That looks great, for the first time id say you did well. Black is always tough to fitness/keep clean as everyone knows.

Yesterday, though I stretched out her legs. Longest trip since I bought the car last summer. Fastest, too. ;)

We met up with almost a dozen members of the Utah BMW Enthusiasts group, and headed out about 120 miles west of Salt Lake City to Wendover via the Bonneville Salt Flats.

The Salt Flats were under half a foot or so of water due to the rains earlier in the week. It was my first time there, but we're definitely going back at some point. It's in the middle of nowhere. I mean, Wendover is nine miles away and kind of dump - casinos and hotels. Legitimately nothing else around it for about an hour in each direction. Forgot to take a photo of my own car there. Doh.

Wendover is half in Nevada and half in Utah. The nice, clean, fun half is on the Nevada side and all casinos, while the old and run-down industrial half is all on the Utah side.

After a stop at a rest area on the last leg to Wendover, I had to hustle to catch up with the group. I shouldn't say exactly how fast I was going, so I'll just say the speedo had used up the vast majority of its travel. The car was smooth and stable the entire time. I can't be certain, but I'd guess the ZHP is roughly a 150MPH car give or take. :)

Cheers,
SC

(Yesterday) I installed an armrest delete console with a euro tray and a storage tray to replace the cigarette tray in the back. I also repaired the wiring connectors for my lit shift knob.

All in all, the interior is coming along nicely!

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

I've been tied up for the past 3 months and finally had a chance to take a few days off. Installed some very nice M seats in my 323ci. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...fb71da0d66.jpg
To replace these, which will eventually go in a buddy's e30.

Also, figured out I have a bad sway bar end link. Started to produce definite clunking over bumps. Not CAB's since I've got PF ones there. Link was frozen pretty good, so going that route first. Waiting on new SPC top plate for camber plates I bought used a while back before I swap those out.
And finished up putting newer black seats in our e36. Rear seat will be done tomorrow. Wife likes the black on tan and we just had the headliner repaired so I don't want to swap everything out.

Also reworked the stereo in it since am/fm didn't work and had some issues with some of the speakers not working. Dead ground isolator.
EDIT: Almost forgot that I installed these too.
