    Ps how much are they asking for the orange one? (curiosity)
    My bad. The orange 2002 is priced at 5k obo and has a lot of rot bubbling through the bondo in the rear fender/ rocker area. It looks good from far, but far from good.

            • I think copying something is chill unless it has a copy write or some sort of patent on it. In this case its a one off dash that is not being mass produced so I think you have no worries if you strait up copy it.
              Semantics
              Its going to be cool no matter what

                Agreed, I plan on swapping in a Fi m10 in the very near future for a turbo build so I can use some extra gauge clusters

                  Painted the interior gloss grey to hide the dust and seal the undercoating.

                  matches the seats pretty good until I get the carpet installed

                  This is the color i have decided on for the car. It will be vinyl wrapped for this years show season.

                      Thanks and yeah meant the 02. That's a hefty price for something rotten.
                      You should lookup garage journal to see how you can transform ur barn into a proper garage.

                        It is a garage in the works. Power is being installed soon hopefully. Also after talking to a few friends today, there may be some interest in chipping in for a lift this spring/ summer.

                        • Because rustys floors were uneven, the seat brackets are not all the same length. A 3/4 socket fits perfect as a spacer.

                          • the interior is finished until i get a carpet and my bag setup. 100 times better than it was when i first bought the car. Solid floors, comfy seats, and a fresh unrusted rooftop.

                            Me and a friend figured out a way to mount the removable sunroof. I will be using 2 corvette convertable latches and some custom brackets. This will allow me to keep the sunroof and lose all of that unwanted waight from the assembly.

                            • Looking good dude - So you're making a t-top out of your roof, or just converting it to a manual sunroof?

                                Hes keeping the original sun roof, but he is scrapping the manual sliding system in favor of a sun roof that will be completely removable through the use of some Corvette latches.
                                2002 never came with electric sun roofs from BMW as fare as I know, all though I have seen them installed as after market dealer options.
