now that im making a decent paycheck turning wrenches with dad, and broke up with my girl this morning i guess my money can now all be devoted to the ti.
the suspensions up first on the list since its starting to show signs of wear, horrible signs.
then straighten out the body. get the lights right and have the body fixed and some of the bad spots on the paint fixed.
then a 5 speed swap. as much as dads trying to steer me away from the swap i cant bear to drive an automatic anymore. and trading my car up for another bimmer thats manual is no fun since i really grew to like my car now. and even if i was to trade up id get nothing since i have a salvaged title. __________________

Good to hear you're sticking with the car and planning on the 5-speed swap. Before I got my ti, I had a 94 Accord auto that I really grew attached to and had plans for a Prelude motor swap and a 5-speed swap. I got the ti though and gave her away to my cousin. __________________
