Do the full SS Line
I called UUC to get the order canceled so I can order it.
Smart move.
Pulled off the driver side a pillar because the cloth was starting to get really bad. Found this little surprise hiding behind it. I need to trace it back to the source somewhere underneath the dash.

Wonder what it is for. BTW post a pic of your pillars
This morning I dealt with the stray wire. The wire on the other end was split and spliced into the red connectors. I removed/cut that connection and put electrical tape over it. I may deal with it at some point in the future. I need to figure out what the P.O. did. There is also a fuse wired which I thought was weird.

After that I pulled the seat and replaced the memory module.

A quick drive shows better voltage but I need to watch it more to be sure.
And now I am working on the A/B/C pillars.Quote:

I will say the material is slightly darker than the headliner.
Do the airbag covers fit into the pillars ? They look good though
They should. I have not done that yet because I need to cover them too.Quote:

Hmm, my bed is the stray wire was a power source for a gauge, navigation unit, or maybe a radar detector. Just wanted it down on the left rather than the middle of the windshield.
Otherwise, good work!
That is my thinking too. I still would like to clean it up at some point.Quote:

Awesome.
Had a little impromptu unplanned maintenance today. Word to all: Avoid Wahler thermostats at all costs.

My weekend update involved a bunch of work:
- Oil Change
- Cleaned thermostat mating area / Re-sealed the thermostat
- Replaced the expansion tank
- Replaced battery under warranty; no more voltage issues!!
Thumbs up
A little OT but my XJ restoration project got completed recently. Complete overhaul of the suspension with a lift and bigger tires.

Still need to clean a few things the detailer missed. Also found out I have hail damage. :/ At some point that will be addressed as well. Just filed the claim today with the insurance.
Impressed?
The detail was good, not great. The bar has been set a bit high by a good friend who has a detailing side business. It is unfortunate he is a 1000mi away.Quote:

Guess it is time to find a body shop to perform the repair.
As much as it sucks, at least you will have new paint.
Recognize when you say this, aftermarket paint/process is not even close to as good as what came on the car.Quote:

For reference with PSS9s (on my old 325i), there is no gap (granted I didn't want to run it that low....)
