Nope. I felt like there was plenty still there. If there is any moisture, I will do them again.
Just ordered my wheels Varrstoen ES222 Volk TE37 repls. 19x9.5/10.5. Having the rear hubs bored to 74.1 and since the fronts already need spacers, ordering a set of 15mm 74.1-72.6 for the front. Tires will be 245/30/19 and 275/30/19.
wow, should look very interesting. looking forward to more! what tires are you planning on going with?
(i cant get over how much a loved my continental dws on my 19's, expensive but well worth it.)
For now I will go cheap. I want to get the alignment all dialed in before I buy nice tires. Probably Nankang for now. 245/35 & 275/30
Wow lights look fantastic and those wheels are going to look amazing with the color of the car. Can't wait to see the engine in there. Any progress on the transmission?
2003 E39, manual, sport, debadged, full service history from new, staggered authentic 18" alpina softlines, M5 mirrors and trunk lip, 30% 3M tint, DICE silverline ipod integration, valentine one rear headrest stealth install, CDV delete, 545i short shifter + zhp shift knob, zimmerman rotors, axxis pads, custom interior (two-tone sand beige black with microsuede A pillars, oem black headliner, sandbeige 18-way adjustable comfort seats)
Not yet. My friend is in China. My motor is probably at his shop now but I haven't heard from anyone over there yet. He will be back this coming weekend. The suspense is killing me.
Ordered the rear tires.

Awesome. Getting closer. Really want to have everything in the car before the baby is born Can't wait to post engine pix. Any day now...
Wish you lived in Atlant. I would love to see this beast upclose

Too many dings and small scratches to want to see it up close That and tan interior are my only complaints thus far.
Do a swap. Find a wrecked sport something,
buy the dash front seats and carpet.
Then find a set of matching folding rears.
Replace the headliner yourself
The only hard part would be the boot.

Yeah. Unfortunately, it will be a while before I have the extra funds for that. Luckily my tan interior is in great shape and has the light painted trim instead of the horrid wood trim.
how much would the black interior from a sport sedan (non fold down seats) that was totaled be? sports heated seats.
sorry for hi-jack
Depends on too many things for a blanket answer. They will also vary from person to person. The fact that car is totalled doesn't mean anything for the value of the interior unless the airbags were deployed.
seems to hover around 1k to 1.5k
A touring would be a lot harder to complete because the headliner and Boot are Different then a sedan, leaving you with a bunch of parts on top of that price.
Edit: Ebay seems to have a good number of parts needed for the Gray touring swap Link ( not sure how good that would look with the paint..)
Edit II: want to make your car ultra rare! Get that M-tech cross -> link

Some headlight output shots. The driver side still needs some alignment work. Passenger side is perfect. Dual highs is madness.
