      Same green I used! Add a little flair to a boring image, good work.

        Thanks guys!

        Turns out the used clutch master cylinder took a shit. We will be fixing that this weekend and installing some HID's. Depending on our level of motivation, maybe the car will finally get the waxing it needs. If so, I'll definitely shoot some new pics.

          I should also mention... We installed OEM E30 M3 springs, Bilstein HD's, and a 3.73 LSD in to the car. Drives SOOOOO much better now!

              Well, since the car is basically an "i" car now, the 3.73 was a must. I think it's perfect. I'm looking forward to driving the car after the new clutch master, I think the pedal is going to feel a lot better.

                  other than that looks like you guys did some nice work.
                  my sentiments exactly

                    Just bringing this back from the dead. The green stroker has been pulled out and sold to another R3V member.

                    The "new" powerplant went in last night. :) More details later.

                            Hahaha. We all know how that goes. It still will be a DD once it's back on the road. :)
