so setting the dash today and the front clips wont set -or stay
so i trimmed a slice of oak and slid it
inside the clip from underneath
. also the sunroof clips will also work in place of the dask clips if you need extras.

Outstanding work! Can't wait to see the finished product
thank you for you kind comments
as i look at things- i sure knicked up a lot of stuff in the
multiassembly process- will have to get out the fine paintbrush for tons of
touchup.
finally getting to set up the dash
now that the wiring is good.
break in speed data on the cowl
setting the strut brace tomorrow and
finish the dash
hole in heater cover for alarm pin
clean up day tomorrow
took a while but i got the ac side panels to upset in the dash equally
the right one came from the factory a little low.

so i used two pieces of plastic -
one inset in the wheel to center it and filled the "sandwich" with extra plastic and cardboard.
set the center piece first-then weatherstrip adhesive the top, as aligned with the center color
outline.
i cracked a piece of the def vent so jbwelded it back in place.
the left top of the driver side
sanded smooth and painting flat black
then mequires40
Ill post finish tomorrow

this is impressive Alan. I am sure many of us wonder about these mods. You are very brave to take this on, and it is very helpful for you to post these photos. Nice work! Mike
set the radiator hoses "kuhler"
used the stock m5 top one to begin with
then cut the cernter and rotated and added a 90 Deg at the bottom.
i used the stock radiator but had a third core installed and had the fittings come straight out.
used 1-1/2" copper pipe to connect the various pieces.
fits very well used the old orig hoses as needed bends.
trimmed off the excess hose clamp

it seems that with the 11:1 compression the 475 cranking amps arent't enough
to break it in.
so ill need two batteries till i run it for awhile
so borg warner makes a battery relay number 3098 .
so this relay only connects the second battery when the ignition is on.
that shoukl help.
