When I first got to Indy, my mom in law was upset because she didnt know who to vote for (this was pre-Palin). Now with Palin, the automatic pilot re-engages and the decision is made for her. Its sa ...

How many times I have to tell you that I want resluts.

You had 8 years to produce results. Time to let someone who knows how to drive take a turn at the wheel.

Real Talbot mirrors were an actual factory option in Europe. There are alot of knock-offs out there - but the real German made ones are very expensive. Mine cost me an entire week's salary.

That suede is beautiful. Top notch work!

Use the real deal. It's still available from BMW. Not too expensive.

Agreed. They're cheap and available at the dealer still.

I got a set of black "Turbo" ones off ebay (seriously! BMW Part # ...

Is anyone else tired of hearing what a "Maverick" McCain is?

A true radical doesn't get elected at all. Majority favors the most widely accepted and you can't do that if you're a true rogue. Their ...

It has A/C. A real turbo can't have that, because the KKK charger is mounted down below the engine, where the A/C compressor would typically go.

Unless they rebuilt the manifold and relocated the t ...

Not from memory, no. I can take measurements this weekend when I go to work on the car though.

yep, 1/2" MDF. I sealed it with primer and 3 coats of gloss black to prevent warping over time.

The hazard switch has been relocated to the steering column, opposite the ignition switch.

My girlfriend did the stitchwork on the console, but I outlined & cut out all the patterns. Took a couple tries to get the fit just right, as the first one I made was way too snug.

The sunroof trim ...

Ancient thread revival!

I posted this on my project blog, but figured it might get a bit more traffic here.

Got the console all wrapped up yesterday... finally. Turned out GREAT. I couldn't be happier with the result. Ignore the gauges, they're just placeholders for now until I order the correct ones. Oh, a ...

I used PVC U-channel from McMaster-carr (http://www.mcmaster.com/) If you search "U-Channel" you'll see a whole bunch of different materials from aluminum to fiberglass. I went with PVC because its li ...

Are you looking for the plastic door sill trim? If so the part number is 51 47 1 822 070

Thats it, thanks Henry.

Looking for the inner door rocker trim. Maybe I'm not calling this piece the right name, but I can't find the stinking things anywhere on RealOEM.

I'm looking for these (Photo courtesy of Bill Will ...

With the car or the pregnancy?!

GOOD LUCK!

If you're worried about interfering with the grilles, have you thought about something like this:

It works well on your car, I think its a great look.

However, if you're going vintage, please get rid of the teeny-tiny driving lights you've got on there and get something around 6" Those little p ...

H,

Did you ever get around to creating patterns for the trunk side panels? I'd like to have something to go by.

Todd

Not yet. I've since learned that the side boards were only included on rou ...

Brilliant idea man, well done!

Any movement mate? Please tell me that sweet as console is all covered now!

Just got back in the states last Friday, I'll be wrenching on the car this weekend and hopefully making some headway. I l ...

more reliable gas struts

Ummm, the stock hood mess is a LOT more reliable than gas- charged
struts. I've never seen a 2002 with a dead hood opener

Good point. While the insides of these things ...

I know a few people have done this mod in the past, and I've been doing some research for a little while now on what the typical install looks like. I know a lot of people wrestle with the hood torsio ...

Amazing vehicle, congrats on your purchase.

When you take delivery, would you mind taking some time in the future to shoot some pics of the hood supports? I'd like to see what kind of custom work h ...

Awesome work man. I'm envious on many levels.

Thanks dude. I'm really looking forward to getting back to the states and finishing this thing up. I've been out of the country most of August and feel ...
