Thanks...it is getting there...

Gavla, the red hood on a black car looks the business! Good choice.

[RetroAde]

Another vote here for the red hood, works perfectly with the red leather.

[Gavla]

Thanks guys...the interior is currently cardinal red, shortly going to be changed to classic red which actually matches the hood even better than the cardinal...

Fitted rear electric window mechs to my touring today, so now I've got the full compliment of switches ....

[zaust]

Replaced corral front brake pipe and passed mot. Happy days.

[jimbom30cab]

Nice one...my MOT is today which means pacing up and down the office like an expectant father all day....

[Sambe30]

I had that last month Jim, went through no advisories, hopefully yours will be the same!

[jimbom30cab]

Yer hope so, fingers crossed

Im edging more to taking a profit, in Pacers words "A served car is the best kind"

[RetroAde]

Not strictly today but Sunday scored a load of bits that should hopefully not only fix a few niggles but add a few useful bits to the store. In the process made a new E30 buddy, talked motors and gawped in awe at his V8 2 door.

Ok I have been wanting to do this for a while so had a go at making my own Voltmeter.
It turned out well and looks great but my camera shot dont really show the digital readout very good, I Will have to get a shot in the shade.

[jimbom30cab]

That's great , wonder if you could add another one with oil pressure etc etc

[hillbilly30]

Bought my old 318is M52 back from my bro-in-law after a year without it. Regretted selling it since day one! Lesson learned....

Not into wood
I do have a new leather one, but it's packed away somewhere and I can't find it

[HairyScreech]

Today I made the thing run properly on the M50tu management (M3.3.1 413 ECU).

[Gavla]

Gave it a good clean...with the angle of the sun I thought I would take a pic as it shows the colour of the new roof and new interior well...

[cliff_costa]

Changed the came belt .it's bean sat in the garage for 3 years time to get the old girl out

[ImysE30]

Gavla - Sell me that hood

Spent mine starting up the beast and trying to sort some wiring

[mikelat]

Installed pop out rear windows in my 1990 325i coupe. Easy job but should have ordered the stick-on rubber seals for the top and bottom of the windows before I started as the wait for them from my local stealer is 2 weeks. Oh well hope it doesn't rain in the meantime.

[jmc330i]

Got all chav like today and fitted and amped up some front component speakers. Bit annoyed as I ran the speaker wiring to amp the rears as well, only to find the amp my mate gave me was a 2ch not 4ch Oh well, it's there for future upgrades if I bother.

[zaust]

Nothing, absolutely nothing. Still waiting for front wishbones and a few other parts to arrive so I can put the slag back together again. I can see a late last minute night coming up. Ggrrrrr

[darkchild]

Hoovered, washed, polished and waxed.

Tyre pressures checked and filled it with petrol.

Sunroof open, windows down and a nice sunny drive in the country.

[Cypriotgeeza]

Not exactly today but I replaced these fu*#ers M30 powwaahhhh!

[hennabm]

After complaints from the OH I fitted a new throttle cable today.

Boy, what a difference - seems like it creeps up on you without noticing how stiff the cable becomes.

Anyway all sorted now and the OH is happy.

Exactly what I did today as well, mine was sticking so much I had to use a bungee cord as a return spring to get to work.

Plus I also found it wasn't getting full throttle so I have spaced out the bracket at the inlet manifold to take out the excess slack.

Threw on some Winter tyres as well so now it is more like a throttle and not a sideways button ;)

[mark_i]

wired up the output from the ECU to read M42 error codes... put the bulb in the EH auto cluster position

[darkchild]

Gave it a wash. Seems to be an everyday occurrence now we're living in the sticks. I need to get the brake lines done before next February's MOT. Decided it's too cold to be p!ss!n about on cars so am paying someone else. They can enjoy dismantling 27 year old components!
