    Not too shabby actually. The two pieces that go together to brace the arms and make it an A shape need just a hair of filing so that they slide together nice. I'm sure I could probably take a BFH and get the together as it is though. I'll take pics tomorrow of how they fit up to the trailing arms.

    I got three fasteners away from dropping the rear subframe today. I ran out of time so it will be out tomorrow. 
    These look brand new right? Hahaha

     
    And this stuff was waiting for me when I got home=)

    You can also use silicone to hold it in. I used Gorilla silicone in a pinch once as one of mine took off like a rocket when I was street sharking and my lip flexed my bumper. I'm going to sit and wait for Jason to chime in and say that silicone isn't to be used as a means of fastening something lol

    All fog deletes, ebay and oem, fit very tight and you need to put then in a certain way to not break the clips. I've owned three sets and they're all the same.

    The front of the e34 is mostly held together with bailing wire after tying the core support to a tree and putting the car in reverse to straighten it back out. I think you're being too picky.

    I think it only has the big chromies for rice. The squares are actually desirable and sorta fit in on a weird car like the Baur. Having only 80k on the clock I can see that being a good price if the paint is nice and the fact it is a Baur should make it worth more than your average e30.

    I think a coat of black paint before flocking may have helped eliminate that but otherwise it looks nice 👍 Good progress on everything

    oh, usually I seem to remember the name  nicoclub.com while im pounding my skull with cinder blocks.
    the last time i was reading a thread there someone was concerned that replacing the belts would be a dealer-only task because it looked hard.
     
    There's a cool 16" of free space between the engine and the radiator. By far the nicest and easiest belt replacement I have ever done.
