Long time stalker - first time poster

[SwedishJeff]

Yup. First post for me anywhere here... been tinkering on my 325is for 3-4 years now. Alpine weiss, s52 swap w/ ArcAsylum subframe, custom just about everything.

Thank you everyone for being part of this community and making my journey all that much easier and enjoyable! You guys rock.

To reciprocate I'd like to share a write-up I made for installing/modifying an E46 parking brake console/armrest/cupholder.
I made it all in word and PDF... have no idea yet how to share. Will learn... in the meanwhile, is there an admin or something I can email this file to?
I think it would be a fine addition to the wiki section.

Maybe someday I'll get around to making a build thread but there are over 300+ pictures gathered so far. Feels more overwhelming than the project itself lol. Kudos to everyone that works double-time to make these fantastic build sagas come to life!

Cheers from Cali

Love the quilted leather, were the seats done locally and what was the cost if you don't mind me asking.

Thanks!

Inspired by the newer Mercedes SUVs,

Walter @ E30LOVE.com (he's in Hayward, CA) did the work. I just gave him my bits, picked materials & pattern. He does really good work & affordable. Think I paid about $2k for the whole thing (incl shift boot, etc).

He's got stuff on Fleabay too. Saw "my" set there not too long ago. I'm honored TBH. I think it's badass
