              I was holding that off until I get the engine in and the harness snuck through the firewall to meet the fusebox. I should also wire up all of my air ride components so I can easily run the wire/cables.

                  I need to do front brake lines first and I need to solve my master cylinder issue to be able to do that.

                      Been working on things here and there. 

                      Brand new quarter glass is in:

                      I then cleaned and reinstalled the B and C pillar trims, as well as a clean set of rear speaker trays (no pictures). 

                      I replaced all of the latch strikers as well since they looked a little dingy. New-Left  Old-Right

                            Glad to see your commitment to perfection and attention to detail are still alive and well. 

                            Most people dont know it but at the E30 picnic and Concours I inspect peoples door latch strikers. I have a running list of cars I would and would not buy if I ever saw them for sale.

                                Pulled my steering column yesterday to rebuild it. Just waiting on my parts to arrive so I can put it back in all freshened up=)

                                I also finally sourced a master cylinder to use and have ordered all of the brake line that I need to plumb the rest of my brakes. I got bored at work today and shaved off all of the casting marks. I will be painting it to match my engine block when I get home.

                                  Rebuilding a steering column. Never would have thought to do that

                                      They get squeaky and loose on e36's=) However this one felt fine before but doing it while the dash is out only made sense. The one in the coupe is starting to squeak and will probably need to be rebuilt in the future as well.
