Me thinks I need my head looked at

picking up a rust free tailgate today, apart from that there's nothing to be done

all my suspension (and mean EVERYTHING) is getting changed for uprated or new parts, and i've got an engine project on the go too.

also gotta put my new leathers in...

My to do list............

Finish M30 airbox conversion
Fit rear disc setup along with new rear suspension bushes/brake pipes
Fit 3.45 diff/new mount
Remove sideskirts
Change exhaust for standard

All of these can now wait till the New year,once done will probably sell it and move onto the next

Sports leather interior
Thermostat
Drive belts
Fog lamps

Main 318iS
Drive belts
Speedo bulb

Track 318iS
M3 Alumimum Wishbones and new M3 bushes
Upgrade brakes
Performance Air filter
Strip interior

I need to get my cloth sports seats and Hartge side skirts fitted then just the front speakers to finish and perhaps a sub in the boot

i think maybe a couple of rear subframe bushess,new front wiper motor and an oil and filter change as ive now done 10000 miles on the new engine,oil an filters done every 5000 miles, over the christmas holidays is about it for me

My to-do list:

For the 327i:
Re-pack scorpion centre box
Fit lightened flywheel
Connect up oil pressure/temp and AFR guages
Fit and tune Megasquirt
Sort out a few bits of bodywork (all the rust is gone)
Prep for respray
Fit new wings
Respray
Make and fit DIY smoked Hella's

For the E30 trailer:
Design and fit draw bar
Cut bootlid back to tech-1 spoiler
Weld in bulkhead between door slams
Design and fit supporting framework for marine ply lining
Fit marine ply lining
Electrics
Replace shocks
Fit new tyres to new rims
Smooth lines where b and c posts used to be
Respray in Diamond black

All this has to be done before the baby arrives in April

And I have no garage

Cheers,

Iain T

mine needs a clean - to maintain the lack of rust

my touring

Alpina - everything, bodywork will be first though

Source & fit alarm/immobiliser,
Find a way of securing the BBS centre caps,
Try and find a good anthracite grey driver's seat,

new subframebushes
oil leak
abs and pas sorted out

320i SE - Needs a new fuel tank so probably get the brakelines done while everything is out, needs a bit of paint on the very edge of the rear arches but thats it as it had an inspection 2 service a few months ago.

318i - sell it or break it!

You forgot the 325ix Touring RHD conversion!
Some pics of all these cars would be good too............................

Well I have only got the one E30, which isn't in bad shape, but still needs plenty of attention.

1. Replace n/s/r tyre
2. Check alignment
3. Fit replacement diff sourced from Bigdek (cheers mate)
4. Repair light switch illumination
5. Fit new clock / stereo surround panel
6. Remake wiring loom for Kenwood HU and phone kit
7. Fit Pioneer tweeters into OE tweeter triangles
8. Fit & wire in remaining component set-up.
9. Get new drivers door lock kit, and assemble to my key
10. Get the paint / bodywork sorted. There are a few knocks, and a little of the tin-worm in the usual places
11. Source some SE side skirts
12. Source some beige stripe sports front seats to match the rest of the interior
13. M-Tec2 wheel? Maybe
14. Thinking about one of those slimline amplified subs to go under the passenger seat
15. Get the wheels refurbed. They are corroding on the sides of the spokes
16. Sell it and buy a Boxster / E36 M3 / E39 M5.

Point 16 is a long way off!

Usual Servicing
Rear drums to do
Sump replaced
Undent the floor

Still pondering getting new suspension when i can afford it, didn't get the bursary from uni (cheap buggers don't like experienced people, just want students that can pass exams?! )

Bloody Hell!! These are all major rebuilds. Flashbstard - has that got an MOT??

Re-place all bushes front and rear.
Swap diff's over.(again)
New rear discs and pad's.
Re-place o/s sill
Turbo when cash allow's.
And some paint too.
