Holy shit guys. This thing looks hard as fuck with the new wheels and tires. Gotta get the brakes unfucked, then I can drive it again

Damn man, what an update. Glad to hear you were unsuccessful in offing yourself, sounds like you have good people surrounding you.

Awesome to see you getting this thing back up and running. Enjoy it!

Real fast update why I sit here and eat my Costco hot dog. About 2 weeks ago I got a fire lit under my ass and decided to get rid of the ABS pump like I meant to do for years. Got the thing out and got the lines replumbed then discovered that I could not get the front brakes to bleed no matter what I did. Turns out the front lines were collapsed, so my issue has been both a bad ABS pump, and collapse lines. I had to pump tested years ago and it was bad at that time. Got some new lines from Garagistic, pull the pedal cluster and reset the bias and pedal height. Was able to get everything to bleed then. Holy crap it's so nice having more than just rear brakes, just got to dial the bias in now, I'm pretty close already. car is probably 80% less sketchy to drive now. Still scares the shit out of me though

Another update.
Gonna try to do these a little more often.
Still driving the dumpster fire, and still working on it. Unfortunately, the bad front suspension, Rack, and my Farm alignment has cupped the front tires really badly, So I'll probably have to buy 2 new tires for the front, once the I get the coilovers installed.
Oh Yeah, ECS Coilovers have been acquired, New lower strut housing to build said coilovers have also been obtained. I'm pretty happy with the back as it is, with the H&R Race springs, and Camaro Shocks, so I may not install the rears.

I also got a New Z3M steering rack to replace the one that is in the car and very worn out. I think I'm putting the power steering on, I just need to get a definitive answer on if the E34, M60 pump is compatible with the Z3 rack. I can't seem to get a strait answer.

Because I deleted the ABS pump not too long ago, that gave me space to move the oil filter over to the left side of the engine bay, and allowed me to use 740i hoses, and mounting hardware for the filter housing. Doing this eliminated the long oil lines I had made and in turn eliminated the oil leak I had. The lines I made had seeped since day one. I had to go by a T fitting for the oil Pressure switch, so I could keep my Oil Pressure gauge.

Something occurred to me the other day, Once I get the Coilovers done, and the steering situated, All the major stuff will be done. Kinda weird to think I'm this close to it being "Finished."

Also, I had some down time at work this evening, I uploaded and fixed a majority of the pictures. Unfortunately Some pictures are just gone. Fuck Photobucket.....Fucking Fuckes......
