Holy Crap dude.
You are my hero. I would have gotten rid of that thing in 2 seconds flat.
Great work so far man. It'll all pay off, trust me.

Really nice work!
nice build dude, sent you a pm
Buy my native installed ISIS ISTA-D/ISTA-P bmw diagnostic laptop. More Info Here!
I absolutely lover reading threads like this. Seeing someone tear apart a perfectly good car to do what you did makes me sad. However, seeing a car that is so far gone that the only real possible use of it is what you did with it makes me happy.
I am sure you went through a lot of work and frustration with this car but it's nice to see the car getting a new lease on life. 95% of the people out there wouldn't have gotten this car to where you have it. That's an accomplishment in itself!
Thanks! This has car has been a real pain but it does feel good now when I can do high rpm clutch dumps without worry all day every day.
So many parts has been replaced a "VIN matching enthusiast" would die from a heart attack.
Some of parts not shown are also new doors, new windshield wiper motor assembly, new OEM fuel filter, new balljoints for every rear suspension when it was reinforced, new dome light and every interior and exterior light bulb replaced with Philips, new OEM gas cap, list goes on and on.
Alcantara both in foam backed and regular arrived, headliner reupholster + M3 black interior conversion coming soon!
Neat thing about your build is if you decided to switch to an E36 M3 chassis, many of the parts you installed on this car will swap over to it.
You should see the 1994 325is I am working on:

It's been very frustrating but I have learned a lot! I am sure you have as well!
The feeling you get driving a car you restored is what keeps me doing this as a hobby.

Just keep in mind you are going to loose all of the headroom height gained by removing the sunroof by putting the sunroof headliner back in. The non-sunroof headliners are not just a sunroof headliner with the hole filled in. They are a different shape that is closer to the roof I've been looking for a non-sunroof sedan headliner for months. I'd like to do something to neaten up the ceiling in mine before getting the 4 point bent and installed, but I haven't come up with any ideas yet.
I've pondered trying to cut a sunroof headliner around the edges and add a strip of fiberglass to try to try to "raise" the center section to be close to the roof. If you come up with a solution, please post, so we can follow along.
I just got finished removing a lot of the sound deadening material out of my sedan. What a PITA. Heat gun method worked well but had to sit in some uncomfortable positions. Going to try cleaning out the left over residue today. Will give Goof Off a try.
Getting ready to drop the car off to have tabs welded in for the sunroof. Getting a 4 point roll bar welded in at the same time or would have done what you did.
Looks good!
