            What did Turk and Levent do to the car?
            Hmmm, let me see if I can remember it all. It's in the first thread I linked.

            Cluster
            E36 SSK with new bushings
            Trailing arm bushings, subframe mounts, good 4:10 iX diff
            New e-brake cables, fresh paint on subframe/trailing arms.
            new rotors/pads at all four corners
            Thermostat, chain tensioner, checked upper pan bolts, oil change
            put in grey carpet, houndstooth door panels, dyed headliner and read parcel shelf black
            installed sound deadening throughout the car while interior was out

            Turk also let me borrow his GPS to drive the car to Tulsa. Which made the drive alot nice, pretty much cake once I was out of PA, but there were a few places I might have missed a turn if I had been looking at a map.

            It's a good thing L finally cut me and Turk off. The first few hours of the drive were already pretty shitty from my beer hangover!

              Dude, i don't know how you made that drive as far as you did before sleeping.

              Glad to see the car is getting better and better.

                          Hehehe, if there wasn't that stretch of nothingness across Illinois (that really put me to sleep), I could have made it farther the first day.

                          I know, once I had the tires were on, I was kicking myself for not having ordered spacers sooner.

                          I need to, but I'm not looking forward to it. I might puss out and just do one of those Bav Auto dash covers.

                          I can't wait to see what it feels like to drive the car with those wheels/tires on it!

                          Don't be. The Bronzit had a ton of rust/structual issues. Even the front jack pads behind the front wheels were starting to collapse up and toward the middle of the car.

                          I did not, I was too busy hammering out the miles. I think I took one pic at an Arby's, outside of Dayton, OH with my iPhone at night. The pic sucked but is in one of the threads I linked earlier.

                          I did Newark to St. Louis the first day, then St. Louis to Tulsa the next.

                            I cant believe how time flies... I wish we had a video camera to record the build, all the drama(Turk and I yelling at each other to get stuff done) and then the get together to send you off. Good times.

                            This picture pretty much wraps it up for me...
