awesome thanks, i was wondering what that was!!!

so after disassembling the panel which was all like

i kinda mangled the shit out of it and was left to figure out what to do so this is what i did
drilled some holes

very carefully recessed

took a few times but i got the screws to sit flush


then glassed them in and let it sit outside for like 2 days to get rids of the smell

got this in da mail today, clips and exhaust hangers and shifter stuff

redided the panel fabric

bolted and glued down if you look close this is version 2.0

final product, its not perfect but ill take it, its better than it was anyways

and now its wine time my ninjas, one of only a few whites that doesn't taste like baby puke IMO.

nice thread man. fellow bimmer owner here, E46. I know how it feels to have a long list of previous owner fuck ups to fix but keep it up they are fun to work on. also about those seats if you check out the e46 fanatics forum there are a few threads where guys have been able to retrofit newer 6 series seats in these models. looks sick too

[JE BMW]

are you keepin the contours or getting different wheels?

ill prolly keep the vaders even if i sell id do vaders again, i like em and so does the wifey

are you keepin the contours or getting different wheels?

as far as rims go i looking for some e31 m systems but im also toying with widening the contours if possible, only on the outside tho, i cant seem to find anyone who's done it, well see. id also like to wide the m systems and take the pad down a little, vie done the maths and it looks doable...
another updata for the day...
after wine i got a little busy
changed the air filter and cabin filter old ones was filthy


then changed the rad clip[s and redid the hood pad clips also


i did both sides


then i did the side skirts, turns out the PO just had the on upside down so i bought new one for no reason o well


more wine and homemade mike piazza, A to Z is the beez knees...

[parttimeprojectionist]

so after new tires, im noticing the front end is easily diverted i think its becuase the old ones were bald and the new ones are gripping a lot more which in turn is causing the LCA's flex more than before? so basiclly new LCA's. anyone ever had this issue? im without a jack atm otherwise id go out and check em myself.

otherwise no updates, ive been stuck in 'post a pic that made you lol' thread. haha.

thanks dude!

no updates. been too drunk, hungover, sore and busy to do anything car related. plus my wifes car needs a new condenser

just enjoyin driving it fo now pic at OB in all the stock gloryholeness

[parttimeprojectionist]

so i guess i should update.

so living dat e36 life

funny enough the day before i had ordered a mishimoto rad and everything to go with it, but it was still a few weeks out so i had to get a new plastic one for the time being. which will be for sale after i swap it out for the aluminum one. of course as i was taking it apart the plastic bleeder screw broke, the expansion tank broke(well sorta) so after a few trips to the store i got it running again, also i had heat for a day and now i don't maybe heater valve
what a waste of time and money

so heres all the goodies that have shown up over the past few weeks, some bavauto here, some bimmerworld there
heres a list
mishi rad and sili hoses, FDK with 80deg stat and 88/80 fan switch, brass air bleeder, some wetter and a misc missing clips and stuff.



also i got sick of my tools rolling around on the pavement while working on my car outside so i ve started to make some tool pouches out of canvas, and put together a "go outside and work on the car kit" heres some of the progress.
so start with some canvas and trim



iron in half and sew again? i have no idea what im doing



then this shit happens

take fuckin sewing apart like 20 times

give up and drink beer -sammy smith's count chocula, their strawberry is the best BTW

i tried again over the next few days, sewing fuckin sucks and sewing machines make me want to kill babies and kittens. but eventually


and finally!


next is a wrench pouch and a car wash kit, well actually i have car wash kit just no pics
and put in all the cooling system goodies.

[DER E30]

That's a neat tool kit pouch set up! Although I would never have the patience to make one...
Nice M too! I know the feeling about stupid PO fixes and the associated list...

[parttimeprojectionist]

^^^thanks, its kinda janky but itll work for a while. i can always make another... i mean it didnt cost much!
its not really the act of sewing its how often something goes wrong with the sewing machine. i actually really liked figuring out the design and lay out of the tool kit.

love your truck btw the the IRS and tilt bed is the bees knees
