Started cleaning M3 upper oil pan in preparation for modifying it to fit the Massive lower oil pan conversion for S14 in a 2002.
Made a new metal faceplate for the center console that will house the headunit and three gauges. Same setup I had before - except I made that one from wood and it wasn't holding up very well.
Did not, paid a local BMW tech to do it on the side. I think the oil pan gasket would have taken me a whole day. I'm just glad to get that one taken care of.Quote:

I hadn't worked on car much lately. I have done a few small things in the black 02. Swapped seats. Installed new carpets and adjusted doors (to close better/easier). But not much else. Haven't touched wagon in forever. And felt lucky to vacuum out the X5.
So yea, I hear ya on lack of time.
December 28th, Laura returns to work. Progress on red car will likely grind to a halt.
i agree... it is hard. my kids are 8 and 11 now so it's easier, but i still do the bulk of my work from 9PM-onwards...Quote:

I had to dig up and repair my sewer line over the holiday and had to hire a babysitter to watch the kids because Kristen was at work... Can't justify that for working on the cars ;)
