I admire the effort you're putting into your 135, not many people put this much effort in their 15 year old cars.

Did you do most of the work yourself? Or do you have a mechanic helping you?

I'm debating changing some parts on my 135, but kinda scared to screw anything up.
Hey, I order from a few places: rockauto, park auto, germanparts, ebay, and the dealer. Really depends on availability, whether OE alternatives are available, and shipping costs, (and sometimes sales).

It's a fun hobby keeping the car up. I bought it in such great shape, it'd be a shame not to keep it up and improve it.

I do the work myself and have help from experienced people around me. Youtube is a major help too, there's a DIY video for pretty much everything.

What do you want to change?

HI Fishee, I noticed you changed your third brake light. I did mine a while back, but the new one is not working. I tried the old one back again, but it didn't work either (was functional before). Any idea what could cause this?

I would start by testing the lights, by putting 12v across the contacts in the connector. Rule out if it's the lights or the car.
