What did you do to your E3 today?

New PS hoses, fluid flush, new filter, and a good cleaning. My old hose were 50 years old, hard as a rock and starting to drip.

Parts list:
Hoses 32411131545 from ECS
Febi PS fluid from FCP
Filter 32411104357 from RM European
 
@MyBMWHabit How about some pictures of the Bavaria....and a few of the E28 too?
Here you go! Here's the girls in the driveway just before the rain (I'll have a lot more pics in a couple of weeks, when the damn rain stops) and a copy of my column in this months Straight Six, the magazine of the BMWCC of GB. There's an accidental edit in the column, the 84 Spider is still here, it's my 73 with the carbs that I got rid of.

Gotta say I'm really in love with these two. May just need another E12 to round out the set! hahaha. Here's the one I never should have sold years ago...
If I'd only known my pal Austin then, I would have had support for the car.

Fixed my brake reservoir float. The old one has fallen off its stem and sank to the bottom. Retrofitted a new ATE float to attach to the original black cap with the blue dot. Didn't want to use the new white ATE cap that cap with the new float part. Had to trim the new float stem and bore it out with a 1/16th drill bit to accommodate the old copper float stem. Old float stem also needed some trimming, maybe 40% was removed. Works great and parking light is now off!
