Nothing much but a workshop update, Got the rear passenger door locking gun replaced, something called the headlight module replaced due to a faulty one which melted through the plastic.
What’s new on the E34 for 2010? A new nose, a new windscreen, lighter window tints. Here’s are just 2 simple shots from the phone. The Canon will be unavailable for a while.
What’s planned for the E34? Manual transmission, Massive brakes, More handling bits. 
Back from the painted wide grille mod and bumper repair and paint touch ups, the car was sent to have its long-overdue windscreen replaced. If you drive an old car with an old windscreen, you’d know how pathetic pitted, scratched up, dirty old windscreens can be. I always had the urge to replace but there were always another priority. Now that i’ve fulfilled most of the checklist, it’s time.
The windscreen replacement was pretty affordable. I opted for Malaysian made OEM glass and everything including labour came up to RM550. This is also because i chose not to replace the rubber mouldings which costs about a grand to replace. Continue reading ‘E34: Windscreen replacement’
There were plans to revamp the current body especially the bumpers and all but the rush for the coming festivities (next week) puts it on hold. The E34 will now, only receive a part paintjob and repairs to the existing bodykit. Not a major job but good enough to put the car back on track considering the cracked, broken and chipped front end.
The front bumper needed the most work. Though i’m not sure how well the lower section has been prepped. The replica Schnitzer bumpers are known to produce a wavvy finish due to poor reproduction and fitment problems. Continue reading ‘E34: Paintshop Prepping’
Here are more recent updates on the E34. Yes, it’s still unpainted. I took the effort to lay on a coat of flat black on the bonnet. Not the best effort, but good enough for a temporary look Loving the wide grille now since it adds to the wide and low front.
Can’t wait to get it all black and glossy again
As with many Euro freaks, i am, too a big fan of Studie AG. It’s just that special touch the Japanese have when fiddling with cars. Especially their controversial approach towards the aesthetic part of it. I came across Garage36 from a lead that an old friend, Frank, provided. Louis, who runs Garage36 very recently made a trip to Japan, to visit the Tokyo Auto Salon.
I never got the chance to visit Studie during my last two trips to Tokyo. The Next time, i wil. But Thanks to Louis’s coverage, i now have an updated view of Studie AG. Very refreshing as compared to the older Studie Magazines i have owned. Continue reading ‘Studie AG visit by Louis of Garage36.’
Just a wild photochop work. The MINI is almost half way there with the Signal Green paintjob. It now needs more GT3 RS-esque features. Though Duell AG already have ready-made versions that resembles the look, unfortunately it’s for the R56 versions. The earlier R53 versions don’t posses the same look.
It’s still a photoshop work. So no promises. But it is the look that i desire most for the MINI.
Haven’t been posting much and even less on the MINI. Here’s a recent picture of the engine. Just gotta love the green eyes
Here are some updates on the MINI. The pre-facelift xenon headlights have made way for the newer projector versions. As expected, the MINI now looks 5 years younger. The projectors also provide significantly better , farther, beams plus the cut-off that only projectors can provide.
