[joeuser528e]

God damn. I love me some wagons. I will own one. Mark my words.

[ghostrider11]

I've always wanted on of those! Congratulations. I can already imagine what it's gonna look like when you're finished. SWEEEEEET!

nice touring

thanks.

any updates?

just received two new kopis from abrahams since two were bent. sucks that mel is having troubles with his supplier. but he is doing his damnest to makes things right.

I need to email kevin at creative options to see how my seats are coming.

haven't heard from the body shop yet. I told them to call me when the doors are being worked on so I can grab the locks. I have to rebuild them a bit.

short answer: no updates.

if I stay unemployed into the spring/summer I may have to sell it!

Nice build - can't wait to see it finished!! Subscribed.

Loving the lights.

I like the lights man.

[kishg]

love the all-reds. good to see you finally got your hands on a set.

[Wheels5550]

where did you find those lights? i need some!

[12v Electronics]

Yes! That radio is from you guys!

Not a difficult install at all. All that is needed to do this install is an adapter for the antenana as well as a pigs tail for the radio, both can be found on installer.com and away you go!

The radio itself slides right in no problem.

Glad to hear you are happy. We sell alot of these and like to see that they are going to good use. This is a much better solution than going to an aftermarket radio.

Good luck on the rest of the project. It is a very cool car!

Thanks Jack, and thanks for the PM. Shot one back to you.

Thanks and thanks.

I'll be honest though, just painted, not real MHWs, but prior to purchase I asked the questions about clearcoating etc etc.

About 1/4 what real MHW's would have cost me.

I got them on Ebay from a guy that only sells painted lights. His stuff looks pretty damn good and his feedback is good as well. Figure I'd rather have someone who does this often do it than do it myself.

It is a highly sought after radio is this community. You may want to consider becoming a sponsor on this site and offering a Group buy or a bimmerforums discount. I think you'd be very happy with the results...

We are working on becoming a sponsor. Right now it is going through the "higher ups". In the meantime we will definately take care of the bimmerforums members. If anyone is interested , please find contact info at 12velectronics.com

[NHskibm]

I've got to drop the tails off at the body shop! I'll try to grab some pics tomorrow!

[M-technik-3]

I sent a customer your way for one. I have one in my E30 M from Markus of S14.net This is an awesome radio. Are yours neu or refurbished?

looks like the guy got the ban stick. wonder why?

The one I got from them was new in box, or refurbished and made to look new. But it was advertised as new in box and looks that way.

Not a bad price. I actually got it on Ebay from them.

probably for advertising without being a board sponsor.

which is funny because it was what I suggested to the guy!

oops!

[NHskibm]

UPDATE!!

body shop is WAY backed up and doing the car as a favor (read: REDUCED price).

However I did take the front bumper off myself today as I'm trading it to someone. So the front bumper is off and the pieces are all ready for the M-tech II.

[NHskibm]

Small Update: Haven't stopped by the body shop recently, but I picked some stuff up today. Still need to grab the front and rear mounts but they are on order too!

Note: Springs were specially ordered as the rears are Touring specific. Standard Bilstein Sports however - same as other 318 E30's.

Can't do rear sway from a kit. Touring specific as well.

Anyways, enjoy. Hopefully she'll be all done Aprilish.

Fantastic project! Like so many here, I've always wanted one. Nice to drive a car that almost NOBODY else in the country has.

Just little inspiration:

[NHskibm]

Thanks for the inspiration and kind words! But I have to tell you as it is a balmy 50+ degrees here in NE today I'm a little jealous of your cabrio - something I have ALWAYS wanted was a vert. My DREAM car is (funny enough) an E30 M3 Cabrio. Only like 800 were made and all in Europe but I want one so badly...

And if that isn't possible I'm a sucker for the S54 M Roady.
