325i Cabby Project/Resto -Small update 18-11-10

Nah forget that, i'll just keep it in an heated garage and admire it

Dezzy's just jealous innit

When's the Tech 1 going on?

When i get it painted, which will be when i next get paid. A week on friday

then i need some Rimz innit

Fancy a set of hartges, want something different over the usuall 15" BBS, mind you i might just swop the wheels of the IS over when that gets locked away

Should look good once it's been sprayed up

Alpina's would look good too

Or some phat wide rimz with stretched tyres innit bruv

[Alex]

should do

once its on the road i need to take it to someone who can fit a rear screen too as mine is cloudy as fook

I might just stick a set of steelies on it for the winter aslong as long the tyres are good and it will pass an MOT, the tyres on it at the min are badly cracked and look close to illegal in places

[ImysE30]

Is it zip-in or sew-in?

Banded steelies FTW

[Alex]

sew-in unfortunatly

[ImysE30]

Ahhh like mine, luckily I have a spare screen but hope I don't have to fit it anytime soon

It can be done DIY, a couple of Scottish Zoner's have done it IIRC

[Alex]

Aye topblag has done it, sounds like a chew and an epic fail if i did it

[ImysE30]

Transparent duck tape if your friend

[Alex]

Took the alpina stripes off the other day, power washer did that for me



not much of an update really, got a few bits and bobs, got some tweeter pods, 3rd set ive bought now and bought them in the states as its much cheaper, costs £28 posted or something like that, there alot more cheaper including postage from over there. you used to be able to get them for £20 posted but the exchange rate is crap

fitted the number plates, looks like a car now

non GB plates FTW





yes i know the badge is coming off its sold





arch needs painting then thats that done



never got round to getting the kit painted yet, i bought a new 32" tv instead

Ive deffintly done a deal with some blue leatherz now just need to pick them up

fitted a blue temp senosor and it runs millions better however a bit of hesitation and the odd cough still there but nothing like before

before i fit the blue leather seats i might install an aftermarket heated seat kit and use e30 switches ?

PS: anyone know what this light next to the brake pad wear sensor is, it comes on and off intermittently

[Ollie_bwoii]

Did you get the plates done by dealerplates?

I really like how they come out, brought a set for my turd and my dad's 190E... both make a massive difference.

[Alex]

no these were £7.99 including shipping for a pair on ebay

[VW-will]

that rear arch looks far from done bar painting? :/

Thanks for your constructive comment.

You obviosly work in a bodyshop, i dont its the first time ive attempted such thing, this car will never win anyprizes and like ive said many times in this thread its just something to use in the summer, its more of a bit of fun and a car i can use for a couple of year, baring in mind the tech 1 skirt covers nealy all of that.

I think I have managed to glean some points from the mashup of letters above but I'm with Alex, you need to go back to basics and write some English here.

This is not meant to be elitist but if you're spelling is that bad, write your posts in Word and use the grammar and spell checker to fix them.
