It was time to update here now... Only small things happe theese days, but here are pics nevertheless:





Small details:







Roof cover







Inside...










Had to install the rest of the door covers







Damn, I did a mistake, I cut the wrong hole! CRAP! I need to install a plastic cap now.....







Front






Some pics from paint-shop, my plastic details are getting a makeover....












Mirror

















Shiny black, nice...





















The parts are not installed, due to some dust etc - so some parts will have another layer before I get the parts home...



I have a pic here of the cap I will use, and a pic of how it would look like...








Got some packages:






Nice wrapping, but not Alpina-parts inside though







Contained a coverplate for 524td, I did not like it. I will continue my search for an original euro cover







Since the seats are so nice, I thought I wanted to shine up the rest too.










Broken cover, new ordered







As the parts are ready for sandblasting, I'll continue with theese :







I must admit that I do not want to cut in my new headliner






New hooks are needed, here is the old one






New:






Ended well though...






Happy that I did it, I love it now...







Hood needs an insulationcover on the inside










New parts:







Glue drying:







One side:







The other side:







Finally got the seal for the rear lock:







I forgot this earlier, so here it is:







In place, soaked in Tectyl:







More new parts, for rear window, see the short damaged old one..







Remember a dirrrrty rear light?







Both rear lights polished, ended up nice:










Finally, where they belong. With new bulbs ofcourse:










Bad picture-quality, sorry...







New parts, not installed yet:







Got only one of theese, the other one is on its way:







Missing alot here, they are also ordered. For the moonroof.







Clips for sensor, air temp:







I know this is not where it is supposed to be, but I decided to put it there...







Nice?







Also a new cover, nut and filter for servo/brakeoil.







Some pics of the filterchange:







Pay attention to the tensioned spring beneath the clips....







Good to go..







The internal parts:







Assembly is just opposite, here are the tool I needed for simplify the job.










Fill oil up to 16mm from top, after you have pushed the brakepedal some times first.







Engine bay getting better:







And I got a reminder:







I will get a cable from a used wreck soon...


2 used headlamps, low...






Second package:







Yeah! New lamps:







Wrecked old lamps, never to end up on a car again...:







Assembly:







Finally:







New clips, and properly Tectyled:







Aaaaand we got'em mounted!







Park:







Low beam:







High beam!







Center console







Dirty, and the old Alpina plaque was almost dead...







Directly from Alpina :







Looking better







E-brake rubber.







Ofcourse... I am missing the two plugs on the console. I'll deal with it later.



 

New parts again:







Had only one holder, and that was bad too. Got to get a few used ones...







Used parts again, looks like crap. Washing and grinding...







Silver paint makes it better







Better, and with new screws...







New screws here too







Just checking, adjustments needs to be done..







And yes, I will go for white blinkers.


Polished headlight rings:







Got some friends for visit:







Blasted some parts







Crap, no good...







Some work to do, oh yes...







primer:







Paint applied, not clear coat yet though...







Antenna is the black edition, but the nut came ofcourse in chrome...







Had to dig this up:







3 layers of Plasti Dip, 3 more to go:







Vipers, Bosch ofcourse...







Opened the package:







Do they come in in bits'n pieces?

Naaah.. Got to spray the wipers too, ofcourse....



More primer:










Got some used holders...

Into the dishwasher...


Better now:







Finally, here they are. Pay attention to the cable - I finally got one for my coolingtank.







Two layers of black, nice...







And they works!!







Due to some people arguing about yellow vs white blinkers, I had a pic with yellow ass swell. It still is white that I am going for.







Washersystem needs to be done too, so let get started...







New washer-motor:







The hose was too stiff, so I have to do something else...







Last package from BMW... New covers and bolts etc for the seats..






That was all from me this weekend!



I also have to say, that BuzzBomb on this phorum have been very helpful and ordered some Alpina-dekostripes for me. Thank you, Anthony! I cannot thank you enough!!
