from exterior to interior paint prep

the following pictures are of the current status of the restoration as the mechanicals are now rolling...the interior is in need of attention after paint...block sanded, imperfections marked with sharpie, welding euro sheetmetal, fillers/feathering...body/primer prep'ed...


a look into the past...last month i rebuilt the rear disc brakes from the 323i trailing arms, the small green case contains the tap for the brake bleeders...i clean each one...

 
this is the stock emergency brake...as you can see it was 'repaired'...i have an idea...this picture is of the newly installed 323i emergency brake cables...


 compare the differences between the M3 S14 starter compared to the early M10 starter

the 'repair'




...California plate now expired...fresh baja dust...

new output shafts installed, with fresh seals and gaskets on the untrimmed differential cover...notice  the pan, the differential has an 11mm drain plug that wasn't tight...it began leaking...
