found this off the voy forums. good to have a new home
I'm very eager to help out with graphics, finding articles etc if anyone needs (my paint/photoshop skills are not awful  )
Some ideas: can we have a permanent link to the voy emergency forums somewhere? not saying anything will happen, but just in case, so new people can bookmark it.. Also, will there be a site accompanying these forums? like the old BEN. If so, can we glean articles for new BENN from the old BEN via the internet archive? Or are they Gus's copyrights? I liked the 'whos online' feature of the old BEN as well... even beer smiley is here!  Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 12/11/2008 06:28AM by jordan_316i. |
Good idea. I'll see if I can decide where where to put it where it's noticeable but not too intrusive.
Yes. The parent page, http://bmwe30network.net/. Right now there's nothing there, but we are definitely planning to fill it with stuff.
Me too. I've added that feature. (I like the easy ones. )__________ Dave '91 325iX |
I think this is the one you're thinking about, I wrote one for the wiper motor. [e30world.com] Maybe you could get Igor through the site, didn't try that  little busy here today
|
Thanks Rick, that's the one 
Now all we need to do is contact 'igor' and get permission to link the site or copy it to our own articles section
|
Perhaps someone who knows Igor should contact him rather than me. Just a thought. (Still, I can try if you like) Cheers, Kelly |
I used the 'contact' button on the page and e-mailed him. Let's see what he has to say

Hey, I just found you all. I hope that doesn't mean you'll be moving again.
I was starting to get worried that this forum might have disappeared and that was bugging me. I think the knowledge base here is better than on the other e30 forums I've looked at. And there are some good watch pictures posted once in a while too. What's that Russian site that you get at the old forum address? It looks like a UFO fan site or something. John |
Hi John, Glad you found us again. This is our new home and we're staying put. We have a new host that is both secure and reliable. Any monkey business by aliens will be quickly dealt with
Do you like steampunk?... 
|
I had to look up "steampunk" as I hadn't ever heard of it before. Yes, I like that kind of stuff, and I like that watch too. John |
It's a work in progress. The base watch was a Citizen dive watch that stayed down too long. I cleaned the dial down to bare brass then 'aged' it in a jar with a bunch of pennies floating around in some ammonia. The bezel was all scratched with missing numbers so i biffed it down to what you see; stainless steel. The luminous product on the hands had turned to black gunk and destroyed the chrome plating so I sanded them down and cleaned off all the old luminous paint. The old movement supplied good parts to three other similar watches which are now all nicely restored to their original look. I rebuild a very nice automatic Seiko movement from the late 60s that will drop right in. I'm only missing the proper winding stem. Once I have that, it will be complete...and a bit of a conversation piece

Interesting...wonder what it is; maybe a computer or tv? |
if you click the link above the picture, you will get more information. the link also links to the step by step build page. it is an "all-in-one" PC.
