    Awesome idea, never even though if it. I’ll be oing this for sure especially with how expensive some of these parts are getting to replace now. Car is coming along great

      Also, it goes without saying, but incredible build Jordan!!!

          Nope, just a good used panel. New is NLA, and was like $400+ when it went NLA.

          The wave is from the screws that hold the top to the dash, they all do it to some degree.

              Oh no, storm was nothing at all really.

              Kills me to be sitting around with my dick in my hand doing jack shit but I'm still full stop waiting on the headliner to arrive.

              This did arrive yesterday, new Genuine BMW front windshield.

                      Man, I really like the look of that CM5908 and now regret not saving the really clean ones I've come across in junkyards over the years :( Wasn't there an OEM CD player available at some point as a dealer option, maybe in like the early 90s? Now that would be a nice piece to have. Figuring out a way to add an aux connection would be ideal, which I'm pretty sure people have done already.

                        You have done amazing work. Very very nice.

                        Reading the beginning of your thread made me think... I am looking at an E30 for sale in Houston (from a distance)... I did not think about the flood. When you said a million cars in Houston got flooded out, I’m now concerned. Not sure how to proceed.

                          Same here, got brand new OE Front / rear Pilkington glass from the dealer 2 years ago, love them so far. Only real difference I noticed is the new OE rear glass has a slightly different defroster pattern.

                            Been checking almost daily....are there updates? Gotta live vicariously as my 318is doesn't get this kind of attention due to work schedules.

                              Still waiting on the headliner to move forward I'm afraid. Full stop...

                              I'm trying to get the ball rolling on the interior but it seems that Stitched Wheels who has done all my prior cars is done done with auto stuff and everything else I'm finding doesn't look good... sigh.

                              If anyone knows a business I can order seat kits from with OE like fit and finish I'm all ears.
