    Default MiddleEast Migrant

    Born in Germany but raised in Japan, here are a couple of photos of my 91 535i.

    I dont believe they're virtual car show material yet but with a couple of TLC and wax treatment, she'll be good as new. Of course it does help that the base I am working on is a beautifully crafted e34

    Default Cheap thrills with a neat option

    I love the rear sunshield. At least I dont have to put on those foils at the back.

    Hi Ken
    looks good and the paper you sent me from the inspection in Japan shows it too.
    Can immy see that it is a jap. specification car, as the econometer shown km/liter.

    Have a nice drive in the hot climate there.
    Maybe you need another thermostat which opens earlier.
    Just in case that engine coolant gets too hot. There are also larger radiators available in the version for tropical countries.

    Elrich-san, domo arigato!

    The auction report (paper) I sent to you was for the 540iT.

    This car has its own auction report paper which I have attached...for transcribing. I hope there are no fees to it other than a hot sake should you decide to come over to this side of Asia (as the Middle East remains to be geographically part of the Asian continent).

    I have a little problem with this car though...what to do with the cloth siding which is starting to peel off from its leather attachment. Any suggestions on what would be the best adhesive for this?

    To clarify, GORILLA is the brand, yes? Is that clear glue which you can pick up in bookstores?

    Most hardware stores, as well as most automotive sections of large stores have it. The glue itself is a yellowish color.

    Look for this:
