        E46 steering wheel for stereo controls.
        Entire new dashboard. Unmentionable stuff on that deal.
        Navigation with side view cameras.
        Some kind of newer motor, but likely a bone stock M52.
        Fresh paint with a bit of custom stuff going on.
        New subframe with adjustability, custom sway mounts.
        Door panels to match my seats, get the rear done too.

        Fuck all of this, it depresses me.
        All this shit I cannot do from lack of facilities!

        Closing SOON!
        "LAST CHANCE FOR G.A.S." DEAL IS ON NOW

        Thanks for 10 years of fun!

              James, I'm going to build you a "helmet cam" that you can wear when building this beast. I need to see every second of this build. If for nothing else than to live vicariously through a s38 project.

              I dream of a s38 install, but my wallet, on the other hand, has no imagination.

                ^^^^^^^^^^^^
                thats what I really want to do but my wallet dose not like S38 parts and I would need to rebuild it 1st if I am going to put in to my car

                Stuff that really needs to get done
                Fix the blister on the hood in the fresh paint
                fix the 2 assembly chips from when I painted it in 07 that I did not get to this year (was only home 2 weeks this summer)
                fix the way my rear bump strip fits
                re polish my D.B's and wheels, may swap for a good set of euro bumpers an get rid of the polished boards IDK
                IS or Volvo Lip
                new exhaust regardless if I get to the swap or not
                and maybe finally get all the stuff around a do my s52+ big boost build (doubtfull though)

                Then it will be done after 4 years it will be done
