    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?

            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.

                          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.

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

                                  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.
