Still polishing every nut and bolt as usual it seems. I would be scared to sneeze in the general direction of the car if I ever saw it... goodness. Well, I got four months before I am back in Cali to work on my own ti again. I will keep checking your thread and look forward to more progress!

Hah. Keep up the good work! __________________ | | | 05-10-2016, 10:24 AM | #845 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2012 Location: West Bend, Wisconsin Posts: 1,055 | I pulled the fuel lines and rear brake line that ran up to the engine bay on Friday. I have decided to refresh all gas lines while I am at it. More on that later in this update. Installed all of the new parts on the steering column Sunday: Yesterday I pulled the gas tank....yes I have officially lost my mind I will be cleaning the tank up, replacing all of the fuel lines, and cleaning up the underside of the car where the tank has been. I had a few fasteners snap under the car which has me quick frustrated. One of them was the stud for bolting the fuel filter to the car. I am trying to figure out how to remedy that situation currently. The other fasteners were the screws holding in the three mounts that ran the fuel and brake lines forward. Those will also be tricky to sort out. __________________ 95 318ti & 96 318ti Quote: Originally Posted by eurohb Im Jelly.. enough said. | Follow me on instagram: earlmeyeriii | | | 05-11-2016, 03:35 AM | #846 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2011 Location: SoCal Posts: 702 | Quote: Originally Posted by Earl I pulled the fuel lines and rear brake line that ran up to the engine bay on Friday.

Yesterday I pulled the gas tank....yes I have officially lost my mind | I think many of us realized that long time ago. The first step toward recovery is admitting to your self you have a problem. That being said keep your mind away for a while, I think we all enjoy the insane detail going to this build. __________________ ***328ti Build thread. *** Even more important: SUPPORT 318ti.org!

The gas tank is cleaned and ready to be put back together. I need to order all of the lines and gaskets yet. I also need to clean up under the car and undercoat that section.

I "rebuilt" the throttle pedal assembly. Everything is brand new besides the lever itself. My old pedal return spring was snapped and not doing anything. I don't recall the pedal ever feeling bad so I was surprised to see that. Old New I also got pads for the brake and clutch pedals The steering column is also back in the car now. I placed an order for the fuel lines above the tank and need to start wire wheeling and undercoating the tank area under the car. __________________ 95 318ti & 96 318ti Quote: Originally Posted by eurohb Im Jelly.. enough said. | Follow me on instagram: earlmeyeriii Last edited by Earl; 05-19-2016 at 10:07 AM. | | | 05-19-2016, 10:10 AM | #849 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2012 Location: West Bend, Wisconsin Posts: 1,055 | Finished buttoning the column up yesterday __________________ 95 318ti & 96 318ti Quote: Originally Posted by eurohb Im Jelly.. enough said. | Follow me on instagram: earlmeyeriii | | | 06-10-2016, 02:38 PM | #850 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2012 Location: West Bend, Wisconsin Posts: 1,055 | __________________ 95 318ti & 96 318ti Quote: Originally Posted by eurohb Im Jelly.. enough said. | Follow me on instagram: earlmeyeriii | | | 06-13-2016, 10:10 AM | #851 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2012 Location: West Bend, Wisconsin Posts: 1,055 | Finally scored a missing piece of the puzzle: Racing Dynamics Non M lip Unfortunately I wasn unaware that the lip is slightly different between the two non M bumper styles so I will have to make some reliefs in the top of the lip to fit around parts of the bumper vents. The good thing is that the lip isn't perfect and needs some fixing anyways. You can see the small semi-circle reliefs now that are for fitting around the vertical slats in the wide slat style non m bumper. Those will be filled in as well. __________________ 95 318ti & 96 318ti Quote: Originally Posted by eurohb Im Jelly.. enough said. | Follow me on instagram: earlmeyeriii | | | 06-16-2016, 04:19 PM | #852 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2011 Location: SoCal Posts: 702 | Quote: Originally Posted by Earl Finally scored a missing piece of the puzzle: Racing Dynamics Non M lip | Now that looks good! Nice see a little different style then the usual m3 bumper. Is the rear going to be a M bumper? Also what kind of mirrors will you use? Love the work as usual. I will say this every time I post, but that detail you have is insane. I honestly don't think I would be able to drive it after having every piece so meticulously cleaned and replaced. __________________ ***328ti Build thread. *** Even more important: SUPPORT 318ti.org!

It's been pictures a few times. Mirror wise I have my AC Schnitzer cup mirrors that have been on the car=) __________________ 95 318ti & 96 318ti Quote: Originally Posted by eurohb Im Jelly.. enough said. | Follow me on instagram: earlmeyeriii | | | 06-18-2016, 02:02 PM | #855 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2011 Location: SoCal Posts: 702 | Quote: Originally Posted by Earl My rear bumper is the stock bumper with the exhaust cutout and tow hook cover shaved.
