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

Looking good man. This thing is going to be better than new when you are done, but with that being said, I hope you drive the piss out of it and dont store it in a plastic bubble the rest of its life.

No pictures but I putzed around a little yesterday.

Removed the drivers window for the last time. I cleaned all of the grime off that would normal sit below the window seal inside of the door. I then recleaned the inside of the door and reinstalled the window. After that I scrubbed the upper window seal with soapy water to remove little bits of plastidip that were still stuck to it. I then installed the lower window seal. I only did the drivers side for now as I am still tracking down a passenger window. 

Once that was all together I used a battery to directly power the sunroof motor to get it open. I started cleaning up the tracks and surface for the new sunroof seal. I may remove the cassette to make it easier to recover the fabric shuttle and to thoroughly clean all of the sliders and rails. It depends on how clean I can get it tonight. 

Other than that I have just been ordering little odds and ends that I still needed for the air setup.

What did you end up doing with your brake situation? Did you trim the firewall or get a Porsche Master?

[Earl]

Neither. Still debating lol

Snap chat updates ftw

[Earl]

With how much shit is in that sunroof, I may just remove the cassette even though I really don't want to=/

In other news, I've been searching for non ///M lips for a few years and still haven't found any for sale. Im getting more impatient lately and really want one lol. Any from BBS, Zender, Hartge, Racing Dynamics, or AC Schnitzer.

Picture of the new lower window seal and window in for good

I've been working on installing new quarter glass and some other tid bits but need to upload the pictures. 

[YoungCR]

What happened to the one scratched quarter glass?

[Earl]

That was my passenger front window. Still looking for one

Carpet and seats go in next?

[Earl]

I was holding that off until I get the engine in and the harness snuck through the firewall to meet the fusebox. I should also wire up all of my air ride components so I can easily run the wire/cables.

Well, what are you waiting for?

[Earl]

I need to do front brake lines first and I need to solve my master cylinder issue to be able to do that.

Do it earl

[Earl]

Been working on things here and there. 

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). 

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. 

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.
