Very good skills mate, am impressed.

Another E30 saved, thats the best part about it! So many E30's being broken up and I'm sure that yours would have fallen into that category as there are a few people ready to make money from another rot suffering BM.

God speed Will :D

If you have a mbc (circuit breaker) and not a rewire-able fuse swap it for a type C rather than a type B problem solved.

Why don't you just stick in a rubber bung to cover the hole.

Hey will, obviously it looks fantastic, you must be chuffed. On the subject of the aerial i'm currently running one of these behind the dash on my civic: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 1519wt_905

It can be hard to get good reception but for the price you can't complain.
