First off all, sorry not for uploading anything the past month, the project have been delayed because of money and time, but now it looks like its back on track. Hopefully i will be able to upload once a week, much have been done on the car, but haven’t had the time to write anything.
However I was recently on a e30meet where i bought some interior pieces, Black leather dash (without scratches) and both door panels front and the rear ones, only few bits and pieces left to buy
Stay Tuned
1. Dashboard Clock. (Missing)
2. Dashboard recycle air button. (Missing)
3. Dashboard speaker Left/Right Adjuster button. (Missing)
4. Hood Latch .(Missing)
5. Inner window seal on passenger side.(Missing)
If someone have or know about anybody that have Sport seats in black leather, please send me a message on Facebook.
The ix is suffering after standing still for almost eight years and this is the list on what needs to be done.
1) Some rust holes, all precut and ready for welding. (Check! Only the battery box left “fixed now”)
2) A bad axle on the passenger side, making noises. (Found out this was because of the lowering springs in the front, “No it was from a plastic shield around the drive axle”)
3) The paint is rubbish and needs to be redone. “Finished”
4) Some interior panels and gear knob is missing.
5) The entire stereo is gone, so i have to get a new one, the original is too expensive as they cost 1000$ new. So I will have to live with an aftermarket one. “Focal 6,5 in front doors with external tweeters that I am going to install “In the mirror cover on itch side, Focal 6×9 in the back and a Kenwood BT player i got laying around”.
6) The Norwegian EU approval, when the ix passes the test performed by mechanics it will become street legal. If not complete I will get a list of stuff I will need to get in better condition for example: bushings or rust.
7) New rims 17″ 8.5 inches in front and 17″ 10 inches in the back. 215/35/17 and 255/30/17. “not sure yet”
8) Suspension, new H&R 50/50 Springs and Bilstein HD dampers. (The front left shock is dead) “not sure yet”
9) Engine tuning (Miller Chip and LMM conversion, Performance headers) “Found out the mille chip only work on Facelift engines…”
10) Service: Oil, oil filter, Fuel filter and spark plugs. (Done)
11) Brake Lines is dented, broken, rusted and worn. The front end looks good, but the lines running from the abs to the rear are in horrible condition, both the lines and the rubber houses are bad. (The longest line running from the front to the rear are replaced with new, and i have bought the others but have not have time to replace them yet.) “Somebody will do this for me because i have given up haha”
