I managed to save $50 by repairing the broken carrier. The black wheels look slick. Today I installed the new passenger seat (not pictured) I found on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bimmerforums.com\">bimmerforums<\/a> for that $50 I didn&#8217;t spend on the headlight carrier.  <\/p>\n<p>All-in-all the project is proceeding well, if more slowly than planned.  I&#8217;m finding each little project takes about twice as much time as I think it should.  That&#8217;s what happens when you have a 20 year old car I suppose. (Next year it&#8217;s &#8220;Historic&#8221;.) I have to work more on the family\/garage balance thing.  Too bad I have to go to work.  Or sleep&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>In Maryland, you have to pass the safety inspection before you can register a car.  I got the car titled this week and got a 30-day registration to get it passed inspection.  Looking at the inspection list, I think only the non-functioning speedo\/odometer is holding me up now.  My goal is to get the car ready in more or less stock configuration in time for the next CCA driver&#8217;s school 1 August.  I think it&#8217;s doable.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/georgeco\/2643795433\/sizes\/l\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3152\/2643795433_5167edee65.jpg?v=0\" alt=\"side view\" width=\"450\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the end of week three I managed to patch together the broken headlight carrier, install a new headlight and re-aim the beams.
