Here is the first of my "what the hell is this" or "how do I"posts. The restoration of my 320i cab has started and already I am stumped.

I have found an unluged cable under my rear seats, it splits of and goes into either side of the boot somewhere. I will post pics up tonight if no luck.

Cheers,

This may sound stupid but you could be right :D i think it was Bazooka that did a range of liquid cooled subs and amps a few years back if not still selling/making... would make sense though, any possibility of a past install being in there??

if its not plugged into anything... perhaps it was just put there for no reason what so ever?

Finally got round to tracing the pipes. After taking all the boot carpet apart I found a pipe leading to each recess at the rear of the boot. Whatever was there has been taken out so the pipes will be cut away this weekend.

Then the welding can start.

Thanks for all your creative ideas,

Jase
