[BlackBMWs]

Not as much progress as I would have liked today, I but sorted a few things out.

• Power washed the underside, so I could better see what I am working with.
• Removed the shredded Flex Disc and wasted a bunch of time trying to figure out why spare Guibo wouldn't fit. Turned out it was for an automatic. Good lesson gained by wasting 4 hours. Thanks James and Ed!
  
  
• Found the source of the exhaust leak, 3 of the four retaining nuts on the exhaust manifold flange are missing.
  
  
• Installed a M3 EVO three spoke steering wheel in place of the torn 4 spoke wheel
  
  
• I found the main oil leak. It is by the oil pan near the internal oil pump pickup. I suspect no gasket maker was applied to the oil pan gasket at the seams between the covers. The Oil Filter housing gasket does not seem to be leaking, but I'll do that one when I do the drivers side plastic coolant pipe.
• Wire brushed the rust off the hubs as the wheels were a bear to get off. Reinstalled them with anti seize and a set of wheel locks. 3 of the four tires are now racing slicks. I will throw a set of DS-2s I have in storage with some great tread for the moment.
• Tried to figure out if the storage compartment I have behind the seats is a dead subwoofer or a child proof storage area. If the latter, I suspect I won't be able to get in.
• Ordered a replacement set of driving lights as I found the switch and the leads to the Fog lights.
• Taped off the rear soft top window as I understand we have rain coming. Three years of drought and I suppose the trick to get it to rain is to buy a car with a leaking soft top.

I will see what I can get done during the week, as I need to actually work on a my Cali prep for Fest.
