B C Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Glad to see your commitment to perfection and attention to detail are still alive and well. Most people dont know it but at the E30 picnic and Concours I inspect peoples door latch strikers. I have a running list of cars I would and would not buy if I ever saw them for sale. KaiserRolls, suspenceful, nick.e46.330i. and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Earl! I can believe you still working on the car. Keeps looking better and better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted April 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Pulled my steering column yesterday to rebuild it. Just waiting on my parts to arrive so I can put it back in all freshened up=) I also finally sourced a master cylinder to use and have ordered all of the brake line that I need to plumb the rest of my brakes. I got bored at work today and shaved off all of the casting marks. I will be painting it to match my engine block when I get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Posted April 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 They get squeaky and loose on e36's=) However this one felt fine before but doing it while the dash is out only made sense. The one in the coupe is starting to squeak and will probably need to be rebuilt in the future as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Posted May 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m42b32 Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 If you don't have access to the back side of where they snapped, drill out the base of the snapped studs, pop in some nutserts and some stainless steel bolts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted May 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 I'm assuming the other side of that sheet is my floor lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungCR Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Replacing all the lines isn't a bad idea at this point along with cleaning out the fuel tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought. andyhundley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
