I havent updated this in a while.... Mainly due to starting a new job and having next to NO time to actually do anything with the car... But I have a few sneek peeks as to what I HAVE been up to during the little time I do have....

I found an E32 735 in my works which had a few things I wanted... and maybe a few more bits once Ive looked into the mechanics of it...

1st of all the parts Ive taken of it (and yes, my new job is in a scrap yard... and incase your wondering, I had it all free of charge, god I love my new job!)

Replacement instrument cluster as mine are faulty


RARE AS HELL genuine BMW tweeter pods for the doors


Replacement check control gong as I think mine might be on its way out


I know, your all thinking that Im going to just replace the clocks and be happy with having a working set....



NOPE!! lol

Im feeling my way through how to change the backlight colour of the clocks (easy enough as I did it before with my Vectra GSI) but I wanna do it properly so its 'take apart' time lol

Ive ordered the crystal M5 rear lights aswell and they should be here soon!!

Roll on the 23rd when my projector eye headlights arrive

Thats it for now, I will be doing a full update soon and a list of my near future plans, theres a few things I really wanna do before the Donny car show in April so I dont have much time!

bye for now!

Ello everyone!!

Today has delivered an awesome new bling part for my car, but Ill get to that in a min...

1st, my OBC.... ITS FULLY WORKING!! WOOHOO!!!

No strange problems, just a blown bulb so it cant really be seen in the daylight, a small problem.




And now onto the new bits...




Thats right, THEY HAVE ARRIVED!!

These are exactly the lights that I wanted and they are even better in the flesh than in the pics

This friday should bring my projector eyes! How awesome is that!

Ive had a quote at £1,400 for the full re-spray, which Ive been told is cheap but I hope to better that quote!

This weekend? Im gonna try and get around to fitting my lightbrows and spraying up all the plastics and giving the interior a good clean (seats out job).

That is all

RARE AS HELL genuine BMW tweeter pods for the doors

my family has had 5 bmw's (e32/e34) with those tweeter pods....how rare exactly are they again?

[Spice Boy]

Depends on what part of the world your from I guess.

[JesterE34]

i guess. still tho i wouldnt expect something like that being rare in the UK. :shrug:

[whiskychaser]

Colour looks like mine which is called 'dolphin'. I only know cos it says so on the osf wing. Lot of work going on there - someone steal your radio? :-)

[Spice Boy]

Only a quick update....

I have got around to fitting the lightbrows and I have fitted the rear lights to see how well they fitted and if they needed sealing to stop water getting in....







Ive priced up a fast road clutch for my car at £125 and seeing as mine will need changing soon I think this is the way to go

Ill do another update soon with more detail.

Bye for now!

Love the color. Did it have a late night?

Not liking the eyebrows and crystal lights that much, but other than that it's cool. Always fun to see lots of pics of DIY going on.
