I know, they're from back when I couldn't decide what to do with the car. So just bear with me, I'm sometimes a little indecissive.
Thanks, and a happy new year to you too. Hope all is well in Norway.
There are two steering wheels that look the same in the first brochure, but they doesn't have the same parts number, and are on 2 different pages. Can't remember if they were the same size.
But I think one needs to find the second brochure to have a full parts list, with ALL e30 parts. My other strutbrace is not in any of my early brochures, but it is shown on a 2003 pricelist on E30 parts I have. My guess is (due to it's rareness ), that ac schnitzer made that model of strutbrace very late in the production years of the E30, just before it ended.
I've seen a suede steering wheel, 3 spoke, that doesn't appear either in the brochures, but yet it is listed as an E30 M3 steering wheel.
ACS exhaust, needs a little love, but should be fine after that.
Pictures of the steering wheel as requested.
It is a 360 mm, as I can see in the brochure, it has 2 parts numbers for 2 steering wheels identical to this one.
I also decided which color the suspension parts will be, I went with gold again ;-)
And some parts will be Nogaro Silber, wheels, strutbrace, steering rack, engine mounts, valve cover, intake, gear box, and maybe some other parts.
Slowly picking up speed.
Got my seats cleaned in the weekend, using professional seat cleaner machine, huge difference in before and after.
My ACS exhaust is with my dad for some minor repair.
The rear sunshade is on it's way from Germany.
I learnt something new yesterday.
According to this old test, the first AC Schnitzer S3's came with a Zender bodykit (which explains why Zender got the deal on producing the ACS parts), and a Hartge style strut brace, and a 190 HP Herbert Schnitzer engine.
Need to update my speclist for this thing.

That's what I have so far, I'm in the process of cleaning out my cellar to see which parts turn up.
Starting to get going with the Cirrusblau project (Cleaning out the garage for parts, so the car can be moved, haha), this showed up under all the dirt.
Original windshield, shows again how unmolested this E30 was, before previous owner parted it out.
I can't stop looking at the shell, it is one of the cleanest original paint shells I've seen in a very long time, not a speck of rust or a dent on her.
Can't wait to get her finished.
In the meantime I'm searching for this, early model red Heckblende. I'll be running original tails and the Heckblende, if I succeed in finding one, instead of Startecs.
And I'm looking for early model ACS front and rear skirt, I'd love to keep the metal bumpers.
I've found the early model rear, now I only need to find the front.
A picture of the Cirrus lady, after she was imported from Germany in 2007.
Starting to work on the bumper swap tomorrow, will post some pictures.
And trying to figure out what to do with the trunk compartment.
It's something with Alcantara and wood, and the ACS rear strut brace.
