Found a few more pictures:
The fan switch I bought was knackered but luckily found an 'in hose' one from another project I have:
Was having a think about a radio as the didnt come with one, had a rifle through my old tat and found one, problem was it doesnt have an internal amplifier so needed amps, ended up with the following pile of bits which took 2 days to install, lovely braided cables through the car, very stealthy install in the boot for the amps and the sub in small enclosure moulded into the passenger footwell. (only an 8" one but as it was up front gave a loveley punch!)
Spent a couple of hours tweeking it and was gettting fairly happy with the sound but a few rattles meant it needed sound deadening. I also had loads of dynamat extreme left over from a previous project so took the drivers door card off to apply it.
Then sat back and thought - this car is for trackday and weekend fun, why the hell am I filling it with extra weight
So out it all came and in went the headunit from my discovery project with had an internal amp and found some old coaxials instead of the components.
Sounds just fine, keeps me entertained on the motorway! What a waste of time!
So onto the brakes. Got a WMS kit from Keri so that I could use the original BBS wheels:
Thought I would post up a comparision on old front calipers, wms and some proper 4 pots, maybe if I go for bigger wheels we can get these fitted
Unfortunately need 19" to fit these

And finally came up with a benefit of working with 15 year old cars everyday with BMW engines, the remote diag systems we used to use will work on my car with the relevant software in it:
Very useful for trying to find out the cause of my overfuelling!
