Anyway, grabbed the door pillar cover, radio fader switch and like new Bremi plug wires. Also, found a brand new Dropkick Murphys CD in an '82 320i. SCORE!
Your yards super suck ass now. They were awesome until LKQ came in and changed them all.

Oh, I know! The only semi good thing about this new Pick N' Pull shit is the online inventory.

Took her out for a thrashing drive, taking advantage of the warm weather and clear roads :D

Swapped out my defunct driver's side mirror.

Several times did not fix my coolant level sensor :evil:

installed the blanks next to my euro fogs! Now the under bumper looks legit!

Gave her a good wash down.
Then proceeded to discipline a pair of disrespectful ricers on the way back from breakfast.

Fixed broken steering box bracket using the mwrench kit. Installed new Lemforder dogbones. Replaced cracked motor mounts. Replaced chewed-up alternator ground strap.

Took it for a test drive and noticed a crazy howling sound coming from the front right wheel. Bearing? Jeez... everytime I fix one component another breaks almost immediately.

E36 ///M3 Vaders in the E28 ///M5*.

"Buffed out" the left front fender and door on Snob.










*Sorry purist, but not enough ca$hola on hand to have the original Natur redone. The complete interior was trashed.

No, but thanks... those are long gone.
But, I did have a leather set of comforts in for her first road trip.

Got the interior back together, minus the back of the driver's seat which won't stay on.

Also got the stereo back working. No blown channel in the amp, just my crummy head unit acting up.

Drove the crap out of it. Hopefully Sunday we're getting the 3.73 LSD in it.

Got a factory battery clamp, figured out how to use it and bent it out a little to accomodate a Interstate MTP-93.

Cap, rotor, wires, plugs, coil, Coolant level sensor, adjusted and lubed hood release cable, replaced one bulb (turn signal front, oil change, fuel filter, and fixed my sticky trunk release button. All in all a pretty good day. Although my car is still a POS... :?
