just picked up a pair of e36 seats for $150

they're local so thats awesome. 

I would have preferred e30 but they're so expensive, and with mine being so broken, they'll do for now.  if they're as good in person as they look in the pictures, i'm sure i'll have no problem selling them

I wish it would get warmer so i can get to work, but this shit storm of snow and wind has been brutal. 

My shop press showed up from HF.  Hoping to assemble that tomorrow, maybe even start taking some stuff apart.

Did a bit more shopping.  Picked up some front hub assemblies, a steering wheel and a new fuel pump.

the whole assembly was quite expensive but i saw some people retrofit a universal one from like pepboys for about $70.  I went on ebay and ended up buying this.    Can't go wrong for $53

it arrived today and looks perfect.  the entire assembly and pump.  I'm going to throw it in my new tank sitting in the corner tomorrow to make sure it goes in nicely.  I'm happy because i didn't' like that an old rusty, cruddy looking hanger was going in my spiffy new tank with spiffy new lines.

quick query about that... the little metal hose that goes between the saddles of the fuel tank.  They're about $90 shipped   which i think is ridiculous.  I should be able to just go to autozone and just pick up an $6  5/16" brake line and bend that into place right?
like this? http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/AGS-Poly-Armour-Brake-Line/1991-BMW-318I/_/N-itbspZ8kp1m?itemIdentifier=216341_148248_3048_21814%2C90077
or would the nickel copper be better

Good deal on the fuel pump there. I'll keep that in mind.

I'd replace the s-bend pipe with something meant for fuel, since it's such a "I never what to do this job again" part. I'd assume you could bend any steel line, as long as the fittings match. There are many different types of threaded fittings, I'm not sure which one BMW used on those tank bungs.

I'm definitely going to try and pull the old one off to make sure everything of the ends and verify inner diameter, since i can't find any information on the side of the fuel line.  I just can't justify paying that much more than someone i could my self for practically nothing
