Ive had a little play with some off cuts of carbon fiber,
Ive made some blanks for the unused switchs and for the computer ive removed, ive got a stereo blank already so im just refiting that.


Im also making one for the ashtray in the center console infront of the gear stick which im going to house switchs and batterycut off ect

Flocking looks amazing! Interested to know the durability of it on the dash (sounds odd but mine has the cage going through and most of the time is held on with zip ties as to fix it in the windscreen needs to be out!) as I would get mine done straight away!

[Nato_e30]

Cheers mate I did ask this and prey gave me a test sample and a skrew driver... scratched it to fk and it didnt come of, bearly marked it pal

[Green]

That flocked dash does look rather nice indeed . Watching this thread now, it's an interesting read and has nice pictures

[Nato_e30]

Cheers dude

Todays been a busy one
ive stripped the inlet manifold/rocker cover and thermostat housing and have dropped them at the media blasters/powdercoaters

Visable fire damage:






The cars always been function over anything else and it tired me driving it round tottally stripped out.. it was always tired me how its was always wet and damp windows need drying ect do im makeing it alittle plusher inside, ive made templates today out of cardbored which im going to use as templates on some fiber board then carpet with fleece, itl tottally tidyup the inside, im also cover the roof (inside) in fleece, and am fitting a carpet in the front but ive removed the weighty bulk of the underside of the carpet... all in all shouldnt add hardly any wieght and will transform the inside

[kangman]

That cardboard alone makes a huge improvement to the interior

[Nato_e30]

Well ive got some carbon door and quarter panels being made nice and cheap but to make these covers materials shouldnt cost more than 20 quid

Updateings!
Throttle body referb,


Upon taking it off I found the water chamber was blocked (being a 87 engine its obvious its never been off) I took the cover off... boom 3 snapped bolts!! Anyway some gentle persuasion and they were all Out in one piece.
Anyway ive left it soaking in a medium electostatic cleaner



Next im stripping the rest off and zinc treating it like I did on the drop links.. new gaskets and bolts and rebuild..
Next up ive taken the lower brackets off the axel carrier and welded new nuts on and made new plates there off to powder coat

[Nato_e30]

Little update

Picked up some revolution milleniums 15" et15 so no need for spacers and a light wheel
Of to media blast and powdercoat


Also acid dipped the thermostat housing
Before:


After:


Tomorrow ill be fitting a new thermostat and gaskets to both the thermostat housing and throttle then alloy coating them

[Nato_e30]

Today ive been making the panels out of fiberboard and have fleeced them also found some edging strip ive made use of



Also zink coated my throttle body and water chamber... the water chamber could have been better... but it isnt a show car so itl do.
