Earl Posted November 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Time to wipe a little dust off... I pulled the front subframe to get powdercoated since it got pretty messed up at the body shop from the bay work and being jacked up without any padding. Tonight I will put the rear up on stands as well so I can remove the undercoat and any surface rust from the rear subframe forward. I am still trying to think of a clever way to heat under the car so that I can recoat within a few days and have it actually dry (since it can't dry in 30-40 degree weather) B C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassboy3313 Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 forced air propane torpedo heater aimed under the car. Works great for me. KaiserRolls 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted November 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Will this keep from getting too hot to actually burn other things? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserRolls Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Start it on fire earl. Make sure they don't get powder in the balljoint area lol. Could you use a space heater? Like a propane one? patsbimmer1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted November 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 I'm assuming I could. There is a heater in the garage but the doors fit like ass and it isn't insulated. A floor heater of some sort is my best bet I guess=) Rampelsauce is doing the coating so I am sure he is aware of that. Dave had his done and I haven't seen a picture of it thrown across his garage yet=P lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't hurt to mention it to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jc43089 Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 I have had front control arms powder coated and they used some special greenish clear tape to mask the ID where the ball joint presses in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserRolls Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Hang some plastic sheeting to seal it and crank a propane heater. No excuses. Earl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdesign Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Ive done the plastic wrap for heating a garage before and it works really well. I used a convection propane heater that looks like this and it was way better than a torpedo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Posted December 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Still chugging along slowly but surely. This afternoon I will be dropping my brake line fittings off for plating so I should be able to get the front brake setup all done shortly after I get them back. In other news I picked up a part I have been wanting for quite some time. I apologize for the potato quality lighting (and for not replacing my damaged HVAC panel before showing this haha) In an effort to make things as simple and clean as possible (most aesthetically) I removed the head unit in favor of controlling the speaker system in a different way. More on that once I actually start the wiring. Speaking of wiring, can someone help me find the amp wiring diagram for a premium sound compact? It looks like all other e36's use a similar but slightly different amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsbimmer1 Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 @Earl that's a 10 speaker system right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted December 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Yup=) (tweeter and speaker in each door, speaker in each foot well, and then two small speakers with two larger ones in the back) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsbimmer1 Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 I have a wiring diagram I just need to figure out how to get it from it's secured form to something I can send you that's readable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted December 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 That's awesome! Thank you Pat Also, screw purchasing from Panjo. I bought a set of brand new oem grilles that a guy had sitting and he hasn't responded to anything since I bought them over a week ago. I also emailed Panjo to get a hold of him and they haven't even responded to me. Such a joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
