Put all my parts together in 1 spot.
1 - Z3 LSD
1 - 2 e30 half-shafts
1 -adjustable steering column WITH the plastic shroud.
1 -ebay SS knock of headers for OBD1
1 - Kit to turn my S52 from OBD2 into OBD1
-
For the car, replaced the wipers.
Finally found and installed... rear wiper arm, rear speakers with the clips intact and finally 5lt washer tank + correct washer pump.

The only things I need to pick up now is...
new clutch, new suspension/ take the front suspension from my M3 and source some biltien rears.

Came out this morning to discover this;







Hit and run. No note left, nothing. Grrr...

Very similar thing happened to a friend of mine a few weeks ago, only the damage was more extensive, so I'm lucky (in a sense.)..

You mean maybe BFGoodrich R1's sized 255/40/17 mounted on Kosei K-1's sized 17 x 8.5's?

Got 'em already...

I fixed my window today, or at least I thought I did. It broke within hours. Gonna need a new regulator for sure. Question for you guys: Is it a problem if the window tracks are glued onto the window crooked? When my window was busted, I had a glass company come out and fix the drivers window. I guess the tech glued it in at an angle because of the bent regulator? Do I need to re-glue, or will a new regulator do the trick?

The seat back frame snapped about a month ago (such thin metal, ugh), swapped the seat back from the passenger side so I could still drive it. Had a friend weld it up last week and just finished putting everything back together in the car tonight.

Had a buddy of mine who is a master welder & fabricator fix my ti. The part of the frame where the C clamp bolts to for the front sway bar rusted out on the passenger side. Hear its common for e36's.
