E30 M3 Vert

Questions:
when you polish glass with cerium oxide, 1; where did you get it and is it just rub and polish like you would with glass cleaning clay?
did you delete the third brake light? I thought I read that you "shaved" it.
I deleted my 3rd brake light and went to MoBrighta to add bulbs in the sockets intended for rear fog lights...
You are doing awesome work! Were I local, I would be over watching you daily!
Any new pictures? PLEASE

cerium oxide can be purchased online, you will need a good drill and a few pads.

5- lug rear is done, this allows for a 294x19 rotor.

• SRS concept caliper adapters
• modified dust covers
• z4 3.0 calipers fully rebuilt
• z4 3.0 mid lines for soft lines

My trunk is almost complete. Layer of 1/4" foam followed by a top layer of vinyl. Hard lines are 90% done just need to be polished.

Really been working on my 2002tii for the past week. Removed most of the floors, part of the rear quarter and driver side door sill. Everything is welded back in so i can focus on the vert again.

I'm starting to lose hope in the double din setup though, I have everything trimmed down but the HVAC doesn't fit to my satisfaction with a LHD car. RHD this would work ok, so if i don't move forward with it all you RHD guys hit me up for a double din application lol.

Nice work on the tonneau cover. What did you use to secure the vinyl to the cover in terms of adhesive? Will be recovering my my check panel cover (the vinyl is peeling off in places) and am debating between a couple of products

The best spray is 3m 76 but you can only get it online. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Finished upholstering the tonneau cover, happy with the results.



crazy amount of plastic clips replaced to get everything to mount $$$$$

Had a new windshield dropped off but was not able to get OEM glass, NLA. The aftermarket glass i received was "the only option" according to safelite and has a nasty teal tint band across it. Anyone have a different option???

[968Reckless]

Suspensions is pretty much installed just need to wrap up a few loose ends and start bending my hard lines. Waiting for my 5-lug stuff to come in before i can mount brakes.





Tucked the main part of the harness against the floor and built a false floor for everything else to sit on.




Soft lines will mount to bulkheads and come up through the main floor into hard lines.





Ran the lines to 2 bulkheads on either side of the rear section of the spare wheel well. This will allow easy access to them from both the inside and outside of the car if needed.

I have always wondered if a double din would fit in the area of the ash tray and the little area behind it. have you looked at that location?

It can be done above the ashtray. You need to do a lot of trimming or remove the heater core. Not ideal and looking down at it while driving isn’t the safest. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've seen it done. it was a double din touch screen with the disc drive on the top half and it fit at an angle with a custom fiberglass panel that replaced the ashtray. and was screwed into the bottom of the dash under the HVAC. the stock head unit location was filled with a set of VDO gauges from a MK1 VW

i tried to find it but its been years and i think it was a build on e30-tech.

I just found a picture and to be honest, looking at it again the location wouldn't work that well. You would bump into it while shifting or reaching for the shifter, etc. just not a lot of space.
