glad to hear the deal went through!

whats next? i feel like an e31 is up your alley.

I would LOVE to find one. But I am trying to stay away from getting more cars that I plan to "keep."  This one was totally worth keeping, but I didn't really have a use for it and it was a distraction from other projects( E30) that I wanted to focus on. If I did happen to find a new keeper at this point, its likely to be a wagon.

whats next? i feel like an e31 is up your alley.

How easy was posting the car up on BAT? My dad and I are selling our 318ti in the spring and plan on posting it up there after we get it detailed and such. 

Pretty easy. They did mess out the content a few times so there were a few revisions before I gave it the thumbs up.

looks great. when is BAT scheduled?

The listing is in the works. I just need to make a final approval and she hits the chopping block.

I decided to start painting and undercoating the the car since it was the last thing I haven't really cleaned up.

Next I have a trick pinstripe kit I borrowed from a friend to refresh the worn striping. I will share with you guys how that goes in detail, it's pretty cool.

I intend to use these shots among the other 50+ he captured to list this car on BAT in the next coming weeks. I feel that the time I have spent bringing this car back and fixing its quirks were well worth it to me, and it's time to let someone else appreciate and enjoy it and at the same time give me more space to work on my E30. I have come to the realization that I will just continue fixing and improving this car if it sticks around as I have a hard time deeming anything "complete". If anyone is interested in purchasing the car before I list it, feel free to message me, I rather sell the car local to someone I know for less, than deal with listing fees and shipping.

This morning one of my co-workers had to show me a pic of a cool BMW that was following him this morning. I was like, "Oh, that's Jason." 

I saw him actually. He was struggling to get a picture in his rear view mirror turning into the industrial park, then I could see him snapping away as I passed.

You’ll have to show me how to rebuild the switches, glad it helped solve the problem.

It's super easy. I did the first switch, that's why they worked for a little while then went back to drive Jason insane mode. At that point Didn't realize that was the actual problem and I was afraid to break the contacts. Out of all 3 switches I have, each one is different internally as well. I will post some pictures of the insides and what fails and how to fix it for future reference.

I fixed a bunch of things in one quick swoop

• turn signals work again-AND much much better that they ever have. Turns out (pun intended) that all of the hazards switches I had were failing to contact pin 5 internally. I was able to fix all of them. Thanks @YoungCR for lending me another switch that lead to insanity and also a successful repair. you can have your switch back in NOW working condition too  I had an EE guy also BMW fan come over and we numbed our brains with liquor till we figured it out. 
• Gauges all work again. YUSSS.- I installed the new gears and cleaned everything up and blew it al out with compressed air.
• Reverse lights - they were not plugged in. I found out why, the wire sheething was wore where it passed through the tunnel to the switch fixed it and plugged them in. TA-DA!
• Fix all the dash vents and levers- They were stiff and dirty. constant dust came out when the heat or AC was on. I took all the vents out and cleaned them and lubed all the vent levers and cables.
• Sunroof - fabric was sagging. Took this apart and reattached the old fabric and cleaned all the parts and guides in the roof. 
• Fuel check- I installed a check valve in the fuel line because I was reading that the fuel pump has a check valve that fails and causes laggy starts because of fuel bleeding back into the tank. I ordered one and installed it. This wasn't the problem. I still have in-consistent starts so after a quick install I grabbed the Voltmeter and checked the in-line fuel pump. No power. So the car has been running of of the lift pump. I have since ordered a new pump and lower filter, as there are also two fuel filters on this car. I read that replacing this pump can cause almost and instant change in power deliver that you can feel. Hopefully this is the last of the repairs!

Once again, no pictures. I will share more once I install the new pump and filter.

Oh man, hopefully that fits back together nicely. What comes after the cluster? 

Rear diff and trans flush. Then it's off to the market for a new owner!
