Is this the one you got from me? 
I sent you videos of it working! Do you have the little ground strap on it?

yes. well it would go up and down just one of the antenna sections (one of the middle ones), but the others were all jammed. no big deal, I will just roll with it.

thanks, but got it covered. pun intended.

I run a 318ti radio antenna (thanks Earl) and it works well because it's power and doesn't retract. I don't have any pics currently but looks nice.

I don't know why this bothers me more than it does you, but is this not all of the sections?
 

[straight6pwr]

well it certainly didn't work like that when I fired it up. i tried soaking it in penetrant and also prying the sections apart with no luck. maybe sitting for months not being used caused it all to get stuck. again, not worried!

In this thread: Ben worries that Dan cant get it all the way up.

Im officially radio-less so I guess if you desire any stock premium speakers I have some

[andyhundley]

I have tan premium sound pod holders as well if you want them.

well, its done. i've ordered new carpet and interior paint as seen below. *crosses fingers*

oh, and i also turned the spare bedroom into a paint booth since its still winters outside. lol. btw, it works great - have a fan out the window which creates a good amount of vacuum in the room to draw out the fumes/dust. costs about $100 in supplies, which includes all the small stuff like gloves, tape, air filters, screws, etc. bonus: toss in the space heater and i can get the room pretty warm for fast drying.

That paint booth is epic! Where did you order the carpet from?

Palomino, wow, cant wait to see this!

stockinteriors.com

reviews say its OK quality, but it comes with no holes so will be a bit of work to fit it. they did send the samples i requested, which was a great way to pick a matching color.

me too! modena is my favorite BMW interior, so hopefully this will be close.

Wow that paint booth is awesome! Are you ordering your interior dye from leatherique?

[suspenceful]

That DIY paint booth inside a perfectly good bedroom tells me you're a single man living the bachelor life. If not, your woman is a keeper!

Turn the box room into a painting room?!

That paint booth blows my mind. Epicly amazing.

Thanks lol.

And now that I've used it i have to agree. I can crank out stuff so fast, I finished all this in just a couple evenings.  Between the dryness, heater, and air flow, stuff dries in minutes instead of hours. Also, I totally look like Walter White when painting with my filter mask, underwear and slippers. I'm pretty sure if the neighbors peak in the window they will probably think I am actually cooking meth or murdering people in my plastic room.

Plasti-dip?

Also interested, that looks perfect

[straight6pwr]

SEM trim black. Best stuff you can get for trim pieces, and i've tried just about everything. Coats great and is the correct color/sheen as you stated.
