In the past I've gone down to the local brake shop and picked up the hard line / fittings and made it up myself with a pipe bender and flaring kit.

On the hunt for the wiring loom that connects ambient temp sensor to OBC. It runs from front left brake air duct to under the glove box. Part number - 6121386981 looks like this..

I presume you've seen this one on trademe, the listing expired yesterday.. https://www.trademe.co.nz/3996379336

Driveshaft is the same, hanger is slightly different between pfl/fl.

@Gaz yeah i thought so, wasn't expecting to get it for that price, he dropped it of for an extra $40 all the way from Motueka.

Pulled out the medium case open diff over the weekend and installed this medium LSD 3.9 I recently acquired..

@Skope classic

Agree with @Eagle, the valvetronic might need to be reactivated and put through the relearning process. Id suggest you download ISTA D and get a K+DCAN cable.

The carpet looks great 👍

Thank you @darren_mk, it has been very rewarding

When I was 18ish (over half my lifetime ago) I mounted a curb in my e30 and took out the sump on my m20 engine, ever since then I've loved the south African sump guard. This car isn't a SA native so decided to add a guard for extra protection. Hopefully I wont be mounting any more curbs and this will only provide added protection while on pot hole filled / bumpy CHC roads. This one was one I collected many years ago, when offering it up to the car I could see it was pretty bent up.. took it into a mates shop got it on the jig and bent it back into place.. after that the install went pretty smoothly.

The dash in this car wasn't to bad, only one crack in the standard e30 position. However, I've had a mint one sitting in storage for a few years now and I've been waiting for the right time to put it to use. So, out with the old and in with the new. I think this is the 3rd attempt at pulling out and refitting e30 dash, not a bad job certainly not as daunting as one may think - IMO the worst part is refitting the heater duct controls and associated clips. I don't have to many photo's of this process but here it is with the old dash completely removed.. While I was in there, I pulled out the old blue carpet that was pretty tatty and installed a better looking blue replacement that came into my possession from a friends parts car. Replaced as many of the seals in the air box as I could with new sticky foam from Bunnings. And retrofitted an OBC to replace the analogue clock, the only piece I need to complete the job is a piece of loom that connects ambient air temp and OBC horn. If anyone has this piece (including ambient air temp sensor) and don't need it I would be more than happy to purchase it from you. Re-installed and everything worked - Very happy boy!

Been able to make some pretty good progress with the old girl over the Christmas break. First off I acquired some 15" basket weaves from a fellow Bimmersport member a few weeks before the break I'm still not sure what wheels I'll end up with on this car but I thought 15's would look better than the 14" weaves its currently sitting on, also always wanted a set of 15's. I've got 2 new waffles sitting at BMW for me to pick up and 2 more on the way. They don't look to bad for a quick home refurb job, one day they will get a full restore. before.. After.. Got these RS's and slightly bigger lips (nothing to crazy) earmarked for the white coupe as well, these will get the full treatment (curbing removed, polished lips, repainted faces and new / refurbished bolts). Probably over the winter months.

Ive got this piece..

Sold

Would any Z3 fans be keen on this BMW Z3 sales promo VHS? Free to a good home, pickup CHC.

It sure is!

Very lazy! not even a quick dusting 😂

Ordered a couple to many of these clips. $65, happy to ship at buyers expense or can pickup in CHC.

Yeah, I think it is as well but until now liked the look more on modern cars, my 335i (e92) is white\black and I love it. Also agree with you re the black & silver plates, that should finish her off nicely.

Got the car back from paint shop late last week, spent the last few days putting it back together.. exterior is almost complete but have a lot of work to do inside. I was really unsure about repainting it white but I'm very happy with how she's turned out. What colour number plates should I go with? (seem to be pretty topical at the moment). A few pics of it in the driveway.. really looking forward to it getting some new wheels (more to come here).

Very scary!

"Restomod" 😂

Nice, so it did sell. I seen it was offered on trademe after the auction expired for 44 or 45k - I thought that was pretty reasonable.
