It will be Black again. I like to keep things simple.

The funny thing is that the guy that made them is from the UK=)

Just got the news yesterday that the car will be picked up for the body shop next week=)

I picked up the last of the hardware for mounting the front body panels and will be throwing them on for the ease of sending them on the car versus piled inside.

Roughly half of my interior arrived yesterday and it far exceeds my expectations=) I didn't get any good pictures of it all but I will be sure to snap a few today.


The seats I have gotten so far are immaculate besides the wear I knew about on the drivers thigh bolster. I should be able to get the alcantara replaced and use the foam from my current drivers seat to cut down on time and cost for the repair.

The steering wheel just needs some leather conditioner rubbed in. There is only one ring mark that caused little marks in the leather. The others are just light lines that should disappear when the conditioner is massaged in=)

Other than that the car leaves tomorrow evening for the body shop. They should be starting on it next week or the following week and they estimate it will be done three weeks out from then=D

Last night I decided to swap my rear bench fabric. There are so many hog rings that this took forever.



My old fabric was sticky underneath and just looked gross. The foam and frame was luckily nice and clean.


I think this took me 4 hours or so to do. I was half watching Netflix and eating supper for part of it too.


Now I just need the rest of the seats to arrive and I will be able to disassemble my passenger seat and put the "new" seat together. I also need to source someone to repair my drivers thigh bolster for a reasonable price.

Nothing new thus far.

I am contemplating picking one of these up:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-e36-5-31...a5d2d6&vxp=mtr

It is so cheap that I can't really lose money on it and it would be painted with the car so I wouldn't be paying any extra for paint. I am just not sure if it would look odd being so small versus the AC Schnitzer hatch spoilers. I would obviously make it easy to remove without any damage or left over residue on the rear window.

Thoughts?

I ordered that spoiler to see if I like it=) If not, I don't really have much to lose.

I also got my second to last box of interior from Germany yesterday



I am now just waiting for the door cards to come=)
