Looks awesome, nice job

That reminds me, I need to change my passenger side as well. I did the drivers side years ago.

After you were done, did you have to realign your door a bit to relieve some pressure off of the window?

Wow, those are pretty. Either BBS or BMW roundel would look great. Paul did a great job, what was the turn around time and the final dimensions on your wheels? Thanks

Those look the same. Trying to find an OEM one with the rubber in good shape is tough but yet pricey. Just glad to know there's an aftermarket one available.

I was able to find one but for anyone that cannot locate a OEM M-Tech spoiler, there is finally an aftermarket one at a reasonable cost. Only drawback is, it's one piece vs 2 piece OEM. Looks pretty darn legit, check out the link below. https://www.classiceuroparts.com/product/boot-spoiler-for-bmw-e...

I used Chris Scow at Leather Wheels in Texas to recover my OEM steering Wheel and Auto shifter knob. You can choose to add extra padding, the type of stitching and color of stitch. He did a great job. Check out his website: info@leatherwheels.com Thanks Bob for getting the picture attachment sorted...

Welcome, being second owner is nice and also who was the original owner. Keeping it as original as possible will fetch you big bucks in the coming years.

Probably not. You'd have to take it take it out to rebuild it or buy a new one. if you haven't converted to the new refrigerant, it's probably the best time to do so.

It's pretty vintage you'd probably end up spending around $30-40 bucks. Maybe time for a new one ($50-100). You can borrow mine (not cordless) if you need.

Happy Holidays and wishing everyone a healthy and prosperous 2021.

Hey Bobbo,

Clean it with a wire brush then a hi temp spray paint

I've been using Synthetic oil (usually Mobil or Valvoline) for the past 20ish years on the recommendation of my shop. They say it lubes better, better for heat temperature and break down etc but who knows. Currently I'm at 292k so I'll stick with it.

I'll disconnect the battery after driving and usually 3-4 weeks I will connect it to a charger to make sure it's fully charged.

Very nice low mileage E24

Seeing other wide body kits, I think this is the nicest one so far and the engine by Frank Fahey. Wow.

The new giant kidney grills just don't look right and not everyone is a big fan of them.
Chip Foose's redesign is so much better.

I've had the Dinan chip for 20+ years and using a OEM thermostat. Car runs cool, the temp gauge usually stays at about 1/3.

Hey Bob,

My wheels are the RX’s, I saw some BBS RC wheels for sale and was wondering.
I love the style 5’s but lots of folks have them.

Thanks


Hi Peter,

That would be a good option but not quite sure yet.

Thanks

I was wondering what would be the cost to fixing curb rash on 2 and also rebuilding 2 wheels (17x8 +20 off set) to make a staggered set of wheels (thinking either 9 or 9.5).
Thanks

It was a fun day and nice to see everyone. Thanks for sharing the photos. Lets all hope for a vaccine to have many gatherings next year.

Cheers

Put a flashlight in the engine compartment (driver's side) and look under the foot well of the drivers side, maybe a grommet has popped out. That will also let engine heat in.

I remember the Sony DiscJockey it was the Ultimate CD changer to own in the mid 80s. I feel like the 80s analog equipment was made much better then what we have now but the digital stuff is really nice.

I haven't this problem but I hear dryer sheets help, lavender and mint as rats do not like fragrances
