to this, The final pieces, new leather handbrake and gear lever gaiters arrived last week so a bit of glueing and a bit of trimming and hey presto.
I am very pleased with the final result.
Just a few more details, the seats are the BMW Recaro style out of a 325i sport and are almost as new. Just about everything on the inside has been replaced ( basically anything blue), carpet, rear parcel shelf, all four door cards, glove box, centre console (both bits), Knee panel under the steering wheel, gear knob, both gaiters and of course the seats. I have spent quite a bit of time sourcing them all. I was not to keen on the original blue, I think the black and grey look is much better.
Stage Two will be the cleaning of all the paint work, outside trim and the engine bay. All pretty mucky but sound. Just hard work needed. There is a small amount of discoloured paintwork to do but no real rust problems so not to bad.
Then Stage Three will be the mechanicals. Full replacement cam kit, clutch, full service, replace a few small items like heat shield, HT leads, battery and any bushes that that are gone.
Finally have the BBS alloys refurbed, new tyres all round, MOT,tax , insurance and then enjoy it. Should be good enough to put in a few shows hopefully. I don't think it will be finished this year though, probably next spring unless I can get a rush on, which is no longer easy at my age.
Big thanks to friends in the BMWcc for helping me source all the bits, my mate Steve Cooper for sorting me out with the seats, Keith Bridge, Guy Southern and Kev Royle for some of the other bits. Also a good source for a lot of the parts was Chris Warburton here on the E30zone, top man. It will probably be a while before the next update but I'll try to keep the info coming if people are interested.
Thanks for looking, hope you approve.
Cheers Steve.
