Been MIA for a bit. Finally got the right hub. Fitted the steering wheel. The perforated leather feels amazing and the smaller diameter wheel feels great ergonomically. Other than that, I took it to work and changed the tans fluid and replaced the trans pan gasket and trans filter.



I also finally got some wheels. Ended up with an almost perfect set of 16x8 Style 5's. Ordering 42 Draft Design adapters within the next couple days and the same with some Nitto or Falken Tires.

Owen Approved.

Ahh, you gotta love trying to buy the right adapter hub, great experience.

Finally got my Momo hub in.




Part # on the receipt was correct. The number on the box was correct, yet the hub in the box was the wrong one, meant for a E10. So I called the distributer up and they're sending me the correct one.



Took the bottom bumper valence thing off and painted it.



Dusty as ever.

Got the bumper back on. Didn't turn out as well as I'd hope. Broken turn signal fell apart when I took it out.

That steering wheel is awesome. It makes me wish I had a BMW just so I could have that wheel

[Robitussin]

I think my next steering wheel is going to be a renown.

Great thread so far. Awesome find on the car.

[FRSBrndn]

Fantastic photos, it really makes this build come alive.

[sterling archer]

You sir, are killing it.

Got some goodies today.



Got my Renown Monaco Motorsport in as well. Feels nice and sturdy so far. Still waiting on the hub to come in. I ordered the BMW horn roundel from them as well. Shipping was really fast and it came undamaged. It looks spectacular. Can't wait to get it in the car. Comes with the hardware and a little allen key as well as a zip tie and horn connector piece thing. Plus a nice business card and a decal.







I've also started work on my bumper tuck and "refinish."
