I filled out a claim, will see what happens. Irregardless, at the end of the month I'm going back to parking on the street.

Looks like the same one that DDM sells: E36 CF Hood

Washed it and tried to buy a fan clutch tool but none they had seemed to fit right...

I put a Starfleet Academy sticker on the hatch. (I have to; I'm a space cadet; I grew up on Star Trek!)

I replaced the front kick-panel speakers with ones that don't make Darth Vader noises when I push in and release the cones. Removing that panel is actually easier than it looks.

I replaced the back speakers too, but I don't like the results so I'm going to do it differently. The back tweets are blown so I will be looking for replacements.

Addendum...

I redid the way I mounted the back woofies. Mister Dremel on the original tubey thing made room for the speaker's mounting tabs, and a lot of hot-melt glue fastened them in place and sealed them up (as much as they can be on that plastic thing).

The 4" full-rage speakers I put in make very little high-frequency sound and the original tweeters had no filter capacitors, so I'm sure there's a crossover in the built-in wiring harness. That would explain that. So I do need to put some new tweeters in fr the back.

Is it just me, or does it look like the two stickers aren't quite lined up correctly? I haven't seen to many of those, so I don't really know...

I changed the valve cover gasket on the Boston Green car, and I failed pretty hard at trying to chemical strip the old flaking gold paint off it, still looks better black, but its far from perfect. At least the huge flakes of gold paint aren't going to get into my spark plug tube holes anymore...

Still need to do front shocks on the green car, and bleed the brakes and change the belt on the red car to get it ready for my HPDE this weekend at infineon! I also need to get a helmet still...
