UPS came today. (thanks Jason)
Quick rack - good timing as the standard one needs new rubbers etc anyway.
I've got a poly bush for the steering joint.
Also, got this brace for between the front ARB mounts. Just going to paint enamel black before bolting on with the poly bushes throughout the car.
Decided to make a start on the remaining parts of my interior that need to be dyed black. Parcel shelf looks way better.
Carpet will be next along with finally fitting my rear headrests.
Also treated myself to a set of these. Guess what colour?

Seems they've had a run on pink so I'll have to put up with orange.
Jacko - making changes is all part of the fun mate.

320i & 325i E30 (Pre facelift models) 1989 ~ 1992 5 Coolant TCS-361/C £166.20
Plus another £16 to have them in pink Jimmy.
I tried some rear headrests that I got gifted cheaply. I was a bit unsure at first but they've sorta grown on me.
I just need to follow Jimmy's advice and dye the carpets black next. I think I'll wait till it gets warmer first though.

It's a long story but eventually it's going on my car. Probably not till September time though, as it's being fitted by the same company as did the exhaust ( www.christullettexhausts.com ) , but they're waiting till the race season is over when they have more time.
I'm also in two minds as to converting the engine. I'd really like a supercharged 2.5 but it's a serious amount of cash to do the job properly. I've been offered an eta bottom end so that's always an option too.
Really it's the chassis and brakes that are being sorted next. I have all the parts ready after being refurbished. Jimmy @ RPM has also engineered a solution rather than just slotting the Volvo calipers. He's also fitting the polybushes throughout.
Samco have said they're happy to make a run of hoses if people are interested? Maybe a group buy opportunity? I know they're not cheap but I think they're pretty tough and ordinary hoses aren't exactly cheap!
So, fingers crossed, next week is brakes, quick-rack and polybush time!
