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

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.

@Earl that's a 10 speaker system right?

[Earl]

Yup=)   (tweeter and speaker in each door, speaker in each foot well, and then two small speakers with two larger ones in the back)

[patsbimmer1]

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.

[Earl]

That's awesome! Thank you Pat

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

[patsbimmer1]

Damn it @Earl, respond to my text.

[Earl]

I was in a meeting haha. My apologies

[Earl]

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

[patsbimmer1]

When this thing is done you will have touched every single individual part on this car.

[Earl]

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

Picked up more parts from the dealer on Friday. Was pretty impressed with the unboxing experience for the HVAC panel

New versus old

Ummmmm.......is there a difference?

[Earl]

There is a nick where someone removed the clock with a small screwdriver. There are small scratches along the bottom side from people with rings using the ashtray. The red portion of the temperature decal also has some discoloration. It works functionally and is in pretty great shape compared to most peoples. I sold it for $15 to another compact guy haha

[KaiserRolls]

Are all compact guys gifted?

[Earl]

Just me=P

That all depends on what you consider "gifted"
