Das Race: My '97 M3/4/5

[Jake]

Dragged the space heater into the garage over the weekend, threw on a thermal shirt and got some stuff done.

Cage is painted (needs some touch up in spots with a brush). Dash is installed and required some trimming via angle grinder, which I expected. Got the seats, wheel and harnesses back in as well. The only outstanding item is the switch for my fan, it's piggybacked on the cigarette lighter wiring and something there keeps blowing that fuse in the fuse box. I'm guessing a wire is shorting out somewhere, so need to check that.



Also pulled off all of my old vinyl. Trevor Parmer/VBD is cutting new stuff to help match up with the cage color and make the car look a little more cohesive.



Weather this coming weekend should be fairly nice, so I'm planning to do my fluid swaps and catback install on Saturday, then take the car for an alignment (according to DJ, that needs to be done after cage install). I have a radio "blank" faceplate coming in the mail, which will allow me to mount my AIM Solo and have it look halfway decent.

Onward!
