    Only a minor update as i've been working on every car but this. Door cards are in and looking good, made some good progress on the custom hvac setup as well.

    Ended up going with Chase Bays front brake line setup for OEM master cylinder. I've bent front lines before and it can be a real pain with all the angles in such a small area, not to mention you have to make sure nothing is rubbing on the engine. I do have the e38 7 series master and a 944 booster but everything seems to fit as it should. Instead of running behind the engine the soft line attaches to the front subframe which is nice. I'll update this after i run some fluid through it and mess with the regulator.

    Was also able to get the windshield lock strip in this weekend but i did have to call a professional in to do it. I've done this 3-4 times but i've always used the original gasket, lockstrip and glass. I'm note sure if i wasn't able to get it done because of the new gasket and lockstrip or because the aftermarket glass wasn't made correctly.

    All the polished trim was wrapped satin black and new gaskets were installed. Nothing like fresh gaskets!

    I have a set of style 5's i'm refinishing and i have a set of autostrada modena faces that i'll probably build but i'm not sure what wheels i'll put on the car. Would like to get a set of ACS type 1's and i've always liked the way futuars looked on m3s so...

    I don't have a build thread but its just about ready for primer.

    Doors, fenders, and bumpers are mounted/aligned. Skirts are on but don't have any hardware yet. Everything is looking pretty good so far just need to adjust a few things.

    Thank you.I wouldn't say i removed 100% of it, still left some deep in the seam. E30s have an outrageous amount in the engine bay and i wanted a clean look. Its main purpose is to lock out moisture when 2 panels are joined together so if you've seen a seam split i'd look at the welds.
