More than likely I won’t match the hard top whenever I find one. It is a lot of red and needs to be broken up lol

Managed to find a hood local for basically nothing. Of course, the color doesn't match but oh well. Got the hood on, started taking note of the little things I'll need here and there. The trunk won't open but I have a feeling that has something to do with the top not being there lol This is the first time ever working on a convertible so this is all new to me. I bought a convertible frame off of ebay so now I'm sourcing a top that isn't outrageously priced. I really enjoy piecing a car together this way, not sure why but It's super satisfying for me. Iphone pictures below.

Got a lot done today. Tossed the top on, loosely, as it will need adjustments. With BMW trunks/convertibles it's a pain in the balls when it comes to opening the trunk if there is no power, the top isn't completely down or up all considering there is no way to access the trunk, nor is there an emergency release..add in the fact that I couldn't open the trunk with the key I have because it's a valet key and the valet key does not open the trunk. I called BMW and I need registration, proof of ownership, my firstborn and proof Elon musk is my uncle..plus $100 lol ANYWAY, said screw it, drilled a small hole in the trunk, popped the cable, and opened the trunk. Installed the new taillights, got the power to the windows to put them up, and checked that the car had power throughout. Sorry, that was a lot, here are pictures.
This may seem like a basket case, which it kind of is. However, my dad has been helping me get this sorted and I don't care if it takes me 10 years, I'm having fun with him doing it. lol

Took a trip this weekend to snag some parts I needed. Grabbed a tonneau cover in Lancaster, then stopped in Reading to meet fellow Member Hinrichs. Scooped a bunch of fun stuff from him; coil-overs, taillights, side skirts, trim pieces, shift knob, condor suspension bits, corner lights. I think that's all lol
slowly getting there. haven't touched the car as I've just been slowly accruing parts. It's honestly been too hot to do anything outside with it. Had to spend some time fixing my daily that I've neglected for a while. Other than that, I need to get headlights, seats, probably a new carpet, top cover and some misc. bits. While it seems like a lot the list is shrinking week to week.

Can’t wait to see the LS-Rs on! Big fan of that wheel, especially on E36s.

I've decided the best way to deal with rust is to just embrace it.
