Restoration: e34 M5 (metallic dolphin)

and the front bumper covers are in, with the original clips



Even the new seal along the bumper is fitted



What I do need is 2x plugs like this? Can anybody help?

Where did you manage to get the fog light holders/brackets?

 

[Adi]

From a scrapyard here in JHB. Do you need? Both sides?

Only have one fog light, the other was bought but is still in the UK. My headlights are a disaster, I need the left hand side still, will try via UK eBay.

Did you try buying new headlamps from Hella ? I seen on their website that they still sell the headlights for the E30 , I was wondering if the ones they sell are glass or not , BMW quoted me R6000 up for a set of new headlamps for my E30 .

I tried, no longer available........been looking literally globally.

Ok, update, still struggling to find the passenger side lights. But the back bumper is almost done



All the clips and heat shields are in, missing a beading, bought but it's in the UK at present

Ok, so I spent almost 3 hours drilling out the current ignition lock.

Not only was it broken, and the switch damaged, but in all the cables there was a immobilizer. OK, that's all gone now.



Ready to fit the new cyclinder



The old one made a real mess

This thread has to be the longest tease in history.

This thread has to be the longest tease in history.

But a beautiful example of dedication to the cause.

Just read this thread from Page 1 and cant wait for the end result.....truly amazing the work gone into it:coolShake:

Ok, need some help on sticker placement.
Does anybody know exactly where the red radio security code stickers goes in the back window?

 

[Holiman]

Much like the rest of the folks here, I started from post number one. I have never really been interested in the E34 shape (im an E39 Fan) but the workmanship put into this car is admirable. This is true dedication to what probably looked like a waste of time in someone else's eyes.
Keep up the good work and I can honestly say, i cannot wait to see the final result. :clapper::coolShake::chef:raise:

Is it that red sticker on the front window in this picture?
