Was going to install the front swaybar bushings. However, Bummerworld sent 24mm bushings AGAIN! At this rate it'd be less frustrating to spend the money on an H&R bar.

I replaced mine.. sorta.

The one I bought all those years ago had a serious flaw from day one. It has been wrecked, totalled, improperly repaired, and resurrected with a clean title.

As such. the passenger door always had problems opening and there was a slight "kink" in the passenger fender where they forced the fender to fit the properly repaired car. They also never painted over or undercoated all the welding that had been done to the floor of the car.

As such, my TI is a mess. The entire passengerside floor is rotted out, the passenger wheel well is rotted (also from where they welded the car up) and the passenger door no longer works at all.

I picked up a shell in philly for $150. Now, over the winter, I need to get it cleaned up and repainted to Calypso and then to transfer over my interior, drivetrain, and suspension.

As it sat when I bought it. Gotta love how you can leave a shell of a car on the kerb in Philly and nobody bothers with it.









It is surprisingly rust free.. not even a hint of the stuff under the car.

Finally received my Flex disc, Drive shaft center bearing kit, clutc kit, & Trans mounts. Now just gotta call Bimmerworld and order my trans....

You know you love a car when you spend more in parts than what you paid for the car...

I do too, I don't normally sport it (even though I prefer the roof rack "look") so it stays new looking

Haha yea I have no reason what so ever for a roof rack but the aesthetics of it are incredible on slammed cars with a low offset especially.. maybe ill purchase one in the future and rock it during winter

Started tearing into the M50TU that's going into the 318ti. Got the cams & cam trays pulled, then realized I've lost my E8 Torx socket, so I can go no further until I replace it. This was the filthiest engine I've ever seen!!
