash (happening today)
- looking to do a S50 swap soon when i can find one for a decent price.

Such a great deal and the paint cleaned up really nice. Congrats man. The interior is shaping up.

Wow looks like you're heading in the right direction :D

Looking forward to seeing this complete!

[TS323]

so now the dash is in







i still have to put the CD player in and the some misc plastic parts. but all the hard stuff is done now. any comments or suggestions are more then welcome.

Is that a factory carpet?

[kenika65]

damn u brought this car back from the dead! Props!

I'm guessing your planning a timing belt!

[10Toes]

Looking good

[TS323]

yeah the carpet is stock, the whole interior is out of my old 1991 318is i had but unfortunately it was t-boned. so i salvaged what i could from it. it had nice vinyl black sport interior with grey carpet. i cleaned the carpet best i could before putting it in. its not perfect but im happy with it. theres a couple electrical monsters that the car came with (fog lights, blinker issues sometimes....., sensors)

and also finding treats like these

[MR 325]

Looks good!!! You need an analog clock for it.

[8380 Labs]

is that a digital clock in there now? i've never seen one of those...

[TS323]

Yeah it is a digital clock.

Analog would look sweet haha.

i actually have a question and was curious if anyone mighty know:
when i bought the car it came with bilstien sports and Yellow springs and the only part # ive seen on em is EBS-BMW-3/1. from what ive kinda read they're equivalent to H&R springs?
