Project Weißer Regen: 91 318iS Restomod

Because bodyshop dust and grime. Had to blow it all apart to clean it adequately.... Will be going back on this week.
I'm going the same route with all rolling chassis installed, tank etc prior to the painting. Undercarriage is fully restored (the only pic I got on my phone)...currently bolting everything .
Was it due to them washing it, dust from rolling around or the overspray. The last one is my biggest concern obviously. Just want to make sure good masking job is possible to keep overspray out.
Also any secret recipe for the dash dye?

Looks great! I would tell them to run plastic sheeting under the complete belly of the car and mask at the skirts and fender wells for the duration. It is crazy how much dust and debris found its way under while it was in the bodyshop and it made me sick to my stomach when I realized how bad it was and that the only want to truly correct it was to take it all out again.
I paid a company to take care of the dash, Fibrenew. They are a national chain of mobile leather/vinyl repair technicians and there is likely one near you.

Light burlbs for days.... I bought all new OSRAM Germany nickle based bulbs for the car.
New tail lamp boards, populated with new bulbs.
Installed
Got the rest of the AC lines set in place. Not instaling drier until I can bolt the compressor on as it will just ruin it to be exposed to the elements.
Unmolested stereo wiring per request

I connect it to a fog switch or a four door sedan square window disable switch. The fog switch can go into an empty hvac panel switch slot if you have one, so fully reversibleLast edited by bradnic; 03-28-2019, 05:25 PM.I BUY/SELL REFURBISHED CM5907s & CM5908s

The antenna wire was still braided into the power antenna red/white wires. It is no doubt original, but yes I agree most I have seen are the light gray color.
This evening I installed the center controls panel, and finally got around to installing the completely rebuilt CM5908 radio I got from Brad last month. Its certainly the nicest and cleanest example I've seen in one of these cars. He combined the best components he had to make me this unit.
If you are wanting to keep the factory radio you would be hard pressed to find better than what he can put together for you.

That interior looks fantastic though!
But there should be two allen bolts on the far side of the face of the head unit under two plastic hinged clips. After I unscrewed mine I just pulled on the clips gently until it pulled out far enough to grab the actual radio.
The allen bolts don't come out completely. They just hang on to the radio.How to remove, install or convert to pop out windows
