pick up a new car for the wife.

[BM WORLD 1286]

so i will have to go through the manual conversion thing all over again .

was looking for another e34 V8 , but settled on this e34 beacuse of the millage and condition etc .

drive real nice , very tight , only shows 66,000km , sth african built ex japan ,

17" alpina's , front and rear alpina spoliers , steering wheel ,

255 and 235 tyres .

stupid tv thing instead of a glove box .

cruise control , leather centre console etc . very simlier to the other black one i sold with the hartge bits .

Well done Brent. I'm sure we'll see it roaring around in no time.

Looks very nice Brent. So it's an Alpina replica on the outside?

yes too many , lots of wof's and reg's , insurance etc .

tv goes , but its only ntsc so only black and white with snowy pic and no sound (wrong sound freq) .

sorted the auto problem out , (was changing gears when it was design to do , and i dont like that ).

so I swaped it out for a manual 5spd .

used a e36 328i gear lever to shorten the throw distance etc .

and manage to find a matching leather covered glovebox to replace the silly TV thing .

fitted a large case 3.45LSD to replace the silly mid size 3.91 open diff.

just need to sort he stereo out now .

Nice work Brent. Leather covered glovebox is cool, is it rare?

resonably rare ,all the centre console ,glovebox and right side under dash panel all leather covered .

quite a few sth african built cars imported via japan i have seen have this.

[Yuen 16]

I'm guessing it's the 'extended leather' option that BMW offers. Might be a nice touch to put an Alpina shift knob in to go with the theme!

[BM WORLD 1286]

new gear knob .

to replace the loose one.
