Project E30

[Chris]

well I finally got around to tackling some issues I've had with the car since its track appearance back in July. My power windows stopped working, so I took the wire from the power window regulator and took an 18 gauge wire and attached it to the regulator. Then I took the spliced end of the wire and touched each to a 12v cordless drill battery- now I'm able to roll the windows up and down! Its probably the most ghetto way of rolling windows down, but hey so far so good.

Tonight I pulled the dashboard up in hopes of finding the source of the electrical problem I'm having with my gauges. In the process I pulled out the remaining carpet and a lot of sound deadening material. I didn't get around to much of the wiring, thats for another day. Anyway, here are a few pics:


Battery powered windows!
