Yasssss. MORE!!

Got a few things done over the past few days.

I bent the new brake line running to the rear to match the original:

I threw in my coupe battery cable to help with the relocation to the hatch. I couldn't get any good pictures of this but imagine a red cable running under the floor board wire covers, over the back seat, and into the hatch.

I brought a new to me set of bumper shocks back to life and installed them with my refreshed bumper support:

I managed to get my sunroof in as well but I need to play with it more to get the front to sit flush with the roof. For some reason I am having issues with that. The rear sits nice and flush which really confuses me.

Yesterday I threw in my new hood release cable and associated parts. This was super easy with the fender off. 

I also threw the rear bumper on to get an idea of how the rear will look when finished. I was looking around for my bumper trims to throw on as well but couldn't find where I put them.

#datass what's the new exhaust configuration gonna be? I asssume there isn't enough room to put 90's on the end of the stock muffler like a e39.

[straight6pwr]

yeah that looks really good with no exhaust cut-out

[Earl]

I'm having a "header" back exhaust made that will turn down behind the bumper. My stock exhaust was absolutely thrashed and the muffler on there was HUGE haha. I am definitely going for a nice and quiet exhaust with as deep of a tone as the m42 will let me get away with=)

Wow that looks fantastic

You are an E36 body and interior wizard

I would have broken everything while disassembling it

Oh trust me, I break shit haha

Drill a hole and make the exhaust exit right out of the center of the hood. Thats what all the cool kids do.

Started putzing around again Yesterday.

A little before and after of the refinished front bumper shocks

I didn't know that these rear shock tower carpet cover inserts existed until I was watching a Bavsound audio install on a compact. Obviously I ordered them new right away

I installed new tail light gaskets on the MHW's and also threw on my new bulb trays

That's all for now

Impeccable as usual.

I think I barfed on a blanket that looked like that once

[Jdesign]

I hope you drive it before those plates expire. Nice update!

That's some shit too because I didn't get them until March...

I thought you were going to say you hope to see them peel like most new plates I have seen

Should have done what I did and get plates that do not expire

not if you repaint them

I let a buddy of mine test fit the Breytons on his vert, as he was looking at a set and wanted to see how mine fit as the others are far more aggressive

[jc43089]

How do you do that and not rub? Mine rubs on the inside of the plastic bumper when going over bumps in the road? Are the springs just too soft?
