Wheels and cleaning.
While I was waiting for the driveshaft, I decided to replace the transmission fluid as I have no history of its maintenance. So I popped the drain plug off....
I took the fill plug off to see at least it was full. It was a bit low. Drain plug was doing its job though.
Cleaned...
And new fluids. Its nice to know that little things like this have been taken care of.
Mike Pugh has been a great resource of info! He had some lenses around that would help my 2002 not look so faded.
I was not fond on the polka-doted headliner so I gave it a good scrub. Before...
after... its better at least.
And the Wheels? Well, even though they had what looked to be 10 year old tires, I put them on because im no fan of the bcaps. They held air and they were good enough to get around the block. No rubbing yet but close enough to need a little roll.
With some research on these wheels, BWA has a few wheels that works on these lil BMWs. What im not a fan of is the center knob of the center wheel. Some of me wants to grind down that knob flush with the rest of the wheel. Then I would like to paint them with gold centers like this...
...with maybe polished lips. Replacement tires are in the mail so I may just keep them as they are until im done getting it road worthy.
I don't get too much big chunks of time to spend on this project but a little cleaning goes a long way. Little by little it gets cleaned up.
Going from this...
to this with a toothbrush and soap.
Biggest jobs ahead is control are bushings and wondering if I truly need a new heater blower fan...ew.
