I put this:

Into my car, and fixed a bit of the endless abortion that is the PO's wiring "fixes"

What did everyone else do with their cars this weekend????

Tried this out for the first time

And actually am slightly impressed, never did waterless car washing before.

I can't tell from the picture what that is. Sounds like wizardry

It's FW1, waterless car wash stuff, waxes a bit too. Every now and then you see some guys peddling it at large gas stations, its pretty god damn expensive though, the cheapest I think I've seen it is like 15-20 bucks a can.

Cool :) which car did it go in?

I hooked up my engine mounts to my Triumph 6-cylinder ready for it to be offered up to the chassis (so I can find out where to weld a gearbox mount on).

Didn't get much further than that though :S was working

It went on my '93 325i. It was a proactive measure. The stock radiator is old, and they tend to break. Also, the mounting bracket was broken, and the old radiator was literally held up on the drivers side by a shoe string. Needless to say, I got new brackets.

Oh cool :) is a '93 an E36? If so, then I've got a 325i myself. Bought it for £275 from my mate, fixed it up a little and hooned it around until I crashed it (bloody stupid 'watch this' moment).

It's currently in the queue of projects waiting to be fixed. I've got everything together apart from a right-hand wing, which has proven rather difficult to find.

Yeah, its an e36, I think the second year if I'm not mistaken. Single VANOS M50 engine. I am almost done going through the drive train and suspension. Next is all the cosmetic stuff. Its tons of fun though.

Yeah, they're great cars. I remember being distinctly impressed coming from my 156 V6. It's not a better or worse car, but it's does different things very well. The chassis is very well balanced, a real joy to drive. The engine's not as brutal as the 156, but it still pushes you along at a great pace.
