My project 84 318i

[Jean]

I missed a set of cloth sport seats on craigslist, but got lucky and picked up this set out of an 87 325 car, they are almost mint :)





Steering wheel will go into my 325i, I have the bus wheel, and hopefully I'll find a good condition m-tech1 wheel instead for it.

keep at it :)

Thanks! Going to swap the front headliner part as the original one is deforming near the windshield. I got one from a manual sunroof car but it does have a cut out for a check panel. I've seen the check panel blanks before, so that's the route I'll go with for now. Maybe wire a garage door opener or a light there...


I think I need #2

Got a lead on early h&r springs as well, so that should do it.

i will take the old plastic bumpers////

[Jean]

You'll be in Sacramento anytime soon?

[Jean]

Front euro valance, euro bumper with all new molding is on. Tomorrow I need to wire the front indicator / parking lights and figure out what clips I need to mount the fog light delete plates. They don't stay in the valance, and need some kind of clips to stay put.

Possibly clamp #10 http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...19&hg=51&fg=20 ?

Then of course to order the m-technic valances.

Great work. This thing, when you are finished, will possibly be the nicest 318i on the planet.

[Jean]

Finally. Got the complete a/c, heater / blower box with all the wiring from another 84 318i. I have all new gaskets already, so soon car will have A/C ! Woot.

[bimmer_E30]

i am in canada but i will pay for shipping, becuase i need a rear plastic bumper that fit with out any modifications.

Rear bumper will need some work to make it perfect. All I did was shortened the ends to make it fit until I found euro bumpers.

The whole thing is for sale, front/rear bumpers/valance and fogs in another thread. Got someone local who is interested..

[Jean]

Car is filthy, but this is a test fit.

[N2MYE30]

That looks great!!!

Needs some euro grills :P

Otherwise, looks like your install went well. You should get a sport lip like this:




Did you get the rear mounted?

My hood needs alignment, euro grills are on there ;)

I am ordering m-techI valances next so this is just temporary. The rear is on as well, just need m-tech1 specific end caps and probably going to have to order a new right rear section of the euro bumper as well.

Holly crap, what lip is that? I have one sitting in the garage but no car to put it on. Is it OE or aftermarket?
