come on steve we need an update with lots of pics

[H35-24]

Being the Original Polizei isn't allways that much fun. Really loving the thread, but that brand new Hartge grill badge screams "LOOK THE OWNER DIDN'T FIND A BADGE WITH THE OLD FONT SO HE FITTED ME, A BRAND NEW 2009 BADGE"

I understand there isn't much out there, but then rather no badge at all. would be my suggestion.

I bought the one on the grille in a moment of madness, and fitted it because it was there

it won't be staying on rest assured

screw the pics chris, get up here this weekend and get your hands dirty

[e30topless]

I got the Hartge lump in tonight, another milestone !


celebrating with a bottle or 6 of the finest carlsberg the off-licence had to offer (might be late for work )

my aim is to have it piped up this weekend and running
I have fitted many M20's, but this went in so easy it was unreal !

maybe that was down to using an OEM BMW seatbelt to lower it in ?

[scottidog]

well done mate. took me ages to get pedal box back in

[Alex]

looking good, do you recon it will be moving under its own power by sunday

[e30topless]

ha ha are you around sunday steve?

yes i should be unless I am out part hunting !

looking good, do you recon it will be moving under its own power by sunday

hopefully will have it fired and checked, just to make sure everything internally is ok .
I doubt this will go outside again this year ? there is so much to do and i am trying not to cut corners or rush !!

when taking it apart I labelled everything and stored it carefully,
but still, it's a nightmare finding the correct nut/bolt piece of trim,

thanks god for sweep (pete) without him and his endless supply of 'as new spares' this project would never have got this far !

tommorow night I will be finishing the cooling system after yet another trip to the dealers

[jonny323i]

hard to think that engine came from this lol

[sweep]

Steve i will try and get over next weekend to help you as im tied up this weekend.

[e30topless]

Steve i will try and get over next weekend to help you as im tied up this weekend.

sure thing pete cheers,

not got as far as i wanted to this weekend I hoped to get it running but got sidetracked with other stuff !

managed to get the pedalbox changed over to manual,
something i have done a few times but still can't get the hang of it, has to one of the worst jobs on an e30

3 pedal rightness


the M20 is just about ready to go, with just a few bits to do, fill it with oil it will be ready to try !



maplight mirror fitted



picked up the Hartge rear silencer that was fooked, I had it re-wrapped in steel, mick the welder did a great job but I will be keeping a lookout for a better replacement


this arrived on friday from Germany, tommorow morning i will be kicking the postman in the bollocks


I might use the Heckblende from my moredoor but for now i put on a minty OEM surround, looks pretty good


a few side pics





and up she goes !
wish i could get a 2 post ramp into my garage

[Alex]

certainly getting there

Great thread steve, just read from start again....

Loving the silver, black stripe combo

However...................

Get rid of that manky washer bottle, i just happen to have a brand new one complete with new filter and cap to boot. I'm sure we could come to some agreement, as you'll no doubt have some E30 morsel i'm bound to be after

[sweep]

Loving working on this too.

thanks ollie
it will be at Gaydon and the pod next year even if i have to push it there

the post lately has been a big let down,
I have lots of parts "on their way " some ordered weeks,almost months ago
and when things arrive fooked it's not good
it's no wonder I would rather travel to collect !

[Royalratch]

Loving your work pal.

That Heckblende - that is criminal. They are soooooo hard to get hold of. It took me ages to get mine and I nought another just in case!

About your power sunroof loom - if there's no provision for it at the accessory panel there should be a twin feed coming out of the top left socket that splits into two - one of these can be your feed and I think it is actually for that purpose.

[e30topless]

cheers ratch,

wiring is not my strong point !

I intend on buying a 2 door scrapper to use for parts and comparison on what goes where ! there is no way I would strip my low mileage daily driver to find out !

next job is to retrofit electric windows ,OBC and cruise control with NO bodgery, I want it fitted as it would have been done in the factory down to the last screw ....

I considered air-con but it's hard to find a good completely rot free valance !

I've done this many times so feel free to PM / email / phone with questions though I'm sure man of your talents will knock that lot out in an hour or so.
