"Lizzy" My Grey 325e

[2mAn]

I still need a second seat (passenger side). Maybe a cheap Corbeau seat, or a e30 sport seat.
If anyone reading this has an affordable bucket seat or OEM sport seat in black please let me know.

Cheers guys

I've had a 3rd Recaro SE in black that Ive kept as a backup and its just been collecting dust. I could be convinced to sell it, but probably not as cheap as you want. Pm and we'll talk about it. Maybe we can make it work.

Im liking the progress on this thing. I kinda have the same issue with the center console and Im probably just going to throw it away. Its not even the correct one for my car. I also have a 84 and it has manual windows, but the console has the holes for the window switches...

Also, how close is your head to the roll bar? In one pic it looked really close, but not so much now that its welded in.

Hella hard lol

Me too! Thing is the wind is really blowing hard and I dont have the time or hardware to mount it right now. I dont want to place it on the trunk, step away, and then have the wind blow it off and get it all chipped up.
Ill dedicate some time to this tomorrow. Updated at a later date :)

Wind is blowing hard today ;)

I want to see how the spoiler looks from further away.

Got a few little things today, including my part from Romania ;)
Small to big.
Got this little guy. Very happy with it. Much better then the toggle switch I had!


Then my heel plate from BMW Pedals
Need to fins some spacers to go between the plate and floor to finish mounting it. Only have screws in the front right now.

And the big ticket item. Should I keep it black, or do something fun. German flag stripes, or maybe a WWI naval camo pattern? Also should I use an adhesive tape, rivets, or some small screws with nuts and trim rings? I am leaning towards rivets for the look.
I also need to ether mount my rear roundel on the fiberglass, or cut a hole in the spoiler for the roundel to pop through. I think mounting it on the fiber glass will be the best option.
This part is from Garage Line in Romania. Shipping was fast, service and email replies were good and fast, and the part showed up in really good shape for the distance it traveled.

Ill be ordering some brake parts from Turner on the 1st before Bimmerfest. Slotted rotors, braided lines, and some Hawk HP + pads.

I have a body part in the mail from eastern Europe that I am excited about. Hope it shows up in the next two weeks or so.

On one of my 2002s that i did not have windshield washers operating i repurposed the washer switch to be the horn contact. Pull on the right hand stalk and you got the horn, it was very easy to get used to.

Thats a great idea actually. Ill keep that in mind for future use ;)

I had a very frustrating morning today. Drove to two different Pick N Pull locations, nether of which are located in nice placed to visit, just to find a damn passenger side seat belt. Finely located one in Oakland, the ass hole of the Bay Area, and got back home only to realize the belt had been sucked all the way into the cartridge and I could not get the frickin thing to unroll. Ended up braking it while trying to get it to work. Lots of gas, time, and $20 down the drain.
So a splurged on a second Gforce 5 point harness. Ill have it Tuesday.

[deutschman]

Yes

[LJ851]

Do you have the windshield washer working on your car?

[deutschman]

Im going to change my horn button to this.

The toggle switch is not doing it for me.
I could have got my self one of those fancy Sparco external horn buttons but those are $50! This button is $9 ;)

[mk3f.t.w.]

:) looking good!

Did a few small things on the e30 today. Valve adjustment, a toggle switch to replace the horn button I lost by installing the quick release, and a spacer I made out of some square tube to drop the wheel down a bit. Feels a lot better now.

I think I am going to remove the Hella fog lights and put them on my truck. I never use them on the e30.
