Everythings all painted ready for the finally detailing Tomorrow. Will take afew pics once it's all done.

Looks good, I'll have to keep an eye out for it. Also I might have that missing bit of bumper trim in my garage too.

Haha cheers. Just need to finalise order with Paul at Miland tomorrow then should have all other parts on the way. FYI to do all this is about $1200 in parts if anyone is considering it. also my box from schmiedmann is in the country, had to pay duty on it today and decided its too much hassle/un-needed costs to strip and power coat everything since its only really the very bottom of diff carrier that's stone chipped so got some chassis paint and bits to tidy it all up. TBC...

Haha cheers, not really something I wanna forget where they go and might be a while before it's all cleaned and ready to refit so better play it safe

Right, so pulled everything apart and had a good look at it all and discovered why I was getting a lot of noises coming from the rear end. both rtab's were rooted, as were the top and bottom arm outter ball joints. one of the bottom arms were so bad it had bent the bolt going through it and couldn't get it out to get the arm off so had to cut the bolt off. also noticed the subframe bushes are starting to show signs of cracking, as are all the diffs ones so will need to order them, and might as well get new sway bar links while Im at it, and diff seals so it doesn't leak over all my nice newly painted rear end

Gave it a water blast Saturday to clean most the grime up, will pull it all to bits tonight to take to pro coat to have it all blasted and powder coated, or might just paint diff and sway bar and clean/ polish diff cover and mount. See how things look once it's all apart. Was thinking about putting the trailing arm pocket reinforncement plates in while it's all out but probably abit overkill. And I don't wanna moleste it too much, might be worth something one day

HB! Let's hope you get a radio controlled car you can't brake in 5 mins

Looks great both in and under the car! Nice work

Looks good, and so tidy!

Got bored last night so replaced the rack ends and pulled out the rear subframe to replace bushes and give it a clean up. Will put some picks up later, to busy sitting in the sun drinking piss haha

Yea that's pretty much the going rates

Just all factory stuff, but still in two minds about the rtab. Have a set of nolethane for them aswell I might put in first as they don't need presse in so easy to swap out for rubber ones.

Do something bright like orange, green or pink. Plastidip?

Haha I had the same thing on the 328i! I just wired it up as normal and never gave a problem.

http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....showtopic=42850Here's my thread on the old girl with pics of headlights

had a box of all the bushes for the rear arms show up yesterday so might make a start in the weekend pulling everything out to get them all done. might get the arms and bits painted while im at it too. might do vanos rebuild while its out of action, and think I need to change my diff oil...making a horrible noise when turning at half lock while going slow.

what? Function over form? that's a first! Ive got yellow tinted highbeam lenses and they get a wof and work sweet as at night

Very nice as always Tristan.

All good Steve, it's people like you I love in life! Take an idea that seems impossable and makes it happen, and shut afew people up on the way haha! Can't wait to see her in action.

Good to see you back, even if it is brief, looks like you've been having fun! Are you planning on running it up on a dyno? Be very interested to see what it's putting out. And some vids!!!

I almost brought that, should of bid the extra 50 buks and would of been mine... Sold for 2150. Is a auto 318i

Oyea, they look good, still havn't had a chance to get them done yet, got a half day on tues so hoping I've got time to sort them.

GC! I'm just gutted Tyler didn't keep his e30 to put them on, need some tough e30s down here, ohwell. Cant wait to see them on the vert tho, hope you like guard pulling
