Yeah it looks quite low right... my clutch leg doesn't hit it but its close, real close, im going to wait till i get some race seats for it then hopefully ill sit a bit lower that the factory seats, but if it gets in the way ill have to get another bar put in, if worst comes to worst.. i think it looks nice though :blink:

I'll modify it for you on the cheap if it is a problem

Is your boot being held down with pins as well?

I'd like to copy your e30 window winder trick. Does the gear from the e30 winder mesh fine with the e36 window stuff(can't think of word)

sorry im not sure how or if ill be using pins for the boot...

so today i cleaned up all the underneath of the car were the welds show through and painted, and also found some burnt wiring that runs to the speedo sensor on the diff. will fix that tomorrow, i installed the rubbers around the rear windows and cut the over hang off, you know that bit that goes over the interior trims. they look much better now..

gave the car a good wash, and also tomorrow i will install the boost gauge and make floor plates, well thats the plan...:P

:D Happy New Year i hope everyone got to relax and have a great time, wow 2012, supposed to be the end of the world right... haha we'll see. so anyway had a great holiday away and i go back to work on the 9th, with the misses back at work now that will give me a few days of doing what i love..

So today i got the rear inner door handles out of a E38 as they are deeper and will sit flush with my alloy trims, fitted them to my front doors and also made a pull strap out of the leather strip on the center arm piece of a E34 which i will be fitting tomorrow...

ive changed the door cards to this, it will have a black leather strap as thus was just to see if it worked. using the outer door window rubber moldings on an 850i cut down and placed on the inside of my doors got rid of the ugly clips that would usually hold the trim on. it looks alot nicer i think.. matches the back ones now.

so today i started on my parcel shelf, it involved alot of cutting cardboard then taping it to the alloy sheet then using a grinder and an round carbine die grinder bit. i got a lil carried away, but this is not unusual for me. it is mostly done but will need another day to finish it with the separator from the boot to cabin installed.. let me know what you think?
