Mash 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2010 E28 lowed, and cert. But sits on 50mm springs at the moments until cert plate arrives, then will drop it back down to certified height which is another 60mm rear 70 front. Should be here late January.

E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted January 4, 2011 Had to butcher the lower part of the M-sport rear body kit to get the towbar to fit on properly. The bar was supposed to fit on with a sport kit bit needed quite a bit to be cut out to get it on, was also supposed to fit a wagon but needed some major mods to get it on.

Jacko 2153 Report post Posted January 4, 2011 Removed the epically complicated heated window squirter/headlight washer system that leaked like a sieve and had wires/tubes/T-connectors up the wazzooo. KISS was not the motto for this system on an E30, WTF were they thinking! Two wires, 1 tube, no leaks FTW. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shady 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2011 Got bored on Tuesday & Wednesday, so I took one wheel off at a time, and scrubbed the insides of all 4 wheel arches/bays thoroughly. They were all looking black (from the filth), but after a wash they were Blue again - factory colour (huge build up of roadfilth, dirt, rubber from skids, grease, alsorts of crap etc). Then once all 4 were nice and clean I painted the front arches/bays Gloss Black. May paint the rear Gloss Black too, but passenger rear arch needs another quick scrub cos some rubber wouldnt come off... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
