Some MDW progress!

Been busy FINALLY getting to work on the actual body work.

No, I'm not just drawing random tiddies on my hood:



Just popped out a...

Nice job Mike! I remember doing this with everything out of the car and figured it'd be a pretty tight fit but looks like you had great access with the center console removed

[Albie325]

Had the exact same problem with the Nissens condenser I bought. Figured it would be easy enough to just unbolt the bottom plate, flip it and re-attach, except that one of the soft aluminum studs broke...

Hey man. Interested in the HVAC, have been messaged by a few people and am waiting on them to send me some pics, what you got?

Hello if interested, I have a mint HVAC panel and that clip that goes Under the mirror. I might have the rear sending unit rubber too I’ll have to check either way I would take $40+ shipping for the...

Hey Mike,

If I were you, I'd try and disconnect the coolant hoses on the engine bay side leading into the heater valve to try and drain as much coolant as you can prior to disconnecting the...

Hey all,

Was taking apart my dash the other day and the mounting tabs for my HVAC panel disintegrated. Would like to buy a mint to near-mint 4-speed HVAC panel to replace it, preferably with...

[Albie325]

Yeah I've been perusing, no luck yet. I don't think I want to buy a whole passenger mirror just for the clip, but it may come down to it and they're cheap enough.


So after fixing the...

Ended up getting the diff bushing swapped out, was super easy with the bench vice.

Drilled out the rubber section:



Then used a dremmel to cut the metal band:...

That E9 is pretty sweet. I'd consider myself a (gulp) "purist" and would have preferred it to have the original engine, but man that thing is awesome looking. By far my favorite BMW chassis,...

Stanley Rockafella all depends on quality of work, quality of paint products, and what you intend the car to be when it's done. If you want to do a Jordan or Jon level resto, then I'm sure you're looking...

[Albie325]

Saw this car on the FB page I think, in my hometown! Wish I was still there, would come check it out. Have always wanted an IX, good luck with sale. If it's still available in a couple years when I move...

[Albie325]

Hey man. I have a really nice cluster out of a 535is. It's out in the garage, can send you some pics tomorrow. It was pulled from a non-running car so not sure of functionality but it looks to be in excellent...

Bump

[Albie325]

Nice! Glad you posted this. I have some spare tweeter pods with snapped off wiring pins, was going to junk them as I didn't know you could remove the speaker itself.

[Albie325]

Yah I'm figuring on having to cut out most of the bottom of the fender, basically about to where the black rocker meats the red paint on the fender. When I remove the fender I'll take some pics but I've...

[Albie325]

Thanks brother, long way to go...


Anyway, I got the car all nice and clean, probably the last time for a while it will be a complete car. Over the weekend I went from this:

Nice find! How's the interior? I'd kill to stumble across something like this around me, but I haven't seen an e30 sitting in a driveway/yard in forever.
