Thanks guys Right now I feel like a train wreck so I'll give it a week before going back at it again. Doesn't get easier as you get older....that part sucks....

I'll be going to the jacuzzi this morning

I now have the fun part of having to get 4 long wires to splice onto the existing mirror control wiring so that I can run them thru the door into the cabin to route to my center console. I would have to say this is probably the hardest part of this whole entire retrofit. Luckily, I have excellent soldering skills

Here's a few pics of what I'm talking about...

The mirror switch is connected to this module thru the 4 blue-green wires...the group going up from the module.


You can see me holding the mirror switch connector in this pic..

While I was there taking these pics I decided to plug in the environment module so most of my dash console is put back together


Side impact air bag is removed since the OEM CSL door cards are carbon fiber. CSLs don't come with side impact air bags because of this....a small tradeoff to have something rare and unique

Back at it (and a lot of progress). I thought you were taking a hot tub break?

BP's just willing to help anyone in the "family"

I'll give him a 1-2 years to figure out his plans for moving out here because I'm gonna need his help when I finally 6 cyl swap the 320

Old carpets were finally taken out....gonna get rid of the grey finally!

So you got the door cards out without removing the rear bolsters... I'll send you a message so I can deal with swapping my rear armrests with the silver cube ones, but first I have to finish working on the E21 so I have the garage space back

He was in the hot tub time machine, he relaxed then travelled back to this morning so he wouldn't lose any project time

Yes, it was very easy. Even Botond was surprised at how easy it was for me to reinsert them At this point, there's nothing inside I'm not afraid of taking apart anymore in my ///M or ZHP... If anything, with my ZHP I can always call Dario for additional tech support since Dario has completely rebuilt at least two ZHP's

Getting ready to get my drink on and then head out over to the jacuzzi yet again.... Us old guys need some jacuzzi action after a hard day's modding
