What did you do to your E30 today?

Just replaced the OBC that had a bad display... now display is good but, still no backlight:( Guess I'll need to replace the lightbar anyway... Back into the console we go again:roll:

Can you still read the numbers without having a backlight?

cleaned the red car up real nice and then had a potential buyer come look at it. fingers crossed. Also got the 'vert ready for the commute tomorrow, it's going to be beautiful and sunny so time to take it out :)

Pulled my rear speaker shelf and spray-dyed it black to match the carpet, painted the premium speaker pods with trim paint, and the grills with Plasti-Dip. Just got done re-assembling it all, will reinstall tomorrow and get pics. Just need to get my rear seat mounted, and my interior will be done.

What are you using for the dye?

replaced clutch master cylinder and bush bearings in the pedals. Not as hard as people make it out to be. Although removing the slave cylinder to bleed the clutch hydraulics was a pain with the m30 g260 in there.

What are you using for the dye?

Duplicolor vinyl and carpet paint. Stuff is amazing. Just vacuum really well, spray, brush, repeat. Did my whole carpet and the rear shelf. All it takes is a good brushing when it's done, and it's not all stiff or nasty feeling.

^where do you get that stuff? I can't find it.

[CorvallisBMW]

Most professional paint stores have it, I buy mine at Sherwin Williams Auto Paint.

Also try the internet. It's some new-fangled crazy thing, but I hear you can buy nearly anything on there.....

Screw paint. I patched my failed wirewheel+ brakleen + self etching primer + paint coded rattle can repaired rocker panel fix with wheel bearing grease.

Rally cross sans mudflaps is a bad idea, apparently.

Can you still read the numbers without having a backlight?

Yeah but,... only if it's in direct sunlight or I hold a flashlight on it. I'm installing an LED conversion board that I made yesterday so I won't have to disassemble the HVAC panel for a replacement of the OBC lightbar.

i ripped my centre console apart.
