[braxtonator]

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

Give him a kick for me too mate.
Where did you get this from and whats it look like on the car?

[Royalratch]

Ratch, whats a Heckblende?

Hecke = rear or at the back and Blende = trim / blending part.

It's just a rear licence plate trim but in the rear light plastic so it maintains the colour across the back - looks cool:

[e30ata]

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

whats this i am reading ste
how did u get on with the tourer

I love this look. Would this fit a tourer? Steve dont worry about a 2 post ramp, get it upto my place when its running and driving and we can get the underseal on nice and easy with the exhaust and prop removed. might bob over later in the week to pick up the lift if you have done with it (i know you havent got your van). Got mine all welded up at the weekend and burnt my eyes nicely. get that dishwasher cranked up, we wont tell the missus.!

[Royalratch]

Won't fit Tourers - already tried.

[scottidog]

Won't fit Tourers - already tried.

Thanks anyway.

Steve if you want these i will fetch them! They are brand new kenwoods and sound very good, not much use for a radio anymore, cant remember how many watts they are!

[spook]

Cheers for that Ratch, for one minute i thought you where on about the rear valance, it took me 3 months to find mine and some big bucks

which rear valance are you using chris ? pre- or facelift ?

[spook]

Facelift rear, prefacelift on the front, i will tidy up my Hartge thread when i get back from Prague, ive got stuff posted all over the place.

[Felix79]

Really nice to see the progress your making buddy.

How much longer do you think it will be before you'll take it for the MOT?

[e30topless]

cheers felix

I doubt it will get out of the garage until early spring,
unfortunatly I work abroad a lot in winter so i won't have much time to do anything after the next few weeks,
I have spent most of today just fitting clips/ trim ect and it's coming along nicely, but not much need to update any pics,
tommorow it WILL run fingers crossed ! just the exhaust to fit in the morning before I try it

i'd get that lot done for you if you were closer!

[jbh]

Steve just read this from start to finish. ive missed a fair bit on this thread as i remember it when you first started it. well hats off to you and looking very sweet will be lovely when its finished.

Im hoping to find a hartge rocker cover soon as it adds so much class to under the bonnet but doing good on my other Hartge finds.

hope to see more progress on this soon

[e30topless]

it's only about 200 miles away

got your pm will give you a call


well after messing around all day with the turd, it wouldn't turn on the key,
after reading daimlermans topic I removed the spazbox inhibiter loom and she turns over, exellent !....still won't fire

discovered the petrol pipes were fitted the wrong way around

switched them over and it fired into life straight away what a f@@in relief !


I am using the hartge system with a fritzbitz centre box and it really does rumble

can't wait to drive it but that won't be for a while, still got loads to do

[jlb]

It all fits together alright with that frits box then Steve?.....Sound well?

[sweep]

Does it sound sweet steve?

yeah it sounds great, cheers james

Does it sound sweet steve?

absolutely

just got in from the garage I got a waterleak .. i must have broken the elbow on the back of the head when i slotted it in

it's not the first time i have done this putting in an M20,
I will have to undo the mounts and lift the lump forward so i can change it I knew it went in too easy !

[Simon13]

easy job! i know you give me your car and i'll fit all the silly clips and fit all the looms in the right places and you can finish mine?!

Red leathers for you sir? I'm tempted but lack of funds, but if you do then you wont need something else!

[e30topless]

fast going off the idea of red leather ! think it's black for me,

a certain zoner possibly has a nice set coming up for sale

Si, shame I don't live closer would love to help out on the pina
or you doing all my wiring

as for funds running out, tell me about it, getting hard to justify the amount i have spent on this turd probably around 7k ? I have stopped counting, and there's lots more trips to the stealers yet ...

[Simon13]

i'm well up on that sum! but you don't do this kind of thing and worry about the money but the end result. A chariot you can cruise around in being a hero and the envy of all the cum on here!!

[e30topless]

. A chariot you can cruise around in being a hero

looking forward to that day

you think the pina will make it to the pod next year ?

[e30topless]

bit of an update ....

things are going pretty good

just need to source the seats/doorcards fit OBC and the interior is almost finished

not sure if i should fit electric windows I like the keep-fit versions

immaculate dash fitted (took me all day to do it carefully)


decided to go with the grey carpet, me thinks black would be too much I think along with black headlining and black leather


fitted the sunroof correctly, wasn't happy with the headlining so I re-fitted it looks much better now, anyone got ideas on what I should use to clean it ?


I think I have spent more time on the sunroof and headlining than i have on sticking the M20 in !

the engine is running great, although it's very tight ,
here's a short vid on the first startup after fixing the waterleak
it's a bit noisy without centre box don't think my neighbours approved

Glad my grief has helped you out,grand read,is that cabbie on the previous page(with the gay red plastic number plate panel) the neon green one you promised on page one?
There MUST be another neon green cabbie on the zone other than mine!

[bss325i]

Coming along nicely!

I hate pulling roof linings out and refitting them. Deffo one of the most tedious/fiddely jobs on an E30!

Pm on its way.

[e30topless]

my neon green cab has long gone, it is now sporting phat wheels and a tech2 kit !

and yes Malc your topic helped me out big time cheers!

[Dezzy]

[tonybtonyb]
