hybrid 1044 Report post Posted April 15, 2015 Yeah, I have some other plans for this ... and instead of painting it .. im replacing the whole wiper assembly with the below DTM wiper motor I have stashed away. Once thats done im going to cut down an e39 wiper and will be able to finally do my single centre wiper conversion + = Whats slowing me ? see that plastic cover behind the firewall .. I have to remove all of the wiring behind that ... *sigh* 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted April 27, 2015 Started some more weight cutting on the shell while the motors being built. These are the new rear door skins which will be pinned to where the doors go. Weighed the left overs at 14kg which is pretty good. Still have to drill holes everywhere and do the front doors.

euroriffic 612 Report post Posted May 1, 2015 Got bored last night so had a few beers with a mate and removed, cleaned, and tested my vanos solenoids. The mesh filters were virtually non existent so removed them To prevent any further disintegration. All tested out fine so gave a good clean and re installed. So that's one job off the list 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
