While I was fiddling about, something made me check the air filter. Wish I had done that at the start of the season...

Oh look, the wiring harness just about wore a hole through the intake resonator. Slap some velcro on there to keep it from happening again.

Here's the backside of the old door card. Check out the lovely mold and water damage - the vapor barriers definitely work.

Not perfect, but it's better than cutting off the back portion! Check out that nice new unwarped door card.

I used a hole saw to give the seat shoulder wing a place to tuck into

What you see here is over an hours worth of work with Goo Gone and a plastic scraper to get all the butyl off.

I cleaned out the thick old grease on the brackets, regreased, and replaced the slider boots.

Here's my new favorite way to keep fluid from draining out of the lines with a caliper off - just depress the pedal enough to cover the fill port in the master cylinder. A spare vise works fine.

Bores looked good. Just a tiny bit of wear on the bore. No lip or any sort of roughness. I polished it a bit with valve lapping compound just to be sure.

Make sure to run a tap through any holes when you buy cheap Chinese BMW parts.

Race seats can be pretty comfy if you do some work. This is the second seat I have put the same pieces of Confor foam from Aircraft Spruce in, and both are 8+ hour drive comfortable. Note the massive 5/6 point slot hole as a sign that this foam has been around for a few experiments! Anyway, I definitely recommend it. I'll get the blue bottom cushion sewn into a cover so that it's not so... distinctive.​​​
