My landyatch - e38 740iL

Great progress so far! I have a set of lighted polished door handles with partial wiring harness if you're interested... Pm me.

If you end up with the ls1 my e28 is in a desperate need of new heart! Just saying...

you can get folding mirrors off of any of the e90 premiums for pretty cheap from a j-yard. Just a headsup, might save you some cash if you planned on ordering new. Looks awesome dude!

did a few more things recently...



welded my original muffler tips back on since i deleted the mufflers



never ending body work.... getting rid of a few dents



a few parts I've accumulated over this build. Replacing door trims, led plate lights, and a few3 other miscellaneous things. i deleted the headlight washers as well as the plate holder for a cleaner look up front. New kidney grills, fog lights, door seals, mirrors
Ive also replaced the interior lights with leds, added halos to my headlights and wired them to my euroswitch so i can control them independently. They were also flickering so i fixed that up. i also have new bmw roundels on order.

on the to do list i still have:
replace speakers (mine all suck)
new head unit with nav, iPod control etc.
parking sensors
back up camera
door handle lighting (a little brighter than oem)
misc lighting (vip style)
vip tables
full seat re-uphostery
folding mirrors
rear seat fridge possibly haha
cayenne bbk
....turbo ls1 swap muahahaha

Awesome build so far! Can't wait to see it painted

Love the matte wood finish. Very Volvo looking, and I think their wood is one of the best. Great attention to detail!

Thanks man, I love it too, the glossy wood looks cheap and like plastic to me lol

As you could see, one of my doors had bad rust around the handle.
i sourced out a replacement today, which to my surprise was ming and it fits perfectly! barely adjusted anything.
the only thing that sucks is that it came off a newer e38 with more options, such as lit door handles, and some chrome trim inside i don't have now i want!
