thanks

Yes, I will pm Raul and see what he has going. I think there might be a chance I can do the linkage mod, but I need to find the cover for the driver side wiper.
thanks for the info..appreciated!

Yes, try Raul.

I found a brand new one with miniwiper. Not sure if they all have that. There is a detailed thread on linkage modification. Ive seem 10mm and 11mm measures used. I think Raul has something in the works.

Hey man get ahold of raul. He has a few and he's having one reproduced. I don't think he'll sell you one of his but he sends me links all the time to hartge stuff.

thanks

So far away for me... must be a great sense of pride. Well done.

Thank you,it has been a fun project and now it is coming to an end....but I made a mistake:)
According to the German paper work, my car had the mono-windshield wiper:)...that is going to be hard to find!!! Anyone have one they want to sell....cheap:)
So decals get made in the next few weeks and then hopefully they go on in Sept....

The po of the rear valance cut a small section out of the valance. The exhaust shop guy had to move the whole cat back over about 2 inches and center it the best he could. When we first put the valance on, the right tip was behind the valance:). He had to do some fancy cutting to get it centered....however in doing so it looks like it is off by about a inch. Maybe the angled one would work better, but this is what I could find:).
Car gets detailed today, on it's way to a cars/coffee on Sat. Looking forward to seeing all the other bmws at this meet.....

good eye:)

Hey i was looking at your exhaust tip and i thin the angled tip may fill in the area better. IDK if im right im sure raul will correct me but i think your car used the curved hartge tip. Car still looks amazing man. im pretty jealous.

John, great job with the car!

Thanks, hope you enjoyed the thread. I have to get the side decal set on and finish up the interior. Having a time finding the correct material for the sport seats:)....just need more time.
Taking the car in next week for a 'tune'. Might use a wide band on it to get it set correctly...
should be a good learning experience for me.
thanks again,

Last of the parts going on

This morning I got the fog light housing and put it on:). Now all my lights work!
Had to take a bunch of stuff off to get to the bolts, but after getting under there and messing around a bit it went all back together.
Here are some pictures of where we are with the car today....bought in Oct of 2014.....
Will get the side decals on at the end of the month...from then on its just finish the interior including the gauges, and do maint. on the car....although I am checking tomorrow on having the headers coated:)
enjoy:
Sorry about the blurry pictures. I will try to fix them later.

Fog light housing

Well my fog light housing is broken, but I got a other set on the way. I will take some pictures to show it going in. Want to get it all done for the cars and coffee here in Boise.
Next project, looks to be the gauge cluster....got all the lights, locks, mirrors and windows working:)
