little DIY from me: how to repair door lock heater switch. There is a common problem with metal stripe which is broken. Here are some pics how I dealt with it:





metal contact available in any electric toy





a bit of soldering















final testing

Beautiful car and work, keep it up.

Further progress:

OEM amp lives there







had to buy new headlights as rings on old were not in the best shape













decided to put OEM rear lights instead of Startecs





could not find M3 wing turn lights. Had to put standard back again

Actually, that is is. There is a progress with interior: installed door panels and minor stuff.
Also put emblems and bumper decal

Now is working to restore this dead pedal





It was seriously damaged by corrosion. The rubber cover is in excellent condition. I think the problem will be with galvanics - there are 2 colors - black and white. Hard to find wright workshop
