The un-boxing..

Ok, ok, you all already knew what was in the box, but I needed to create some tension.

...and yes they are real Hella´s.

New headlights were high on my list of things to do, but for one reason or another something always got in the way (talk about not having my priorities straight : )

Since i´d already given myself a deadline to finish by the Holidays, i decided that i could safely eat Ramen Noodles for the foreseeable future.  So off i went and added these bad boys to the shopping cart.

As i´d mentioned before, the old stock headlamps were in rough shape and also mismatched, one set being Hella and the other Bosch.  My plan was to spruce up the car and Blacked out headlights take it to another level, kind of like the difference between Bruce Wayne and Batman.  Yes Bruce is a handsome fellow with cash and good taste, but Batman is so much cooler and menacing.
And that´s what these bring to the E34.

Since i´m the kind of guy that can´t sit still for more than 30 seconds, i´ll be putting them on tomorrow.

Stay tuned. Same Bat-Time, same Bat Channel.

  1. Evening!

    It's great to hear from someone else with a similar car, especially someone who's not from around here.

    I've just had a look at your blog and bookmarked it, I'm looking forward to see what you're doing with your car.
    A couple of pictures of yours would be golden, just for comparison of course ;)

    There are a few pages on the internet with some (mostly very limited) information about the cars, I'll try to find them again and link them to you.

    Yet again, cheers for the encouragement and for posting here, it's sadly a car that's often overlooked / hard to find!

    Best Wishes

    1. Welcome Flaffy!

      So glad you posted. I wasn´t sure if any owners of this hidden gem of a car would find the blog.

      I would have to agree with you, it is a car that is overlooked especially here in the "South" As far as i know mine may be the only one down here.

      I´ll be posting some old photos the seller sent me when i was looking at the car, so you can see it in its unmolested state...good for comparison ; )

      If you don´t mind i think it would be great to get some pictures of your car on here. Perhaps you can tell us your particular story, as well as post any relevant information.

      Glad to have you aboard and stay tuned for more!

      Cheers!
