My euro 320i/335i resto and slow going alpina tribute(now in paint!)

Small update but not from the body shop.

I painted and resealed my 2.93 lsd as well as painted and put fresh ca tuned ploy rtabs in. Need to replace the dust Shield on one and put the rotor and ebrake cable on.







I also got my hands on of the last set of OEM door seals. Gone be great to have doors that close like new.


Hoping to get updates from the body shop next weekend most likely.

^door seals are underrated. It's sooooo nice when they're still springy and make a good seal. You'll be stoked.

I know! My current ones on both cars are 100% trashed. Its gonna be like replacing the trunk seal and actually having to put effort into closing it haha.

Dude, I love my sidemarkers in my euro bumpers. I'm so glad someone in Portland in 1987 decided not to put them in the fenders/panels.

Door seals are NLA? What?! When did this happen? Glad I replaced my pass. side seal when I did. Didn't do the driver's side since it seemed okay.

I just looked on Pelican, and there's one for $325. I think I paid half that! I hope this doesn't become a trend for other parts.

I bet it will for nla parts they know people want. Do you know if you can actually buy it I know on ecs they listed parts but then a day later id get a call saying the part i ordered is NLA.

I know about a year ago, a new MTech 2 steering wheel doubled in price. Went from around 350ish, maybe a little more, to 700 something. So much for that.

I was planning on building my subframe next, but maybe I'll do some seals instead :/

That happened only a year ago!!! I made a big mistake not buying one. Just bought a used one last week for $250.

Nice progress OP, still waiting for the paint update!
