Hi, i have two old E12 or E28 instrument clusters but they are not complete. You can have them if you want them. I think i posted some pictures of them some time ago so have a look at my posts, they may be there. I should be home by Tuesday should you want them.

Installed a grid to protect the sub:

Installed red LED's in front footwells:

Changed the LED's in the boot to red so they match:

Got a Nardi wheel still need to get a hub as the one I have dont fit right:

Has a misfire so had to change the plugs. Cleaned the intake up to the manifold:

All the rubber hoses in the car needs to b e replaced as they are falling apart:
<a href="http://s1279.photobucket.com/user/lordicon232/media/WP_20140621_12_08_26_Pro_zpsa585b975.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y527/lordicon232/WP_20140621_12_08_26_Pro_zpsa585b975.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo WP_20140621_12_08_26_Pro_zpsa585b975.jpg"/></a>

Car runs much better now, no more cold start problem.

Changed the oil as it was as thick as syrup! Car is still leaking allot of liquids:
