looks like a great base to start with. was the front radiator support bent at all?

I may have to take a few of you up on the offer to help, we'll see where I'm at when I get the parts out of paint.
I dont think the radiator support was bent, but the part the valance hangs on (and bumper attached to) is a little bent. I'm not overly worried about it though, the car drives straight and I shouldn't have a problem mounting up the "new" body parts.

Im waiting for the weather to break before I do my rust repair/repaint. My mirrors have paint flaking off because of bad prep work. Im also painting my trim strips white too. Should turn out neat. Let me know if you need any help doing fiberglass repair or anything. I also may get the painter here to respray your car for cheap. You'd have to be here for the prep and masking process because thats the biggest pain in the ass. Lemme know because this is a full size drive in paint booth.

Same, it was the guy that had all of his shit stolen. There is a sticky somewhere in members rides I think
-
And there it is

Yeah, they are from Dave, as Justin had posted (R3v link). Dave is good people, and ships them out speedy!

OK folks, I need help. I'm having some issues:
-
The previous owner (who is on R3v), installed a aftermarket steering wheel. The wheel, or steering column is squeaking like crazy. Though, it is either incredibly bad, or its nonexistent. IDK what the issue is...
-
I had installed a DDM Tuning HID kit, and now the passenger side light won't come on. Before it went off completely, it was flickering and would turn on and off on its own. Loose wire? or something else?
-
I now also have a passenger side running light out, which leads me to believe it may have something to do with the above passenger side head light?
-
I never spliced in (as i didn't have the connectors) high beams. So if anyone has some euro connectors, umm hit a negro up.
-
Previous owner said he was attached to his stereo, so he yanked it out before sale. I have a radio, I just need someone with the know how, and or patients to help me hook it up.. .
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. And I'd be willing to pay in beer, wibimmer cards, or something, if someone wanted to come and fix this shit for me. Because I'm mechanically retarded.

I should mention, the iX is my only vehicle right now, as well, the M3 will be going into storage, but it also just got a freaking flat tire. Being as baller as I am, I do not have a spare tire, let alone a spare set of wheels for the M....
(more info than you all care to know, but -) I plan on picking up a new car in the next month for the wife to drive (no BMW, sorry pals), SO the iX will shortly become my daily driver. So in short, I will be spending more time on and in the car.
-
I can help you do the stereo, I guess I am the wiring "bitch" lol. ONLY if you let me see the m3........
Same with HID's I guess.
-
Of course, though it's not going anywhere with a flat tire...
How far from Kenosha are you?
As far as the hid's go, if they work, great, if not, I be fine with regular H1's, but I have no connectors (including high beams).
If I could just get all my lights to work, I could care less about the stereo. I'll have some pimple faced bestbuy kid do it. I just don't want to get hassled by the coppers if I don't have working lights.
The steering wheel thing is anoying as fuck but that won't get me stopped by the police.
-
Stereo is easy shit, dont bother paying someone an excessive amount of money. Can find out if the ballast even works or not lol.
I am in Appleton....
-
Well it wasn't done pretty but, last night a buddy and I fixed:
Both low beams
Both fog lamps
A passenger side turn signal (front)
A rear running light
And I caught a blown fuse which had killed the heater..
Productive night, next time I'm off I will tackle the radio install, throw on the snow tires and do an oil change. Should be good to go then!
