kulgan 1042 Report post Posted August 24, 2016 So, the spark plug boot arrived and I was all yayyy, I can put the car back together. Looked at the spark plug boot and was all DAMN. I ordered part 9 which I needed. Didn't order part 6 which is a must have to attach the lead to the boot. If I'm lucky there might be one in NZ as it's not E38 specific. If not I'll have to wait another 2 weeks before I can get the car back on the road. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BreakMyWindow 1874 Report post Posted August 24, 2016 Hate when that happens! Especially when it's something you're pre ordering and you need 4 sets not 2 because you forget about 2 banks of cylinders. Ex oseas only. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kulgan 1042 Report post Posted August 27, 2016 Pretty sure that was the L7 advertised on TM for a while. Not liking the addition of the M badges much..lol This little piece arrived yesterday so I can finally start getting the car back together again.. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here's a pic of it's last real outing with the Wellington guys when we did the trip over the Gentle Annie to Napier. It get's a weekly drive just to keep everything moving. I haven't done a lot to it recently as all my efforts have been going into getting my 4x4 van ready for the summer. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This particular project has been put on hold while I get my 4x4 van sorted for this summer. Certified self contained is the goal and I'm nearly there. About all I need to do on the 750i now is get it repainted and that probably wont be for a while yet either as the money for that might get spent on bigger wheels, bull bar and winch for the van. lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
