The earlier ones will mate up but the drain plug won't be at the very bottom and the shifter won't stick straight up.

Cool! My college room mate was working for Callaway in the mid 80s. We used to try and "break" the turbo vettes when they were in development. Led to big things for him - he worked at Cosworth and ILMOR and currently on the Rusport team. Is Callaway still around?

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I'd written about this a few days ago (and thanks to those who responded)... but having just attempted a repair that did not go well, I thought I'd ask again. The fabric headliner in my E36 is coming down. At the edges in front, and around the visors. I tried to glue the edges back down using an aerosol glue... but it immediately soaks through the fabric and makes a sticky mess you can't work with. Once the glue sets up a bit it's easier to get the fabric to stay where you want... but still, this is a crap repair... it looks bad, still isn't sticking everywhere I want, and I'm not sure what's going to happen to that glue when the heat of the sun bakes through. Anybody got any better ideas? And is there a glue that comes in a syringe so I can get some behind where the headliner bulges? - Kevin Jay '96 328is, red/tan, 97K, usual H&R/Bilstein setup, a few M3 parts too '02 X5 3.0, white/tan, 55K, bone stock ------------------------------ End of [bmwuucdigest] digest(9 messages) **********
