Default stuck 'er in

Positive battery cable in/route in oe location under carpet. I'll put this thing on a diet at some point, that foam is unacceptable.




Z3 rack installed and centered, 6 pumper in there. Trans all hooked up, fuel lines converted to obd1 setup. Found it my guibo has small rips. I'll do that when I get rear sub frame bushings.



Everything is a mess... Haha. That e30 over there is my roommate's m60 project. We put the m60 in there the night before.

It runs!

Just need to bleed the steering and coolant
Build an exhaust
Align the front
Get an electric radiator fan (the Volvo is too thick.)

Got to drive it around the block. I used the Volvo fan, just put it in front of the radiator. Got some valvetrain noise, hope that resolves itself, it has been a year or so since it ran. Now I just need nut serts for the z3 x brace and still need to do the exhaust. Open headers be loud!

Long time no update.
Been driving it without a hitch, still taking it easy because all my bushings are effective as gummy worms.

Really want a different muffler, the magnaflow is way loud

Put in a nose piece and plastidipped it for now

Traded my old m44 for a rear bumper, ordered an m3 bumper

Going to paint them with this till I respray the whole car

And the piece of resistance


Anybody know what this is? I don't like it.

Default I have been busy

e30 condor subframe mounts, had to have them machined to fit. custom spacers to drop the diff down from the subframe. The subframe is about 8 mm higher than it was which helped a lot with the rear camber and toe.

The last 2 are videos

Ruined some tires

Now my diff groans

gotti's are not complete

picked up some style 19's I am refinishing alongside the gottis

















don't know whose this is, but it is super OEM


scavenged the barrel from this style 5


first ever attempt at drifting, or using a GoPro, or video editing. with my phone
