E21 Project Thread - Part 2

Today was pretty successful. First I installed the new ignition switch permanently from where I had that mishap on the way to the holy hill cruise. So that's done.

I then installed the dead pedal I got from father hundley. Feels good.

After that I started making fiberglass molds of the rear hood rollers mounts to put in the fiberglass hood. All went well, but I think I didn't use enough hardner in the resin. Shit!! We will see if guess.

Mounted a fire extinguisher to the trans tunnel since you never know when you'll need it, lol.

Lastly, I installed a Painless wiring remote master battery cutoff switch. It is comprised of a solenoid that gets mounted near battery. Solenoid gets wired in line of the positive battery cable. Then a small gauge wire runs up to a switch on the dash (which I used a master cutoff switch for its removeable key) which switches the ground. Turning the solenoid on or off.

What I have left to do is finish the rollers on the hood, find the boost leak and ground the alternator to see if that solves my lower voltage reading.

Life gets a little bit better when you have a rubber pad on your clutch pedal.

If lightning strikes the ground, travels along a puddle of water and arcs to your transmission and you are driving bare-foot,

Welp, you could dead.

That pedal cover may just save your life

Snap, this is a racecar!

Dave, apply some griptape to all of your pedals for max grip!

In a pinch: Gorilla glue some 80 grit sandpaper to it

Two? FYI: Dual clutch wasn't an option until the e90

Hood is just about done with the rear roller modifications. Not perfect, but when are fiberglass parts a perfect fit anyways, right?

So I have decided on doing a high gloss vinyl wrap on the car instead of paying thousands for a paint job. I've been talking with a local vehicle wrap company (Diamond Graphics, LLC in Cedarburg) and one of the guys even dropped off a few color books at my house for me to look through. I have been jumping around with colors a lot since I am kind of indecisive when it comes to things like this. First was white, then I thought about an olive green or super dark green, but now I am more dead set on orange. Seeing this obviously helped...

Looking through the color sample books, here are the oranges that I found caught my eye the most. I know colors look different depending on what type of screen you are looking at them on and so forth, but what do you guys think. Looking for your opinions. I am leaning towards Arlon 4600LX-383 Gloss Bright Orange.
