Default Very Important please read!

When i went to the BIG HOUSE a few years ago there was a large out-pouring of support from the guys here on 318ti.org. I came home today to 3 boxes full of parts for my car (aka Zippy) that were purchased by Eric (cali-ti) and funded by several members of the forum. Let me tell you all how extremely humbled and grateful I am for the experience of seeing all of these sweet parts in front of me for the first time.
So, this is a calling out to all of you that made this wonderful gift possible...
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

your friend,
sean

It's nice to see a community such as ours come together and support their members. Sean, you're every bit deserving of such support. Looks like you have a good jump on breathing new life into your Ti

There are more (moar?) parts in the boot as well (power steering reservoir and lines, auto trans gasket and bolts, maybe others). Oh yeah, new battery as well (it's been outside the car on a trickle charger though since we believe there is/was an electrical gremlin). Once we (Sean?) get to the replacement of the positive battery connector, we can install the battery and see if there is still a drain (Sean was able to remove the aftermarket head unit he thinks may have been causing it).

yeah, eric has a ton of stuff to do to both his ti and X5...he is a self-professed slacker! Cindy and eric took apart the sunroof and rebuilt the motor using a donor that had a different wiring harness or some such issue. I will be getting the car home soon to begin the repairs it needs...which aren't all that serious. I will once again live and breath BMW and the org...you know me!
i've got more photos to share...enjoy!
