lmao ari

Agreed though, wheel-guard height is probably 'even' but sill-ground height looks to be raked down at the front..

Either way, its good to know its only temp!
That list has to be getting smaller now?!

[hakhawk]

not a lot of progress lately, still waiting for some parts.

i did get a new gearshift boot, as the old one was a bit stuffed.

quick pic with the new boot and gearknob stolen from the e21 for now



going to have a play with the drivers door trim, few bits need fixing on it, hopefully get it staying on the door for roady, while i track down some good nick ones.

[hakhawk]

so i pulled the sideskirts off the other day, because whoever put them on last did a bang up job!! silicon, uneven, no screws on the bottom!!

gave the car a quick bath and cleaned up the sideskirts to go back on. sikaflex, double sided tape and some painters tape to hold in place while sikaflex dries. i will screw the bottom up once its dry.





and a random shot of the front, will be replacing the crappy mesh with a proper m3 mesh grille(or if i can find one, maybe m3 slats)

[Pub247]

Thought about painting it black in the meantime?

[soop]

I really like that model BMW.
Pitty they have a toy motor.

[hakhawk]

Thought about paintign it black in the meanttime?

yeh, its on the list, just gotta get around to masking up the bumper around it to paint it.

I really like that model BMW.
Pitty they have a toy motor.

i couldve gotten a m50/s50 6cyl for 5-6k more, but it is just a daily(and i didnt have that much cash spare). i can soon do a swap later on if i get bored.

[soop]

Knowing you, it will be sooner rather then later too :P

[hakhawk]

some parts arrived at work today

guibo(between gearbox and driveshaft)
rear control arm(a not bent one )
drivers door seal
rear seatbelt



get these bits on, finish fixing the door trims, get some tyres and its just about ready for roady

[soop]

Control arm looks about as substantial as my flatulence.

[hakhawk]

lol, its a lower control arm, the upper one is the chunky one, but its currently bent and touching the swaybar mount, cant have that, and well it cost me all of $45

[50LTRv8]

It is looking good so far, keep it up

[VKCOMMO]

Looking good son

[hakhawk]

so i threw my old wheels on from the wagon(which now belong to my sister, when she can afford tyres), we'll call them "placeholders" while i get some new tyres put on the 17s tomorrow.



put the new seatbelt in tonight, and the new drivers door seal yesterday, turns out the doors didnt close very well because one of the previous owners put the old seals on the wrong sides!!!!! getting close to roady now!!

[VKCOMMO]

getting close to roady now!!

goodie, I bet your ecstatic

[GenReaper]

IMO i like the origional wheels better.
Nice dog too

[Wombles]

There's more updates to be heard!!! Inform us Troy!!

[hakhawk]

so i had yesterday off, so i could go get tyres put on the wheels. after i got that done, i managed to get the control arm replaced, and got the guibo bolted up, but had to pull the exhaust off to do it, the whole time i was under the car it decided ti piss bucket rain on and off, finished it off today, and got the passenger side door trims on, got the drivers rear one on(it looks like crap, but isnt falling to bits), rear seat back in, plastics all back on, wheels on, and i painted the mesh on the bumper as per pub247's request

passenger door trims all done, with chrome door handles!!





new tyres on, had to go 235/45s, as 225s were above the "roadworthy/backup" tyre pricing for me. the m3s ran this size, so should be all good. looks crap though, way too big for the car, wont be using them for long if i can help it anyway



shot of the cluster showing what i believe is genuine ks. no error lights, YAY!!



and front shot with painted mesh.

[VKCOMMO]

Nicey Nicey hakky, Now off to the blueslipper..

[hakhawk]

im not in nsw fool, we have roadworthy certificates, none of this once a year crap

[Pub247]

Muchly improved hak 10x better with mesh painted doesnt look like some cheap ricer fibreglass bumper.

Thats very low kays considering what you paid seems like a good deal if its genuine

[ari666]

very nice black mesh, og wheels, clean trims. looks like a doctors car.

[hakhawk]

so uhh.....

[wraith]

Woo hoo the beast is on the road.

[hakhawk]

yep, passed roady this morning(once we found the vin number on the chassis ), called vicroads, they had a cancellation this arvo, rangled up some money, shot over there, half ripped the front lip off on the 100mm dip in the vicroads inspection bay, paid the money, walked out with plates!!

[wraith]

Sweet does that mean the mods can now start :P
