Wow! It's been a while!

I managed to get some time to check on my two patients in the backyard after about 6 weeks of no activity. The 320is started up and drove, but the 320i won't respond (it's the donor anyway, but it would be nice if it started!). I checked out all the body work I did almost two months ago and found only a couple of suspect places where rust has managed to continue. These are where I didn't fully treat and then seal the surfaces, so I can't complain about it too much.

The parts I've gotten a hold of over these past few weeks are: pre 1980 license frame (going to custom mount it for the euro bumpers) under the bumpers instead of on the back panel; two steering wheels (why have just one???) one is a is sport and the other is a momo leather one. I have to decide which one I want.

My goal for now is to work on the body right around where I have to reinstall the glass so that I can make the car at least drivable.

More later!
