wasnt m3 Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 I think it'd look nice and clean if you wrapped the reflectors to match the car, just my 2 cents. patsbimmer1 and Tkuhn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tkuhn Posted April 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 small update: Installed the shift pin and detent pin repair kit last night. Then got the trans into the car along with everything I had to take off to pull it. The clutch works correctly now lol. So the car is back on the ground. Also I finished the Frankenstein mirrors that a friend from Instagram told me I could make. It's a combination of some aftermarket e46 base plates and a Nissan style mirror. He didn't want me to completely share his secret though haha. Although these are proably a level 15 on a scale to ten for wrapping I still attempted it. Not 100% happy with it but I'd say I did okay. And here's a pic installed on the car. I really dig them, looks way better than the e36 M mirrors and more out of the box than e46 M mirrors.

patsbimmer1 Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 I have a very strong feeling I know what mirrors are! I really like the way they look on the car. Tkuhn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tkuhn Posted April 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 Small update. @Sam_Holzmann 3d printed me a dome light holder since it bothers the fuck out of me that I have no lights in the car when I open the door at night besides the ones on the floor. This is version 1 and needs some modifications to fit well but it works for now! I also put some leds it it because why not. I also added a top windshield strip with the same wrap that the car is wrapped in. I dig it, although I did go below the "A" line because I think it would have looked stupid with how small it would have been at the "A" line.

Tkuhn Posted April 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 Finally put in the driver side kickpanel/dead pedal that I've had sitting around since last summer. It required a little modification because of the floor plate. Also got some new harnesses, the blue ones are fine but looked wack with the red steering wheel and white car lol. super hyped on the interior again with the rear decklid and block off being complete along with getting those rear panels in earlier this winter.

Tkuhn Posted April 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 Wrapped the rear bumper tonight. Turned out better than the first time I tried. If you guys see the car in person you'll know what I mean. Also as you can see I opted for the clear reflectors. Also my DME showed up today as well, from getting a few modifications to the tune. So the goal for the weekend is to finish getting fluids in the car and have it up and running. 😁 P_Roloff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tkuhn Posted April 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 Update: Got all fluids in and started up with no problems. So since it was nice today in had to pull it out in the sun! It's almost hard to look at with the sun and no sunglasses Haha And here's a pic with the rear bumper on. I have a buddy that has offered up his mtech2 bumper for a really good price. Just not sure if I should go that route or get a lip for this bumper. Was checking lights and such and found that my left running light in the rear is partially lit on the brakes even when the brakes aren't pressed. Through process of elimination using a socket from my sedan I found that it's the socket holder itself. Luckily a new OEM one was only 30 bucks plus some shipping. So that's on its way. suspenceful and patsbimmer1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tkuhn Posted April 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 Small update after the productive weekend. Took the car for a drive down the street and everything seems good and normal like before. Speedo works correctly and that in itself makes me excited to no longer need to use a GPS Haha. Threw the quarter windows in after I took the pics on Saturday and on Sunday i put the grill in the front bumper. The car needs a solid wash, lots of dust from sitting in the garage.

Tkuhn Posted May 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Been slacking on updates since it's only been buttoning up some small things. Got my new bulb tray and threw it in the car. I currently have red incandescent bulbs in the running and brake positions and amber in the turn signal. Might convert to LEDs sooner than later so theres better light output and so it actually shows up red lol. It's kinda pink when the brakes are on.

But I do want to drive it more this summer than I did last summer. I do drive to the track, thrash for one or 2 days straight then drive it home Haha. So its 100% not a track only car.
