[stevofthahill]

Looks amazing. You by far have one of the cleanest cars with the most attention to detail on the board. Good luck at the show tomorrow.

This project is really taking off. I love it, keep us informed as usual.

so i bought this NEW (no fuel has ever been put in it)
[COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]oem[/COLOR][/COLOR] bmw jerry can on ebay and the wife is less than pleased and i need the money.


BMW Emergency Fuel Gas Tank, brand new, which fits in the wheel well inside of the full size spare wheel (down to 15" in size), will fit many BMWs (E23, E24, E28, E30, E31, E32, E34, E36, E39, E46 and E65). This was a more common item in Europe but was much less common in the US as it was never offered here. This includes the fuel tank (which holds 9 liters or about 2.25 gallons), the spout and box which is everything you need. This is an authentic BMW part. Very easy to install and a great item to have in an emergency.





asking 155$ shipped (what i paid)

You need one of these to finish your uber-rare trunk..

^ Wow, you have so much cool stuff i've never seen before!! Oh and isnt your steering wheel on the wrong side??

[Japandrew73]

well if you are british, then yes my steering wheel is on the wrong side hah. its left hand drive. as far as the emergency fuel can, i am very aware of it. the reason i dont have it yet is it only fits in the spare tire well with a wheel that is 15'' or larger. i have 14'' basketweaves so it wont fit.

[spooledtt]

Well it was just one of the things that popped into mind when i thought euro. Am i missing something?

[Japandrew73]

no the british always claim that the rest of the world drives on the wrong side of the road. my car is just like all the others in america, And germany. left hand drive, driving on the right side of the road. your not missing anything

Andrew,
Your car looks spectacular & your attention to detail is way up there. Your skills are much greater than your age would indicate. This car should earn you some hardware during the next three days - GL at Pebble Beach!!

Thanks Jack i really appreciate it! It was good finally meeting you at Ron's. Your lead on the body shop made my mtech front spoiler possible, as you can see they do excellent work!

He's done quite a job with that car & it's not with unlimited funds - it's looking, learning & applying (plus I think he's got a photographic memory) with focus - he uses what he's learned from this & other boards where he's active. That is very refreshing!!
