I've had a bad condenser leave me a half mile from home .

Progressively got worse on way home till nothing. No spark.

Mine are filled and I don't like the look. In theory its cleaner I guess but the seam is part of

the personality of the car I think.   Your car your decision.

Mine filled in

Painted the core supports satin black with a brush.  OCD got the best of me and did a second coat.

Tidy up the headlight wires and cleaned all the connections.

Plan to redo a couple under dash wires to stereo also today and get the console back together.

I can't find one e30 M3,  this guy finds three 

Wow, so cool for real 

Looking for the seat brackets that are welded to the floor for both front seats.

P/O removed both to install e36 seats and I would like to finally install my Recaros.

The seams are filled in by the taillights. Is that intentional ?  

Car is looking good . Well done

How can you tell the Guibo is done for? 

Thanks and everyone else with the information!

 

 

Appear to be cracks by the bolt head. If one is doing it they  all are.

That wire on the steering wheel looks a bit suspect. The bare wire could be grounding out your connection. 

Would start there.  Maybe new horn plunger or some new wire and some shrink wrap at the plunger.

Some very nice work going on here.  😎

I placed an order for an ITG backing plate and filter this week. The backing plate will be 5-6 weeks as they don’t keep them in stock with 2002/Pinto DCOE spacing. 

That's good to know, thanks.  I liked the setup that was on a BaT  02 last week .

He had the Kooglewerks DCOE elbows and ITG filter but it's a bit pricey at almost $600. for an air filter set up.

My Ram Air foam filters air getting tired and they  tend to drop down the elbow and cut off the air flow.

ITG looks to be one of the better filters will have to check my options.

I could be okay with just a blank ITG backing plate also. 

I would say no. My choke has never been hooked up in the four years I've owned mine.

Never had a problem. 

Inspired by a bunch of the work posted lately I got off my butt and wrapped up some small things.

Tore apart my console looking for a rattle I had last Summer. Nothing obvious so far. Will dive in deeper.

Rebuilt my headlight adjusters with the IE kit. Quick coat of gloss black paint also.

Cleaned up the engine compartment and steel wooled the relays, just some little stuff.

I've been looking for a Vintage license plate bracket with no luck, so I bought this for now.

To Due List is better air filter set up for the DCOE's, looking at ITG filter and finally getting my Recaro's mounted.

I  have H&R springs and mine would move on the pad.

I just used some stock flat metal and a bolt. Has work ever since.

That's a Ireland pad.

The Man could wheel a car.   RIP

Another vote for Aardvark Racing.  I purchased some very small parts for Recaros and they refunded some of the shipping charges because parts  were so small.  Who does that.

Great  customer service.

I purchased from these guys a couple of times with good luck.

Did four 2002 doors with the clip and the small cone piece with great results.

Also a bunch for my e39's.

Buy it if you feel the price is fair. Looks to be a nice car.  Life is short.

Great thread,  impressive and inspiring.  

Threads like this get me motivated to get in the garage during Michigan winter months.  

Well done

PM sent,

I would sand/media blast it.  I'm fortunate to have a facility by me that will rent their blast cabinets for $17. an hour.

They do high end muscle car stuff.

3M  08310  for most things.  I'll have to check if okay for painted surfaces.

3M 05887  if you need to sand it. They say it turns out very nice.

His work,, proud Dad moment.  🙂

Agreed ,  I would use a quality Seam Sealer like 3M.  I can ask my Son what brand they use at the Restoration Shop he works at.   He complains its stronger than welding.  

Matching luggage would of got it sold .☺️

No disrespect but for the most part bottle caps do nothing for me. I do like the three piece version  though.

Always said I build my cars for me.  I don't care what other people think.

If you like them, that's all that matters ,get them.  I don't like to yuk on someone else's yum.
