Not sure what I posted up last, but I have done a fair bit on the old girl lately...

A few interior updates (pedals etc)... I am quite happy with the overall effect

I got hold of a Sport maplight mirror, which was an M5 only item on E28s - can anyone enlighten me on the orange LED mod ?

Plus some Audi Quattro gauges for oil pressure/temp and volts...

Some pics before a recent meet;

Went to replace the the soundproofing under the bonnet and found this:

But fortunately a mate was breaking one with a perfectly good bonnet so he swapped and painted it for me... so we are back to rust free :D
