Outdated update 1 Interior 2011

Due to me trying to run my shop, I have slacked big time on updates.
All of these updates were done around May/June/July 2011 The BMWCCA Concours de'Elegance was held on July 24th 2011. That was my deadline.


In 2010 I finished with another second place. It seems no matter how hard I try and clean this thing I always lose to Keith and his beautiful Henna M3.

I had been putting it off, but it was clear to me now that to try and improve the car, my street bar would have to go. The only problem was it was welded in. I would not only need to remove it, but fix all the damage.



Let's begin. I am going to keep commentary semi-light through this

Cutting the welds out:






Out!






What a mess:









We ground all four points down to clean metal. Then primed them with self etching primer:









For the rear wheel arches it was as simple as laying down some body tar and undercoating the underside. This would both protect the area from water and allow for a very permanent and reliable fix.







The floor was a different story. We needed to repair the area and ensure we would have no future issues. The solution was to make a plate to cover the damaged area and permanently protect it. Here is the plate we made:




A little trip to the bender:


Nice fitment:



Now we had our solution. It was time to install it. We used 8115 Panel bonding and rivets to ensure they would be strong and never-ever fail.




Laid in place, drilled some holes for the rivets and began securing:







The hard part was over. We had fixed the damage from the street bar, but I had a lot more to finish if my car was going to be a true restoration. Just looking good on the outside is fine, but I never wanted to have to worry about pulling this interior again. That meant making everything perfect while I was in there this time.

I removed the dash and heater box, yet again. What was under the carpet hadn't been touched since the first construction in 2008. I knew i needed to just finish it


Replaced all the plugs


My buddy Reid and I spent about 2 hours scrubbing the tar residue off with brake clean


Then gave the chassis a nice fresh coat of paint






Next, I put all the wiring back into its factory locations, which took about 3 hours :-x








Back seat area






Luke's reupholstered rear deck, looking sexy:


Quarter panels in:




Choosing which carpet to run. The last carpet obviously had holes in it from the cage.




Not acceptable!


With some mad sewing skills this problem was a thing of the past




Rear seat time!






My heater core was starting to leak so it was time for me to change it out. along with some of the seals. Yuk




New core in and new foam seal on




New Mtech dead pedal thanks to CourtM3!



Heater box and dash back in place:



Finished painting my MPG needle





Modified an early 2 button center conceal for an airbag dash and installed it




That's all for tonight. Ill keep uploading and finishing the update tomorrow!
