Can be areal pain to remove that stuff……. Good job you have a ramp etc….

Cluster; SI batteries poss dead.

Brake hiss sounds more like servo or servo hose leak

Good job!
Some peoples repairs are pure comedy!

Fitted the new exhaust yesterday but it seems really tight, the tailpipe is touching the rear valance. Maybe it's the cheap pattern backbox I bought! Today I was going to start it to reverse it into my garage to start on the front end and it would seem the fuel pump has packed, I get 12V at the pum...

Can you start it by carefully turning the end of the lead ( where it would join the ignition barrel)?

If not perhaps test crank position sensor for resistance on a multimeter,?

Haven’t been on here in a while….

Really didn’t expect to hear this, RIP indeed…

Find as many spot welds as poss and drill out?

I’ve used electric cable to try and clear by pushing upwards from the end of the drain hose in the boot.

The drain hose are held on tight by metal clips. If you need pics just ask as I’ve got the headliner out of mine to check mine out….

Nice, be good to see how they turned out, I have hit a dead end on mine because I wasn’t sure on how to go about it (long term slow burn project it seams!) at least now I can see a relevant video to the model I’m dealing with… I’ll view the vid shortly.. thanks

Yes, left and right areas right behind the rear lights are the boot “pockets” by rear arches

The videos on yt are great, thanks for making them

Thanks.

Seriously Is he ok?

I’m getting the impression it’s finished already..

Very much so, looks a neat repair too…

May be of help

This isn’t your first rodeo surely…..

Are you using e5 regular unleaded?. I’d Change fuel filter, clean and regap plugs run on super unleaded . Had running issues years back on 318i and seemed to help.

Maybe look in the restoration section or ongoing projects there will be photos of what you need somewhere. …Comfy chair and a brew job…?

Yummy, have de ja vu vision of mine. For the valance, hillbilly way could be to chop the rust out and the Mtec bumper remains.

The upper bit panels could be got or made.

Can we have a photo after hammertime, here’s my inner wheel arch, I was a bit keen to find solid metal….

Even without a kit. Be brutal

Thin air….

Any rear seat passengers? Easily get a couple suitcases/ holdals on there as well.

Old phone kit?

I used used eBay Bmw e30 k8 relay, it’s a really common one. I did have to file off a sticking out plastic tang but all ok for around £11…(I didn’t have fog lights before but it’s only plug in or not)

There is a wiki page on this retrofit in here also….

Unfortunately real life gets massively in the way…

Good to know, sorry my mistake I thought they where different like trailing arms…

Usually pop up on eBay, magpie from here sells a few of them from time to time on there

Think you need to move this to wanted section. This is for sale.

If there was washers there they may need replacing. Think some used a type called dowty seal as it’s metal and rubber… it was a while ago I did mine..

Cloth replicas are also on eBay these days too..

New Cheap ones do pop up on eBay from the cheaper parts companies. As long as it’s the right type as in if you have rear discs you get a rear disc type hub.
