    I have had front control arms powder coated and they used some special greenish clear tape to mask the ID where the ball joint presses in.

      Hang some plastic sheeting to seal it and crank a propane heater. No excuses.

          Ive done the plastic wrap for heating a garage before and it works really well. I used a convection propane heater that looks like this and it was way better than a torpedo:

                  in Far Cry 4, the game devs programmed enemies and civilians to use 'chode' quite often, its pretty hilariously.

                      Still chugging along slowly but surely.

                      This afternoon I will be dropping my brake line fittings off for plating so I should be able to get the front brake setup all done shortly after I get them back. 

                      In other news I picked up a part I have been wanting for quite some time.

                      I apologize for the potato quality lighting (and for not replacing my damaged HVAC panel before showing this haha)

                      In an effort to make things as simple and clean as possible (most aesthetically) I removed the head unit in favor of controlling the speaker system in a different way. More on that once I actually start the wiring. 

                      Speaking of wiring, can someone help me find the amp wiring diagram for a premium sound compact? It looks like all other e36's use a similar but slightly different amp.

                            I have a wiring diagram I just need to figure out how to get it from it's secured form to something I can send you that's readable.

                              Also, screw purchasing from Panjo. I bought a set of brand new oem grilles that a guy had sitting and he hasn't responded to anything since I bought them over a week ago. I also emailed Panjo to get a hold of him and they haven't even responded to me. Such a joke

                                    Fiddled with a few things on Saturday. Not much to post pictures of as I was mocking up my actuator for my push button hatch release system and some other small things.

                                    Some comparisons between old and new

                                        It seems that way. I will have to read back through and see what I didn't touch so I can go loosen up those bolts and retighten them lol
