[Baz666]

[magpie]

[ImysE30]

Cheers Baz

I like to do as much as i can, only the engine will be fitted by someone else, all the rest my own work

Sneaky shot

[markus_74]

a lot of cable wire, this need hard work and knowledge.

good job if you have successful to installed it.

waiting your next step

[ImysE30]

I have my other cabby which has helped a lot for reference

Next step is brake servo, heater box, re-fit dash and then off to get engine fitted

[beemerbird]

Yeah good luck with that deadline fella

Looking good mate, I've seen it 1st hand anyway it will be smart when completed

Keep up the good work and I am sure you'll keep posting, bookmakers aren't taking any odds that you won't

Well i've got a bet on with me dad for me to get it ready for 1st/2nd week in Sept otherwise he keeps the car

Doesn't help that i'm not going to be eating/drinking for 16 hours of the day for the next 4 weeks

Well make sure you check and double check everything you do as you go along. Don't want some hunger - driven mistake to send this project to an early bath.

Best put down the keyboard and get stuck in then! Looks good so far

[ImysE30]

Can't put the keyboard down at work

I'm double/triple checking everything as i go along, that's taking up most of the time

Didn't realise the pre-facelift looms already had a ABS loom fitted

[DanThe]

They didnt, the later looms had ABS integrated, early stuff had a separate loom

[ImysE30]

I think it's the other way round Dan

[maddogg]

I hate wiring jobs... Good luck though mate... It will all be worth it in the end

[ImysE30]

Hope so too

[scottidog]

do you have a build thread for this car imys? Im in process of fitting m3 rear wings to my tourer so keen to see (steal) ideas of yours

Scotty

[ImysE30]

Sorry, no pic's of when the kit was fitted/sprayed

[scottidog]

Off topic i know! Do you mind if i ask which rear wings you used, i got all oem front end and rear bumper. Thought about fiberglass ones but havent purchased yet, been looking at these

Would feel alot better about buying them if the car in the picture wasn't obviously a genuine M3

[goosiegander]

41352238267 41352238268 part number for arches, about £200 per side

[ImysE30]

All panels on this are Genuine BMW

All metal, no fibreglass shyte.

Been having fun over the last few days wiring up a Minor with Fiat twin cam, and Mini wiring loom - it gets even more interesting when you are working on a car made from three others, having to splice together a loom while looking at three Haynes manual wiring diagrams!

Intriguing to see E24/E23 alloys on a 3-series.

[ImysE30]

Sounds like fun

TBH, the wiring wasn't really hard to do, i reckon i could do it again in an hour or so Getting it all through the little hole takes up most of the time

Let's just hope it all works

[Dezzy]

You have the makings of a top car there.

Hope it turns out as you want it mate.

Please done fit topline sh1te to this one

Shame its a gay cab as a turbo M30 M3 hardtop rep would have been very

[ImysE30]

I've gone off the idea of toplines now , got me 16" BBS's now

Cheers for the compliment

Cab's are way cooler anyway

[Rav335uk]

Which ones did you get imy, BBS's???

[ImysE30]

Just some standard one's for now, use them for the 'winter'

Can't afford any 'bling-bling' one's just yet

[bmw-mad]

Looking good Imy Car looks good

Would have thought there would have been more progress by now
