vanitiy cover painted same color and mpower sings and stripes silver

took it for a test drive to a friends shop to put it on the lift and make sure everything was good and charge the ac system to figure out ac compressor was stuck immediately it started smoking so we had to wait for a new compressor.
also when doing ac with a swap on the 318ti you will need lines from donor car

and there you have it ..nice experience working on this car great feeling doing it since i do this for a hobby not my primary job ..customer was super happy with how it turned out and this car is a blast to drive

updates on parts we are waiting for euro steering wheel cubby and glove box with blue leather inserts
