A Slick Top Stripper in Mystic Blue

That looks fantastic, have the before photos? Mine have some nice discoloration I’d love to remedy if possible

Not good ones because I didn't realize how dirty the seats were and I really didn't think it work that well. The seats looked reasonably clean, but they were obviously in need of a deep cleaning. It can't hurt and those Bissell's are pretty cheap. If you have an Ollie's nearby (its a bargain bin place) they routinely sell them for 49 to 79 dollars.

Differential shaft seal replacement (for the convertible) and new hood struts (for the coupe). Shaft seal is the corteco part that is updated. Quite a bit more sturdy it would seem to me. New one has larger spring and a different lip. 9.5 turns to remove the shaft seal nut. 9.5 turns back on.










These are the Stabilus (TRW owns now I guess) and what came factory. A third of the price as the BMW branded and work great.

Re-sealed the diff plate to the diff for the convertible using Loctite 5290. Cleaned the surfaces with a razor blade and brake cleaner prior. This one still had the original paper gasket so it was only a matter of time. before it leaked there as well.

Now that I've been running the euro exhaust setup for a while with the stock suitcase muffler I decided to swap in the rogue engineering el diablo. On U.S. headers, RE rasp pipe for section 1, and stock section 2 the el diablo droned like a MFer from 2200 to 3000 RPM.

The drone is largely gone with euro headers, euro section 1, stock section 2. Interesting.
