Hypocrisy .

Heh heh.....

Move it from the garage to the barn to finish/start welding the exhaust back up. It's too humid, and mosquitoes like me more than, well, I guess anything, ever.

Got it on club plates. Finally legal.

purchased a couple parts from Mr. Bedoya, thanks man. Also bought a radiator from Bimmerparts as my passenger end tank has started to leak.

next up is to make a list of the required cooling hoses (and purchase them) for the upcoming repair.

Worldpac here I come.

Reinstalled the front airdam, bumper (a bit closer in than stock), and surrounds.

I knew it was really bad, but still this was a bit surprising.
Last week we picked up a new ride for my wife's daily, so now the e28 is an "extra" car.

Next discovered the transfer pump inop was simply the fuel pump relay. Nice to have it up and working well again.

Yesterday: front and rear brakes done on the 535is. Fogs taken out.

Today: 535is passed inspection, replaced alternator belt on the eta because it got twisted somehow.

Tomorrow: wash day!

Not my style but looks pretty good!

I think its pretty cool! Maybe you could make them to order.

Haha, it's not THAT easy. There's a guy on R3V who makes them in any fabric for like $20.

I'm not mass producing them and I'm not great at it so I personally don't think it would be worth my time.

But if anyone wants tips, I'll be glad to give some!

This was a few days ago, but I stripped my stereo out of it and put it in my E30.

Are matching door cards next? Head liner?

scott s · Post by **scott s** » Aug 09, 2011 1:56 AM

If I keep the car long enough, yes to door cars and visors, probably not headliner. My interiors pretty good so I'm leaving it for now.

Saturday and Sunday, brought home some E34 goodies for the E28.

rmiddendorf · Post by **rmiddendorf** » Aug 09, 2011 8:06 PM

Replaced the odometer gears and the OBC computer light but now my temperature gauge is no longer working.

briansmith · Post by **briansmith** » Aug 09, 2011 8:43 PM

Relays.
Basic cleaning, taillamp bulb contacts cleaning, drove it to and from work with the sound system cranked up...

Hey, I sold advertising for 2.5 years, quite well I might add. Its all about frequency!*

After almost 5 years of procrastination, I installed the rear strut brace.

Listened to REM's "Monster" and sat in it. . .

S38Mike · Post by **S38Mike** » Aug 14, 2011 4:54 AM

VR1 for the engine, Redline for diff and trans, brake flush, valve adjustment, plugs, cap, rotor, wires, S50 tensioner, centerlink tie rods, idler arm, motor mounts, 4 Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2's. More to come....

Five two eight eye · Post by **Five two eight eye** » Aug 14, 2011 9:14 AM

Tightened the belts on the 533, installed a new icm on the 528i, and charged the battery on the other 528i.

Karl Grau · Post by **Karl Grau** » Aug 14, 2011 8:05 PM

Worshed & waxed and then stood around and made smart remarks while Jeff & Darin put the interior in Jeff's car.

funfunfer · Post by **funfunfer** » Aug 14, 2011 9:36 PM

cut more rot from the right front floor. Undercoating is soooo overrated as a rust preventative measure..
realized the flex joint in the header is toast.
rearranged the spare bronzit body parts.
watched a very promising squall line fall apart 5 miles from the house. Another week of 100+ temps. Is this the inverse of winter in Wisconsin? I feel trapped by the heat.

i replaced every last fuse, fixed turn signal, and installed a new radio deck. luckily the PO did all the work of running new speaker wire, unfortunately they are terrible at putting things back together
