I finished scraping the last traces of the foam insulation under the hood. The old adhesive is really stubborn! I tried “pro strength” goof-off but it wasn’t breaking the old glue down. I may have to learn to live with it.

Yeah but they look a little too old for High School.

Yeah they were just straight up plug and play, no modifications necessary. They run a lot cooler than the halogens.

 

There's a good reference chart for bulbs on the discussions boards here, and I just picked up the corresponding LED bulbs.

 

There's four total in the roundie taillight housing. The backup, turn signal, and brake light are the same size and type, but the running taillight that's on when you have the lights on is a smaller size.

 

I added the links below, if you want to take a look. If you do replace them, might want to take the time to clean the contacts in the housing and bend them slightly forward so they have more "spring" action where it connects to the bulb.

This weekend I've been doing some work on my fiberglass bumpers. Never really liked the body colored paint on these things. Before painting them "shiny chrome", I added two layers of fiberglass to the insides to stiffen them up a bit and then painted 2 or 3 coats of high build primer, after a final sanding this morning I now have 1 coat of "chrome" rattle can paint. I'll do 1 more coat in a few hours and call it good.  Around here it's perfect painting weather.

Started the 5 speed conversion with the help of 2 BMW Club members. Am very excited! On Monday I will send off the drive shaft to be cut and calibrated …

Out with the old….not easy getting this out. Those bolts were put on tight in 1974!

Built a couple ramps…. To clear the BendPak low-mid rise lift.

After far too long I got back to working on my rear brakes and managed to bend a brake line for the first time ever with some success!  What you're seeing there is a test fit, before finishing I'll be cleaning up and doing a little chassis painting in these areas ...

Been running one for about a year now with a 5spd. First gear winds up really fast!
