My project 84 318i

Looking great Jean, just caught up with this thread.

Good times, even though you like to just sit there and laugh lol

OOOoooo you've done it now, next time I WILL just sit there and laugh.


I do have to admit You and AJ are thre best car noobs I've had, we won't talk about Landon or Tom, hell you couldn't even change the oil in your car when you first started coming over.

Good times, even though you like to just sit there and laugh lol Without your help/garage it would probably take me 10x as long to get anything done.

where is the shop at where you did the work? is that pinepig's haus?

That's my Pops place.

Finally my car has heat, for the record e30 325i heater core valve works just fine in place of 318i valve. I installed new hoses, hard and soft and o-rings. Now I don't have to freeze my balls off in winter....

Ah, good to hear things worked out! :D

Here is the seller I got the gears from, highly recommended - http://motors.shop.ebay.com/merchant/sportevolution

[Jean]

The gears are on ebay, search for e28/e30 odometer gears. I'll look up and post the sellers ebay name if you don't find it. The e-brake boot is a stock e30m3 boot, it comes with the metal ring so it mounts correctly to the e-brake console w/o having to do any modifications or anything.

that's cheaper then odometergears.com

I like your interior. Cloth is more comfortable IMO, but my cloth seats started to tear up so know I have leather :zzz:. Anyways nice ride!

My new odometer gears from spain arrived, $23 shipped.







Car is happy about the outcome lol

E34 leather e-brake and e30m3 boot.



Almost a perfect match



Things left to fix / do

1 - replace driveshaft (rear u-joint is bad)
2 - replace lock cylinders to match the master key and align the door
3 - replace the crappy m10.
4 - finish a/c work
5 - replace headliner?

Lol! btw enduro isn't until the 18th and 19th, you should go!

Maybe I will, I'll have to set the boost back down to 15psi.
