PNW Chit Chat thread

Finally got the missing rain gutter trim for my car, it was a bitch to get off the car that was being parted out and seems to be even more of a bitch to get on. any tips? soan & water on the rails? some other lube?

Cheuk, didnt you just do this on your iX?

Which part? The body colored part or the trim above the window? I'm missing the trim above the window. In the picture below, I am missing C. Are you talking about that part, or the part that is to the right/northeast of part C, or are you talking about part A?

I finally pulled C off of kid325e's red car he's parting out. I sandblasted it and then painted it again, but it looks like shit because I suck at painting, so I'm going to re-sandblast it and repaint it, then I'll put it on my car. I haven't tried putting it on yet; don't you just pop it in with the clips?





Ahem, Paolo, I think you've got some explaining to do:

I miss my E34 540. Always wanted a touring but every time I find one its green and I absolutely hate green E34s haha. Would love to drop a touring though. Suspension options are very limited for E34s. Even more limited for tourings I would imagine.

My car has been missing "A" since i got it. Now I have them, they are inside my car and I really want them ON the car, not IN the car :P

They make lots of suspension parts for E34's and coupe stuff will fit on a touring you just might have to add a thicker speing pad to the back.

Please Unplug the battery & drain all gas fuel before doing anything else. Don't want you to start a fire & blow yourself up. :up:

[5Toes]

Yeah that would be bad!

Is it a bad idea to just jump the fuel pump with the fuel line just stuffed into a 5 gallon gas can?

[AbeSonic]

You tank should have a drain plug if I'm not mistaken.

[Mlarsen]

.... Your recommending draining the fuel tank to replace the engine? Don't over complicate it, you do not need to drain the fuel tank, that's retarded.

[Eta power]

Whatever you do, don't end up like Mr. Burroughs, or worse!

[e30austin]

We need to make it as safe as possible for Mr. Toes though.

That would require him not touching car and someone else doing it I guarantee there will be fuck ups

[5Toes]

I'm sure there will be fuckups. However I am instead going to start Friday. this weather sucks for working outside, and I'm not even going to get the engine until Sunday so yeah
