My name is Earl, and I have a Stainless Steel bolt fetish =)

Been working on things here and there.Â
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).Â
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.Â
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=)Â
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.Â

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

I pulled the fuel lines and rear brake line that ran up to the engine bay on Friday. I have decided to refresh all gas lines while I am at it. More on that later in this update.
Installed all of the new parts on the steering column Sunday:
Yesterday I pulled the gas tank....yes I have officially lost my mind
I will be cleaning the tank up, replacing all of the fuel lines, and cleaning up the underside of the car where the tank has been. I had a few fasteners snap under the car which has me quick frustrated. One of them was the stud for bolting the fuel filter to the car. I am trying to figure out how to remedy that situation currently. The other fasteners were the screws holding in the three mounts that ran the fuel and brake lines forward. Those will also be tricky to sort out.

definitely just run a roofing self-tapping screw with gasket right through the floor.
