My E36...

[BenKoflach]

Forgot to post up at the weekend - just took a few snaps of my latest additions. First up, OEM cupholders -





And my new steering wheel - picked it up at an autojumble ages ago so dug it out of the attic. No centre button with it so I've just left my Momo one on for now.



I also gave the engine bay another clean-up - I want to give the inner wings a proper clean-up and tidy some of the wiring in the near future. I just used some Autoglym Engine and Machine Cleaner stuff, which I hadn't used before - really worked, it's good stuff.



Ready to roll - hadn't driven it so suspension is yet to settle

Haha wicked, thanks for posting that up!

Y'know.

If your car was a E34 with a moderate drop and chunky tires, it would look like this.



Caught this last sunday and immediately thought that it looks like a big brother to your E36

Mine is totally there. Smashed up to fuck! But wait till the service for a new one.

See u tomora my man.

[BenKoflach]

Oh sorry, was on my phone and didn't see your pic or the sidebar. Yeah let me know what it's like.

I wonder whether it's oy RHD cars that have it there then?

Ah, well mine is RHD, its only the 318is though so maybe that makes a difference. Im actually gonna go out and have a look now and see whats what.

[BenKoflach]

Ta - I'll get some pics up of it clean in a bit, it's looking the best it ever has with a touch more low. Me happy.

I don't think the fuel filter is located the same on all E36s, is it? I don't recall seeing one on my car next to the frame rails...

I think you're right, im pretty sure mine isnt down there either. I could be wrong though.


Also, BenKoflach the car is looking good, i love tourings

I don't think the fuel filter is located the same on all E36s, is it? I don't recall seeing one on my car next to the frame rails... but then again, I didn't really look. Good thing you changed it before it got completely damaged!

I always thougt they were tbh - sits under that plastic trim bit though so maybe you just didn't notice it. It sits fairly well above the lowest part of the chassis rail, I don't know quite how I managed to hit it really - must have been a fluke bit of debris, I did go over some very small logs a while back, one may have flicked up.

Just got to hoover my interior and I'm all ready for tomorrow. May paint my washer bottle satin black too, if I can be bothered.

Spending the day getting ready for Players tomorrow. Fun times. No real updates, it's going a touch lower is all really.

I did have to replace my battered fuel filter though - so lucky for it not to split. Apologies for the pretty unexciting photos.

As it was:


Bracket not good!


Fixed - the cable ties will only stay until I get a new bracket.


Old filter:




Bits for the bin:

[BenKoflach]

Noooooooooooooooooo! That's a slightly bent Contour right there. Gutted.





So now I've taken them off, need to see if it can be repaired and I don't want to risk more damage on damn potholes.

This is a strong look:



As is this (sometimes I like to pretend I don't know him):
