'Cracking' job tackling that cracked dash, looks an awful lot better now😄 That intercooler looked big, will look forward to the turbo install and will be fascinating to see how it transforms the drive 😎
It seems like every time I’ve worked on a BMW you had to know crazy tricks to get the job done easily. If you don’t know the trick, it was very difficult and hard to figure out! I had a vacuum canister in my Ford van that had the lines to it disintegrated. It was under the blower fan under the battery under the AC lines under the hood. So I found a UA-cam video that said to pull the vacuum line through the firewall and install a new vacuum canister under the dash. So I did that and it probably saved about seven hours of work.
Yeah. The bmw vacuum for the hvac is… not fun. Especially because you can’t just buy the parts. I do refurb them. But they never work as well. I have gotten to the point where my goal is repairable and reliable. So I’ll replace parts as a can with other parts that will work regardless of them being bmw parts. :-) I can get ford and Chevy parts at autozone. :-)
Nice work! What kind of glue did you use? I once redid the headlining of my w124 with spray-on glue and it was horrible. Next time i‘ll use something that is stronger an can be applied with a brush. Anyway, lft your opinion on the glue-topic😄 Best wishes from germany
I believe I used super 77 its called. Ive seen it used on shows that show upholstery work so I figured if its good enough for them it would work for me. It seems to do well.
44 cents IS 44 cents in your pocket and NOT OUT of your pocket.
Absolutely!! And i would still do it even if it wasn't coming in. But it does help.

The turbo thing is a huge project and a big learning curve. Luckily I have some cool stuff to fill while I figure it out.

Oh and the heater core is a nightmare man. That thing was NEVER meant to come out. Lol
@@fortheloveofcarz that’s right!!
