What did you do for your ZHP/ BMW / MINI today? #2

I started it and moved it out of the garage. May have been the first time since the reunion back in October.

Had to get the ladder out for the painter.

I just changed the o-ring in my kinda sorta maybe lower coolant temperature sensor. Since the sensor works fine I read about threads to just change the o-ring for less than a buck. So far so good!!

This is what I changed here: http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho....php?p=5373556

I got a new CobyWheel, ebrake handle and boot, and shift boot so I decided the crappy sand interior had to go.....

So I made my new to me 03, 330 ZSP (Mtech 1) go from an interior like this.....



To this.....


And this......





Once it warms up, the seats and middle door panel cards will all be done in ZHP factory color Natural Brown and the headliner and pillars will be done in Alcantara.

At that point, my car which has a 3.64 diff from a ZHP, will be almost as good as a ZHP minus the cams and a 4k power dip

Woot. Another custom 2-tone beige sedan!

For me, I took apart two sets of different color door cards and then put them back together. The whole process took about two weeks. I worked on a little bit each day. It took longer than I expected. I recommend only using one door panel set and just dying the leathered the color that you want. It's faster than having to take apart and reassemble two entire sets.

Thanks for that. if the time comes for something like that I might take a couple of days off from work after a 3 day weekend and just crank it all out. I have a better idea of what road i want to go down after i leatherique my front seats.

On mine I started on Friday at 3pm and had the new carpet and dash replaced by about 10pm (had my kids helping, so worked slow as I was explaining things and letting them turn wrenches). The door panels (black for now) were done the following Saturday morning. Then it took me all day Saturday to disassemble the seats (remove the backs and side panels) and dye the seat backs, refurb and paint the center console, Re glue A and C pillars, and it was 100% "done" by Sunday afternoon.

If you had all the black pieces and weren't dyeing certain parts, you could easily do it in a day.

I've got my tan door panels apart and I'm just waiting till warmer weather to dye my seats and pull my headliner and pillars for alcantara wrapping. Also need a black arm rest. So it's way better than all tan, but not done yet....

Put in new air filters, engine and cabin. The air filter for the PI is quite the PITA, and expensive. Fortunately some digging around here revealed that NAPA's Silver 36301 filter fits nicely and is a fraction of the cost.
