That interior is making me want to finally get around to putting my crack-free dash in. Nice looking fleet!

Update on the euro conversion...why is it these projects always take so much longer than you ever anticipated? A prophet said "Lifetime piling up". Anyway, I'm getting closer. Got the euro front valance all painted and installed.

Can't fault you for going Euro, that is how BMW intended this car to be. It'll still be "original" in that sense. Good luck :D

Big difference in the paint, looks great.

Love the roundel...have a left handed monkey wrench on your tool box?

I'm drilling away, then suddenly, fluid starts pouring on to the floor. I'm like WTF? Did I just go through the f'n radiator? Then, I'm wondering "why is it clear?" Next, the skin on my legs starts burning after I got a few splashes. Pop the hood.... Oh shit...the goddamn battery!
On the upside, brand new Interstate. Yay!

Question for you seasoned euro converters...cek, Chris? Anyone else?

Any advice on replacing the rotted off and rusty bolts on my rubber strips?

Almost a year to the date from the above photo. And as usual, I've been lazy about blowing the leaves off my driveway.

Always a blast to take the old boy out for a little exercise on some backroads on a nice fall day.
